Subjects such as Evolution vs. God have taken up a major part of the human history. This precise topic has opened up a whole new way of thinking even though no one can factually prove one is right and the other is wrong. Opinionated matters such as these can provide incentive to believe in what what suits the situation. For example, imagine a man can that won the lottery after a hard worked life. In this situation, the man would thank god for this fortune. An outsider might believe that it was just the matter of luck that won the man the lottery. It’s just a matter of perspective and it depending on many varying factors such as how and where we are raised. Another example of this can be seen by my self experience. I was born in India and almost everyone that lives there believes that there is a god. …show more content…

This is how I grew up and after moving to America, I was introduced to a whole new world of thinking. This is one of the many themes that is stated in Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein. In the story, the matter of god vs man comes up very often as the main character Victor Frankenstein takes the role of god to create a creature. This creature then evolves to become someone instead of something as it finds a purpose in life. This purpose is to kill his creator Frankenstein, as he was left to die after birth. The creation of the monster by Victor Frankenstein is shows as the monster being the innerself of Victor, the fact that Victor intended the monster to be an invention who then turned into a creation, and the monsters life as he is left alone after

  • Theme of Playing God in Frankenstein

    1032 Words  | 3 Pages

    If you create something should you be able to kill it? The notion of playing god like Victor did with the creatures in Frankenstein is comparative to the same issue the courts have with abortion laws. Various angles of abortion can be quite overwhelming as well as who makes the final decision. Many governments have struggled to strike what they believe to be a balance between the rights of pregnant women and the rights of fetuses. Before life is started, generally, an individual has thought about whether or not they want to create life. All life is created whether it is the creatures in Frankenstein or development of a fetus. Once life has been created choosing to end that life can cause many issues. The struggle of choosing between life and death could be avoided by an individual evaluating the results of creating a life before starting the process.

  • Free Essays - Religious Motifs in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    723 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most important religious comparison in Frankenstein, are the outstanding similarities between Victor as God and the monster as Lucifer. This idea is proven by the monster in the quote where he states, " I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed." Broken down, this quote shows us that the monster feels that he is the neglected creation and that he has been created to be unhappy, although he has committed no wrongdoing, and he doesn't deserve to be mistreated by society. As it goes in the bible, God created Lucifer as the most brilliant and beautiful angel in the sky with good intentions, but Lucifer turned his back on his creator and began a notorious streak of evil as the "malignant devil." Now if the role of God is switched with that of Victor, and the role of Lucifer is switched with that of the monster, the story is retold in almost the same context. Now to prove that this is not just farfetched speculation, the monster even says in his quote that he ought to be Adam, God's successful creation, rather than the fallen angel (Lucifer). Among other quotes in which the monster deigns Victor as [his] creator, this is a powerful novel reference and this quote beautifully shows the direct motif of religious role-playing in Frankenstein.

  • The Mutability Of Nature In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    1547 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Chapter 10 of Frankenstein, as Victor ascends the mountain towards the summit of Montanvert, he philosophizes on the mutability of human emotions. Mary Shelley uses eight lines from Percy Shelley’s poem ‘Mutability’, typecast as prose, to convey her meaning: “We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep […] Naught may endure but mutability!” (Shelley, 41). This may be interpreted as a movement away from the Romantic idea of the natural sublime, towards a more subject-dependent definition of the same. This essay, however, attempts to establish the difficulty of coming to any such conclusion, by exploring various literary and philosophical representations of the idea.

  • Accepting the Extraordinary in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

    1603 Words  | 4 Pages

    My life, although not without surprises and unusual events, is dictated by predictable and ordinary elements. However, through fiction I am transported into a world of boundless imagination and extraordinary themes. One such example is evident in my response to Mary Shelley’s gothic novel Frankenstein. Through fiction, Shelley invites the reader to accept the extraordinary. Firstly, we are led to believe that Victor Frankenstein is able to create life by shocking it with electricity, and to this I responded with an imaginative curiosity. But it was the consequences of the creation provoked a stronger response from me. The element of horror Victor experiences and his reaction to the ‘god like’ qualities bestowed upon him as creator is truly extraordinary. Victor, like no other man, experiences the feeling of immense power and responsibility as creator of man, and this provoked a sympathetic response from me. Finally I also accepted and responded to the extraordinary concept of the monster, who, unlike to the majority of humanity, is created without a sense of cultural identity. Additionally, what is extraordinary to me as a reader is the humanity and intelligence the monster displays, despite the disadvantageous of his creation. This made me have sympathy for monster and served to blotch the credibility of Victor. Throughout the novel I was inclined to accept Shelley’s invitation and to explore a deeper view of humanity.

    Creation, why is one drawn to the idea of it? Is it perhaps something that is within us all, an innate desire that we all possess, that desire being the power to give life to something, and in doing so, playing the role of God? In Victor Frankenstein’s case, these are definitely questions that one might ask. When we are introduced to Victor, we come to learn that he has a thirst for knowledge, and is passionate about following his dream of understanding the miracles of the world, particularly, the miracle o...

  • Playing God in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    1250 Words  | 3 Pages

    Over two centuries ago, Mary Shelley created a gruesome tale of the horrific ramifications that result when man over steps his bounds and manipulates nature. In her classic tale, Frankenstein, Shelley weaves together the terrifying implications of a young scientist playing God and creating life, only to be haunted for the duration of his life by the monster of his own sordid creation. Reading Shelley in the context of present technologically advanced times, her tale of monstrous creation provides a very gruesome caution. For today, it is not merely a human being the sciences are lusting blindly to bring to life, as was the deranged quest of Victor Frankenstein, but rather to generate something potentially even more dangerous and horrifying with implications that could endanger the entire world and human population.

Frankenstein spends countless hours in isolation, something humans are not meant to do, and he “succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life” (50). After remain in isolation he believes he is greater than other humans and was able to attain God’s level because he can create life.

  • Shelly's "Frankenstein" and Milton's "Paradise Lost"

    1145 Words  | 3 Pages

    In "Paradise Lost", God creates man; in Shelly's story, Victor Frankenstein creates monster. Early in Shelly's book, we find that Victor has found out how to generate life "upon lifeless matter" (27), akin to God's creation of man from dust: "he formed thee, Adam, thee, O Man, / Dust of the ground" (Milton 189). Victor's representation of himself as a father relates well to Milton's illustration of God as the "Almighty Father" (65) and even the monster relates his existence to adam, "Like Adam, I was created apparently united by no link to any other being in existence" (Shelly 74). Lastly, as Adam and Eve fell in Paradise Lost when they ate from the tree of knowledge, the monster "falls"--"but sorrow only increased with knowledge" (Shelly 69). The ...
