Love is a choice, a feeling, a kind of belief and a kind of responsibility. I get this thesis from two different places. In the movie “Beauty and the Beast” and the novel “Phantom of the Opera,” we can see this theme when we analyze the similarities and differences between the characters of the Beast and Erik, and Belle and Christine. In the movie “Beauty and the Beast”, the Beast choice Belle, he do not choice any other girls. He just loves Belle. Why? Maybe because of Belle is very beauty, but it isn’t all. She is kind, friendly, brave and vivacious. The beast is self-abasement; he feared that she may be repulsed by his ugliness and run away. Fortunately, Belle do not repulsed him, she just afraid of the Beast. In the beginning, the Beast’s temperament is very bad; he is irritable and easy to angry. If they have something that the Beast does not want to do, he will very angry and bellow. “There’s a stranger here! Who let him in? You have all betrayed me! Who are you? What are you doing in my castle? You’re not welcome here! I am hideous aren’t I? You’ve come to see the Beast, haven’t you? I’ll give you a place to stay!” Belle runs away. Although the Beast and Belle has a commitment about Belle must replace her father to stay there forever, she still run away. Then Belle has a big problem. So many wolfs! Wolfs will kill her.

    This is because a couple of things first, his physical characteristics. Everyone including the monster knew how ugly he was “As soon as he beheld my form, he place his hands before his eyes and uttered a shrill scream” (Shelley 153). This leads to people always thinking that he is doing something bad because he is a monster. For example when The Monster was saving the little girl the man that was with her though he was attacking her so he shot him in the shoulder. This makes him feel that he cant find a purpose in his life that because nobody will ever accept him he will never know what to do with his life.

    It was very uncommon for the monster to exist in the world because no one would think Frankenstein's experiment was possible (“Mary”). Since the monster gained a personality and a sense of feeling, he expresses his feelings through actions and other influences. “Treat a person ill, and he will become wicked...divide him, a social being, from society, and you impose upon him the irresistible obligations- malevolence and selfishness” (“Mary” 27). If you treat someone badly, they will become the person you made them to be. The monster was bullied by the people just for the way he looks and later made him a bully to the humans.

    He was formed through behavioral views and experiences due to the lack of education and learning the morals of society. To society standards his physical appearance was not accepted and created a feeling of confusion within the monster causing him hateful feelings towards humans after being shown cruel actions. He received constant judgment and rejection due to his appearance, "His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of pearly whiteness; but these luxuriance 's only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips" (Shelley, 58), yet the monster did not have any opinion of his own self but what was given from Victor and the society. The creation refused to continue to let this happen and reacted with anger, just like anyone other human would. The confusion and rage continues for the monster when society treats him with cruelty after meeting a family in the wilderness and they run away from him.

    The blatant rejection of the monster in Frankenstein highlights the characters flawed understanding of humanity. The novel suggests that humanity is not just about physical appearance, but also about one's actions, emotions, and intentions. The monster, despite his looks, possesses human-like qualities such as the ability to feel emotions like love and anger. When the monster first confronts Frankenstein, he says, "I am thy creature, and I will be even mild and docile to my natural lord and king if thou wilt also perform thy part, the which thou owest me" (Shelley 90).
