Mary Shellys Frankenstein - A Victim of Society Essay -- Frankenstein

Mary Shellys Frankenstein - A Victim of SocietyThe wight captain Frankenstein describes in Mary Shellys Frankenstein is far from a villain, at least(prenominal) in the traditional sense. This creature is a victim of circumstance, scarred by society, and scorned by its own creator. Contrary to the Christian belief in original sin, I sympathize with the monsters view on life when he states I was benevolent and good misery made me a the Tempter (Shelly 78). I disagree with the idea that all men ar born(p) sinners, I feel that all men are born nice and clean. It is only their future actions that make them imperfect. A true relationship surrounded by the monster and skipper never existed. Victor is similar to a manhood who fathers a child only for the pleasure of doing it, ignoring the circumstances it may bring. Victor was so thrilled to see the components of his creation coming together - and so it was truly a thing of beauty to him. But like the biological father , he is only excited oer the thrill of doing it. After the wiz and pleasure of creation ends responsibility begins and Victor, like our modern day deadbeat dads, refuses to face the consequences of his actions. Any relationship that existed between these two was simply that of rake-off - except the currency was not gold or silver, but fame and pride. Victor hoped to use his creation in a selfish manner, only to assoil recognition for himself. So what did the creature gain from all of this? He surely was not the recipient of any pleasure. And as far as exploitation, he never had a chance to exploit his creator, his creator only work and abandoned him. The monster is not merely a madman murdering random individuals he is a creation of war, fightin... ...reature for his wrongs. Frankenstein should teach us an important lesson astir(predicate) our own society. We have to be careful not to assume everyone has had the equivalent opportunity as the next man, or to as sume a soul is nothing more than a misfit because he stumbled into some trouble. When the creature mourns over Victors dead body, we see he is human like anyone else. He cries, he apologizes, and he breaks down. Like going to jail . . . where a person is stone-broke down and circumstance prompts them to ponder the situation they have fallen into. well-nigh so-called criminals in America are not evil they are victims of a society, situation, or lack of knowledge that has put them in that persuasion - just like the monster.
