Hatred In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

The pristine blankness of their mind is susceptible to impressions, both positive and negative, from external factors, primarily parenting, schooling and their interactions with society. Victor’s physical and emotional reactions to his child tarnish this slate, altering the monster’s interpretation of the parent-child relationship and that of his part in the social order. Victor’s “bitterness of disappointment” reflects through his avoidance of his creation and foreshadows the abuse and abandonment that would ensue for the rest of the novel (Shelley 60). The monster cannot help his actions and thoughts because the only moral confidant that could possibly understand him is the absent

When Victor tries to kill his creature-like “Son”, the creature runs away where he is then sought after as a threat to society rather than someone looking for a companion. Being alone and dismissed from society the creature goes to look for Victor, but finds a family that he observes and learns from. The family are who he considers friends, though the blind grandfather is the only one who knows of him. When the family finally sees the ugly creature, they defensively beat him and run away. The creature then intensely starts his journey to find Victor, where he eventually

Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed? I know not…” (Shelley, 16.1). His reasons were selfish, to defy nature, and in fear of his own work he left it to suffer, without guidance into a world that was so foreign to him. Then when given a chance to bring the monster what he believes his only chance of happiness, he destroys it. “‘Shall each man,’ cried he, ‘find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone?

But once he does, he understands that he will never be able to find companionship, which leads him to pain and anger. Following this both characters feel sorrow and regret in their own ways, the monster through guilt for the people he hurt and Frankenstein because his family were hurt by the being he created. By the

The Creature shows the theme, because he represents passion himself; all of the creature’s actions were incredibly passion driven and all lead to some sort of destruction. Victor was the most self destructive character because his passion for knowledge and later his passion to destroy the creature lead to the destruction of himself. The creature’s and Victor’s want to destroy each other was fueled by their mutual hatred, in the end they both had the same destructive fait. The theme of passion leads to destruction can be seen in Frankenstein and also real life, one may see the destructive powers happen to people around them in

Relationships in Frankenstein 1)Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein novel analyzes the life of a monster abandoned by his father and creator with no companionship in life. 2) The monster created to appear beautiful turns out ugly which leads to his father abandoning him in fear. 3) The creator, Frankenstein, recognized the monster as grotesque and ran away in fear of the monster he had created. 4) The monster runs away and after he becomes self educated he returns to his father in order to receive companionship. 5) Even a monster needs companionship to survive the loneliness of being different.

This much is true for Victor’s failure to take responsibility for not only teaching his creation about life but also failure to take responsibility for the actions of his creation. “Frankenstein! You belong then to my enemy… you shall be my first victim” (153). Victor’s knows that he is responsible for the death of William because he abandoned his creation and made the monster learn the hard way that he would not be accepted into society. But he has no choice but to let Justine take the fall for the death of his brother because he fears being seen as a madman.

The only thing the creature wanted was to have someone to keep company with. Wherever the creature went there was always someone that rejected him because of how he looked and would get scared and run away. When he would try to do something thong good, something bad ended up happening to him. Each time his hatred for his creator grew more and more. He then wanted to get revenge on his creator.

Enraged by the fact, Victor’s creation begins to have little regard for the people around him, especially those who reject him. Taking this into account, Victor’s scientific breakthrough puts the people of his community in danger. This is evident the monster despises all humans when he says,“I declared everlasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me, and sent me forth to this insupportable

The narrator experiences grave racism which promotes him to change his definition of himself when he travels through a series of communities. Also, the Liberty Paints Plant prevents the narrator in fulfilling his wishes to identify himself due to the racism he undergoes. The Brotherhood initial helps the narrator but as time passes they completely betray him causing his identity to change. A person's identity will always be an essential part of their lifetime. Without an identity, people become lifeless and invisible.

The entire message of each event due to his rejected by other humans due to his appearance and realization that his existence in society would never become a reality. The creator would endure the continual rebellion and deep sadness inflicted by the creature after these events for the rest of his

The only way it becomes a murderer is when its main goal is to seek revenge. The creature is pissed off because he has been abandoned his whole life by his creator and with no one to take care of him he is left alone in this belligerent world. He can not simply be existing in this world where he has nobody to love. That is all he is looking for. He wants to love someone and feel secured by another’s love.

The creature can be viewed sympathetically in several ways. The creature is a victim of his environment and it is not his fault he was created and abandoned by his creator due to his scary looks leaving him scared, homeless, all alone to fend for himself. “I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property”;” I was hideously deformed and loathsome” (Shelly, 107). The creature was born in a world that wasn’t accepting of him because he was judge by his scary appearance and not recognized as a person. People would be afraid and run away from him.
