The Impact Of Words In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Another time horror can be seen is when Victor sees Henry’s dead body. He can’t help but thinking about the image “I saw the lifeless form of Henry Clerval Stretched out before me(167). Not only is horror used but also violence. Violence is seen when Victor learns about the tragic death of his young brother. He is upset about the fact he was murdered in such a cruel way “To die so miserably, to feel the murders grasp”(60).

Well, in my research I had found out that according to Rebecca Dudczak the one reason was that Pometheus experiences consequences from power and enlightenment,(Dudczak) just as Victor Frankenstein does in the novel. Experiencing consequesnes is the first reason Frankenstein is considered The Modern Prometheus. The inquiry for power and enlightenment and not being precautious of what could happen if you temper with the laws of nature. The consequences in Frankenstein can be compared with the original story Prometheus because there is an abundance of tragedy in this story and it seems to repeat itself as it does in Prometheus. The monster continues to strangle and kill multiple people and the bird continues to attack and eat the liver of prometheus.

Zits remembers as an eight year old, “...my new father took me into another dark room in the basement, one without any trains, and did evil things to me. Things that hurt.” (Alexie 75). This abuse he experienced from his stepfather made it impossible to feel self worth. It caused him great degradation. He was just a boy, an innocent victim with no one to console him or counsel him.

None of his interactions with humans was positive, starting with his master (Chapter 15). Unlike a human baby who is exposed to many types of people, the monster only saw corruption. Thus, when it was his turn to do something, he mimicked the people he saw. Even the De Lacey family, whom he thought to be contrary to the norm, ran away from him (Chapter 16). This ultimate act of repudiation propelled him over the edge, and he ended up committing his first act of manslaughter; he killed Victor’s nephew William Frankenstein (Chapter

The knowledge itself, or the journey to gain information? Shelley creates an overlying theme of knowledge and the dangers associated with it by using allusion and development of her characters Victor Frankenstein, Robert Walton, and the Creature. One of the biggest ways Shelley executes the theme of knowledge and its consequences is through allusion. Shelley alludes

His first indication of his egotistic behavior is when he embarks on the task of creating life. His egotism and cowardice manifest itself even more when it not only leads to the death of his younger brother William, but also to that of Justine the young girl accused of murder, and his childhood friend Clerval( Storment, 2002). Victor claims at hand to admit to the murder so that he will be incarcerated however, he abstains from coming clean in light of the fact that he is embarrassed about himself and his unsuccessful experiment which has hurt his sense of self-pride furthermore society

Women was treated poorly in Umuofia because men believe that they were weak and in inadequate. “ Even as a little boy Okonkwo had represented his father 's failure and weakness, and even now he still remembered how he had suffered when a playmate had told him that his father was Agbala. That was held first came to know that Agbala was only another name for a woman that also mean a man who had taken the title” Achebe 15.

While Piggy spoke Roger pushed a large boulder on Piggy, thereby killing him. The parallel between the Syrian civil war and Lord of the Flies was that both Jack and Bashar al-Assad silenced people who opposed them. Aforementioned, the thirteen year old boy involved with the protests was killed after being tortured for his involvement. Therefore, the two boys are similar, because although Piggy was a fictional character, he too suffered an unfortunate fate because he spoke up against a tyrannical ruler. describes Ralph’s conversation with Sam and Eric, two boys that had been taken to Jack’s

Section 1: Description of Jeffrey Dahmer Jeffrey Dahmer, the Milwaukee Cannibal, killed 17 homosexual boys and men. Jeffrey Dahmer’s case helped the study for medical and psychology fields. When he was born he was known as happy child but after getting a surgery to correct a double hernia it changed his personality completely making him more reserved. To cope, Dahmer started to dissect animals, abuse alcohol and developed antisocial tendencies. This case shocked and sickened many individuals due to the violent nature of the murders.

His looks and actions put him on the path of being a monster. I think it can be accredited to these factors that the Monster is the focal point of monstrosity. Yet, I also think that we can call Victor a monster. However, it is not with the same qualifications as his counterpart. I classify Victor as a monster because through his lucid thought process, he abuses his power of knowledge.
