A Classic Fairy Tale

267 Words2 Pages

First of all, the first tale told by the monster taught me to reserve my judgement until the facts are out. Having assumptions are acceptable, but it is different when it comes to judgements. The first tale is a classic fairytale which is mainly about the battle of the prince and the stepmother in winning the throne. It illustrates the queen as a murderer who killed the king and the prince’s beloved in order to become and stay as the ruler. However, there is another version of that story and this version of the story is what caught my eye and kept me interested in watching. When the monster started telling the tale, I was not that curious about it since I pretty much know how every fairy tales go. I already predicted that it would be a happily

    This is best illustrated when the monster begins to explain his reasoning behind all the murders he committed. The monster only killed because he thought it was unfair that he was created with no guidance and affection and he wanted his creator to suffer the way the monster did all those days on his own with no one to comfort him. This signifies how the monster knew that his actions were not right but he felt the need to accomplish it because it was justice. The monster was misinterpreted throughout the whole novel as a crazy savage, but in reality he was angry because he was left alone while his creator was enjoying himself.

  • Victor Frankenstein Selfish

    In the book “The Devil You Know”, British author Mike Carey famously writes, “We make our own monsters, then fear for what they show us about ourselves.” This notion suggests that monsters are not just fictional characters but can also represent the darker aspects of human nature. In literature, a monster is characterized as evil, frightening and grotesque in appearance or behaviour. A human could also be called a monster judging by their actions and what they have done. Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein refers to Victor's creation as “the monster”, however, the true monster is Dr. Victor Frankenstein who abandons his creation and demonstrates monstrous qualities himself.

    As we can see from the picture above, this is an altogether different scene from what we read in the book, as we know that the monster is a violent creature. Still, it has a very high level of intellectual and cognitive ability. The monster is intelligent, which makes it even more evident how much knowledge he has about himself, the world around him, and how he appears to others. In this way, the work acquires a depth that the adaptations of the job do not possess when we see it as a whole. While all the monster's actions appear in the book based on reason, thought, and logic, the monster behaves irrationally in the

    The monster is also capable of wanton destruction when he burns down the DeLaceys’ house and dances “with fury around the devoted cottage”(123) like a savage. Finally, the monster seems to enjoy the pain he causes Frankenstein: “your sufferings will satisfy my everlasting hatred” (181) he writes to Victor. Were these pieces of evidence taken out of context, the reader would surely side with Frankenstein. But Shelley prevents such one-sidedness by letting the monster tell his version of the story.

    Both boys and girls were brought up by the city women until the age of seven, when boys (paidia) were taken from their mothers and grouped together in "packs" (agelai) and were sent to what is almost equivalent to present-day military boot camp. This military camp was known as the Agoge. They became inured to hardship, being provided with scant food and clothing; this also encouraged them to steal, and if they were caught, they were punished – not for stealing, but for being caught.[12] There is a characteristic story, told by Plutarch: "The boys make such a serious matter of their stealing, that one of them, as the story goes, who was carrying concealed under his cloak a young fox which he had stolen, suffered the animal to tear out his bowels
