    Third, the book is a tragic story because its characters are tragic heroes. A “tragic hero” is defined by Study.com to be “A virtuous character whose greatest strength typically results in their suffering and downfall.” This definition is played out perfectly in the character of the “old man,” or Santiago. He is an everyday character who is compassionate and kind towards both the boy Manolin and the animals he is around, and his greatest strength is his determination. Unfortunately, this determination causes him to hold onto the fish for an extremely long time, letting the fish drag him farther and farther out to sea and away from nourishment and rest.

    Over the past century, Frankenstein has been analyzed and interpreted in seemingly infinite different forms of literature, film, and television shows. Once solely recognized as the story about a brilliant scientist who creates a creature in whom he regrets making after the creature turns out ugly, Frankenstein now represents an internationally recognized and commercialized pop culture symbol for Halloween decorations and costumes.

When exploring the dichotomy of the Creature versus Victor Frankenstein, one of the biggest and most widely debated questions remains whether Victor should be blamed for the Creature’s destructive actions or if the Creature should be considered guilty for his actions based off of his own free will.
