In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley employs biblical allusions to demonstrate that only nature can achieve perfection. After contemplating his fate while listening to Safie, Felix, and Agatha, the monster realizes that “no Eve soothed [his] sorrows nor shared [his] thoughts” and that his Creator “had abandoned [him]” (Shelley 141). The monster desperately craves acceptance and companionship just like Adam had with Eve, but Frankenstein refuses to help, leaving the monster to suffer in his isolation without someone to “soothe his sorrows.” Shelley compares Frankenstein to God as a creator of life and reveals that Frankenstein pales in comparison to God, as he leaves his creation without anyone to help him live. Only God can imbue something with true
Regular use of the prescribed drug can quickly and dangerously turn into abuse, which can later turn to addiction. Oxycodone is a powerful pain reliever and offers relief to people who are in pain or struggling with terminal conditions. It can be often hard to stay on top and in control of the situation. Admitting that you have an addiction or recognizing that someone else is suffering from it and offering a helping hand, can help save a life. oxycodone is nothing to mess with, as it is quite a real and possibly deadly
Whereas stimulants have psychological and physiological effects having the effect of increasing one’s ability to pay attention but also raises the heart rate and blood pressure (Gaines & Kremling, 2014; The National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2017). Opioids are then used to relieve pain but can cause constipation and sleepiness as well as a long list of other short-term effects (The National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2017). Now as you can see, each drug has its side effects these side effects can easily worsen when prescription drugs are misused. Methods of improper use could be taking
Now, anti-anxiety drugs like Xanax account for half of all overdoses nationwide (Mellor). Xanax abuse is part of whatIt is often called the shadow epidemic, because the general public mainly focuses on drugs like heroin, cocaine and opiods. This centralized focus on only a couple types of dangerous drugs gives a sort of tunnel vision effect, blinding people from seeing or caring about “better” drugs like
“ Because they produce euphoria in addition to pain relief, they can be misused. Regular use- even as prescribed by a doctor can lead to dependence ,and when misused, opioid pain relievers can lead to overdose incidents and deaths” (Drugabuse.gov/opioids) Prescribing opioids have more dangers to the human than they do
Dependence on prescription opioids can stem from treatment of chronic pain and in recent years is the cause of the increased number of opioid overdoses. Opioids are very addictive substances, having serious life threatening consequences in case of intentional or accidental overdose. The euphoria attracts recreational use, and frequent,
Picture this, you are going through life just normal the good, the bad, the ups, and the downs and then you create something new and it’s a secret. Then all of a sudden every part of your life starts to go wrong not just one little thing your whole life and everyone included in it. The things you were typically accustomed to, like something as simple as seeing your family, was taken away from you and from then on nothing would ever be the same. In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley we are placed into Victor Frankenstein’s life, and we deal with the decisions he made when he created a monster that completely destroyed his life. After reading I began to think about how Victor’s illness effected the entire novel, not just his physical sickness but it also shows his mental sickness and this drove the entire novel.
A couple fellow classmates in high school and college were always taking some kind of pills. Myself not knowing much about drugs, I thought they were prescribed. Later, I found out that they weren’t prescribed. My classmates were using them for themselves and also distributing to other students. I never spoke up about it, since I never witnessed the distribution but rumors go around.
In the work Frankenstein, Mary Shelley describes how Victor Frankenstein creates life from a dead body and hates his creation. Society rejects and hates the Monster, triggering him to hate Victor and himself for being created. The Monster sets out on a quest for revenge and hatred towards Victor, trying to destroy both Victor’s life and the lives of everyone close to him. The Monster is controlled by anger, which causes pain in both Victor and the Monster’s life. The Monster’s quest for revenge shows the controlling aspects of anger.
We all like to think that evil is not born within us, but rather nurtured into us; while this may be true for some, others have evil born directly into them. When man toys with the powers reserved for only God, God strikes back with a wicked evil to show man the power that they truly lack. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein contains a prime example of a being born of unnatural causes and thus having these evil urges that they cannot control. Frankenstein’s monster is a highly intelligent being, and hence he is very manipulative.
According to Michael Klein, “The most prescription drugs that are commonly misused are opioids, tranquillizers, sedatives, and hypnotics.” Unintentional overdose deaths involving opioid pain relievers have quadrupled since 1999 and have outnumbered those involving heroin and cocaine since 2002. (Klein). The reason some people abuse opioids is just to “get high”.
These pills, such as xanax and oxycodone allow people for short periods of time to withdraw from the harsh reality faced today. “Between 1997 and 2002, sales of oxycodone and methadone nearly quadrupled” (Okie). Around 15 years later and the prescription pill problem is continuing to skyrocket. Since prescription pills are dispersed out to anyone by doctors, many people do not realize that it is as much of an illicit drug as cocaine and heroin is. “Misinformation about the addictive properties of prescription opioids and the perception that prescription drugs are less harmful than illicit drugs are other possible contributors to the problem” (NIDA).
Grace Cochrane Mrs. Schroder English IV Honors 8 December 2016 Duties and Responsibilities of a Creator The kind of responsibilities that come with being a creator can have life changing effects on both the creator and his creation. Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” demonstrates a situation in which the creator neglects his responsibilities and duties to his creation; leaving his creation lonely, confused, and angry. Throughout “Frankenstein” Shelley compares the relationship between Victor Frankenstein and the monster to God and Adam.

Novel Analysis #7 - Frankenstein Disappointment, expressed from various scenes of sorrow, plagues all humans and evades none. For Shelley, Frankenstein embodies disappointment in the eyes of the one he created, the “monster”. Since Frankenstein hardly superseded anyone, the immaculate expectations set by the creature, Shelley criticizes Frankenstein's shortcomings.
