In conclusion, Victor’s reason for revenge on the creature is for destroying all of his happiness, killing his family, and all things good in his life. Although Victor blames the creature for his life falling apart, it is Victor’s fault ultimately because he created the problem. Without the creation of this being, there would be no death in Victor’s life other than his own happiness that he created for himself in solitude. Both Victor and the creature create an isolated world for each other. The story begins with Victor in his isolated room, progressing to the abandonment and alienation of the creature, and finally ending with the creature now creating a world of isolation for Victor in return.
...but what Victor doesn’t realize is the monster has always felt what Victor is feeling because Victor abandoned him. The cold wasteland in which Victor pursues the monster is a strong reminder of his hatred of his creation. The only thing that Victor wants out of life anymore is revenge, he is obsessed with finding the monster and killing it.
While Victor and the monster are divergent physically and socially, they have many identical characteristics. Even as they become increasingly similar, their relationship only exacerbates. They are similar in their desires for knowledge, relationships with nature, and with desires for family. These defining characteristics are what shape these characters, their actions, and ultimately the plot of the novel.
Two very different characters in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley shows deep irony in their exerts and life during the novel. Reading thoroughly through the situational irony in the passages from both Victor Frankenstein and the Creature, Victor represents the allusion of the Fallen Angel. Both characters experience drastic life events and downfalls which then leads to poor decisions affecting other characters in the novel.
In Mary Shelley’s, Frankenstein, one could believe that Shelley purposely made Victor and the creature very similar to show that just because of how a person looks does not mean they are different than a beautiful human being. Victor and the creature are not alike in their physical appearance but their personalities are nearly parallel. They both have an appreciation for nature, as well as a desire to be part of a loving family.
...sophy, and particularly chemistry, in the most comprehensive sense of the term, became nearly my sole occupation” (59). Furthermore, the moral of Victors story is one that you don’t realize you have something until you lose it, and this is the explanation of him going after the creation and saving his ‘friends’ before they are killed. Thus, for the creation himself, he goes through the entire book trying to find that “perfect peace of happiness.” Therefore, the creation’s story and Victors are similar because they both go through the book trying to find their goal in life. The creation pursing his life of trying to fit in society and learning how to interact with people causes his life to end at the same point he started, loneliness. Thus, Victor went from being content to loneliness and ended at the same point the monster did at the end of the novel.
In conclusion the novel Frankenstein shows similarities in both Victor and the monster. Even though Victor created the monster using different body part he ended up acting a lot like Victor even for different reasons. The monster may have looked a lot different from Victor but that doesn’t mean he has to shun him away. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
The unnatural creature that haunts Victor and the many similarities between the two characters play a vital role in the novel. In the novel, both Victor Frankenstein and the creature have catastrophic leading flaws. The fallout that occurs between Victor and the creature makes the reader see how the creature’s flaws are almost exactly like the flaws of Frankenstein just under different circumstances, and how they both succumb to evil, revenge, and death. The pride and ambition of Victor leads misery and revenge between the creature and Victor.
The creature was suppose to be the perfect being but, “...the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.”(Shelley, 70). The horrendous sight of the creature made Victor run and eventually just abandon and leave the creature to fend for himself. Now that the creature was left and is lonely he begins to experience emotions. The creature is like a child and does not know how to control his emotions. Once he feels the emotion of anger, it then builds to rage toward Victor. The creature is smart and realizes that if he isolates Victor from his friends and family he will become lonely and feel the way the creature felt when Victor abandoned him. The creature then devises a plan to get revenge on Victor by killing all of his friends and family. Once the creature succeeds Victor instantly regrets his actions and realizes that playing God was a terrible
Frankenstein is a book about the creature and the creator’s adventure and how they both experienced misery in a different, yet similar ways. An isolated creature wishing to have a female companion and a creator with a satisfying and pleasant childhood. Yet, they both possessed something that connects them together. Although people may argue that Victor Frankenstein is different from the creature, he is ultimately very similar to the creature because they are both romantic, played god, and sought revenge by the end of the book.
Victor and the creature he creates function as doubles. However, they differ in their physical appearances. Also, while Victor grows up in a loving family environment, the creature grows up alone, immediately abandoned by his creator. Victor’s classical education differs from the creature’s self-education. Besides the obvious differences between Victor and the monster, their dual natures unite to function as one. Both Victor and the creature share the love of nature, and both see themselves ...
The differences are just as stark as the similarities, majorly with their opposing upbringings, and thus with their motives throughout the book. Victor’s early life was very easy and pleasant, and he remarks this throughout the book. The most obvious of these remarks is when he tells Walton about his childhood: “No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself.” Victor’s childhood was easy- simple as that. On the other hand, the creatures upbringing wasn’t so good. From his creation to a bright world with nobody to care for him. He says: “It was dark when I awoke; I felt cold also, and half frightened, as it were instinctively, finding myself so desolate. I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; I knew, and could distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain invade me on all sides, I sat down and wept.” (84) THe creature had nowhere to go, and was lost for the first years of it’s life, banished to loneliness. In turn, this difference in upbringings causes a difference in their motives. First, Victor thirsts for knowledge and the secret to life. This causes the creation of the creature; his interest in natural philosophy, influence from the world, and the death of his mother. The monster, however, is fueled by his rage and loneliness. This is the most major of similarities between the
The creature later went on a journey looking for his creator, he wanted partner to be with him since he was the only one of his kind plus the people hated him. He wanted a partner whom he could live with and not feel alone in this world. When they first encounter themselves victor was amazed by his creation but once again victor did not wanted to see.” Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence, which you had so wantonly bestowed? I know not; despair had not yet taken possession of me; my feelings were those of rage and revenge. I could with pleasure have destroyed the cottage and its inhabitants
In Frankenstein, nature has a way of rejuvenating the characters and helping them in their daily lives. Nature helps Victor by restoring him to health after he created the creature and lost him and when he lost his loved ones. The creature saw nature as his safe haven. Nature made the creature feel safe, and in the novel he tells Victor that the beauty of nature is one of the only things that had made him happy. Throughout this novel, nature made the creature feel not as lonely, and nature made it more bearable to be on his
The Creature is not the real monster, he was a victim of society what they portrayed him as. Victor was the evil mastermind who made the same mistakes as his parents. Mary Shelley uses these two as a comparison where they both go to the mountains to find themselves and have a peace
