Frankenstein

Mary Shelley writes a classic novel, Frankenstein, which brings up many controversial ideas and beliefs. Mary Shelley hits the nail on the head on how man should act and his responsibilities. Man.s responsibility, Fall from the Grace of God, and man.s right to interfere with creation come up in this English Gothic horror novel.

The Birth of the Creature involves many things that happens before, during, and after the actual creation this hideous Monster. Frankenstein.s obsession in making the Monster starts years before the Thing comes to life. His teachers and educators get this disciple.s mind to think the same way these alchemists do. By following the teachings of Albert Magnus and Paracelsus, Frankenstein starts down a path which .the ancient teachers of this science promised impossibilities and performed nothing.; after all by going by their teachings the Doctor creates life. (Shelley 46). Then comes the next event, the actual creation of the Thing. The book does not say much about the actual creation except that this event takes place on a dreary night of November. Frankenstein becomes as happy as a little boy does at Christmas time when the spark of life goes into the creature. This scene sort of reminds my mind of Genesis when God breathes the Breath of Life into Adam.s body which gives Adam a soul and a way to live, but Frankenstein.s creature does not have a soul because the Doctor does not posses the power of God. Although Victor becomes happy of his life.s work that, .2 years of work has deprived his body of health and rest., Frankenstein runs out of the after the sight of the yellow skin body comes to life. (Shelly 56) This even affects the Doctor while his body rests, for his dream portrays a nightmare of his Elizabeth who walks in good health and transforms into the hue of death. This event hits Victor and all of a sudden the horror sinks in, and Frankenstein realizes what his deeds do. Soon after all of his agonizing and trying to rest the next part comes. After Victor creates the inanimate creature, reality sticks the Doctor in the head. Frankenstein never thinks whether or not his work should take place. Victor does not think about the deed until the deed takes place. The .creator. never becomes responsible enough to wield the power that he now possesses. The only connection the Creature has belongs to his master. So where does the Monster go to ease his mind of the yearning of a lady monster. .Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.. (Shelley 95) The Monster knows his master and treats Victor with respect, but the Doctor never becomes ready or mature enough to take the role of the Monster.s master thus making the Monster more of a man than Frankenstein.

The Monster, which Frankenstein leaves out in the wilderness with no experience of living, goes through the learning process, as does Frankenstein and the reader of this wonderful novel. The Creature does not remember anything of his creation, and if something pops up, the Monster has considerably difficulty thinking of the incident. This Adam runs around in the woods where the moon marvels his mind. His brain does not find out how to use his senses and some body movements yet. Fire has always fascinates mankind, and it ends up fascinating the Monster as he .thrust my hand into the live embers, but quickly drew it out again with a cry of pain.., but fire can provide heat and light but like anything else, consequences come with luxuries. (Shelley 100). The Student after awhile of practicing learns to speak which will provide him with many ways to communicate with the outside world, just like all little children do in their elementary school days. Finding out that humans hate and ridicule almost anything that looks different than themselves or belongs to a class under them, becomes one of the last things that the Creature learns and probably will never forget. While all of this goes on, Frankenstein himself happens to go under some education. Victor learns one of the hardest things that man even today pays a price for, because that man can not become God or even come near to posses the power of the Heavenly Father. Man does not usually think about doing something before they do it, but usually after like the Doctor does soon after his inanimate creation comes to life. Man always pays for their deeds of trying to act higher than God, just like all the people at the tower of Babel who paid dearly by bringing racism into the world does. As Victor finds out .The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature..(Shelley 56) To fix the desire of the hate of people, he decides to eventually to create the Thing a female partner and then they .will go to the vasts wild of South America.. (Shelley 139) The Monster and Frankenstein go through the learning experience, as does the reader while they enjoy this book. The quote that what goes around comes around becomes one of the most important things that anyone should learn from this novel. The villagers as they stone and beat the Creature, just shows that humans still do not understand that God creates everyone in his own image. Although God does not really create the monster, he does create all of the parts the Doctor uses to make him. Thus in my mind making
