Major Theme
Frankenstein
novel is a romantic, philosophical, horror or they can theme of a major. There
are a linked to a very political power and frequency of death is a involved to
theme. We can say have the critical commentary or traditional, individual theme
as well as very power full or perspective. This novel is a both creativity or
right or ability is a create to the Frankenstein novel. There are a theme of a
action, manner, art copying life, they can have a another point in the major
theme. Frankenstein family theme is a very critically or value of the domestic
circle is central issue of the novel. This novel is a romantic or imagination,
and particularly in the character of victor
Frankenstein.
‘‘The single greatest horror story novel ever written and the most
widely influential in its genre.’’
Family,
society, Isolation
That seems a
strange claim in a novel full of murder, tragedy, despair. There are a novel is
a occur because all that tragedy, murder and despair of a lack of connection to
either family or society. Frankenstein story is very different or they can have
a perspective. The most important character is Frankenstein ’s monster, and
there creation is a very good or very sophisticated. Put another way, true evil
in Frankenstein is not victor or the monster, Isolation .But victor become lot
of a human society, and they can have a responsibility and consequences of his
action.
There novel is a very tragic but there beginning is a very simple or
clear. The monster turns not vengeful because it’s evil, but isolation fills it
overwhelming hat and anger. To make victor as isolated as it, and put all a
clear to society, family, isolation as the imaginative and revenge.
“You
can blast my other passion, but revenge remains- revenge, henceforth dearer
than light of food. I may die, but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall
curse the sun that gazes on your misery.”
Romanticism and nature
This romantic theme is present thought out of the novel, as both victor
and creature return to nature .Frankenstein novel’s character is a very strange
because victor is a man of science and monster is a unnatural. Shelley is a
romantic write to a Frankenstein; they can have a very immoral or perspective.
Romantic writer portray nature as the greatest and most perfect in the universe
.In a used word like convey the unfathomable power and flawlessness of the
nature. Victor and monster is a romantic and natural character. In contrast,
victor describes people as “Half made up”.
It should come as no surprise, and
then crises and suffering in a Frankenstein, imperfect men disturb nature’s
perfection. Frankenstein is a suffering to a novel; there family condition is a
very critical. Victor in his pride attempts to discover the “mysteries of
creation” by the “citadel nature”. In the end a victor is destroy for his
misguided attempt its power.
“Dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and
how much happier that man is believes his native town to be the world, than he
who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow”.
Revenge
First
of all encourage that it will never be accepted in human society. Second, by
taking revenge the monster eliminates ever joint human society. In that really
revenge only thinks a society, monster is revenge to a victor. First by victor
and then De Lacey family, the monster turns revenge. Monster is a action or
power hunger man. There are understandable: It has been hurt by the unfair
rejection of a humanity that cannot see past its own prejudices. Monster says
that Felix attacks and they cannot joint a society.
“Feeling of revenge and hatred filled me and I bent my mind towards
injury and death”
Frankenstein story is a tragic end
and they, victor are revenge to a monster. Revenge does not just consume the
creature, because it also consume victor, the victim of the monster’s revenge.
And finally monster murders victor’s relative. The revenge of victor and the
monster into true monster that have no feeling or destroying their foe.
“Flash of lightning illuminated the object
and discovered its shape plainly to me; its gigantic stature, and the deformity
of its aspect, more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly informed me
that it was the wretch, the filthy demon to whom I had given life”.
Prejudice
Nearly every human character in the
novel assumes that the monster must be dangerous. There are not simple man but
is a originally warm and open hearted. The monster is a rejected by village and
family despite his attempt to convey indentation. The violence and prejudice he
convinces him of the “barbarity of man”. That only character who can have accepted
the monster is a blind man, De Lacey is a suggest that the monster is right:
barbaric and blinded by its own prejudice.
“For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it
with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the
beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my
heart”.
Lost Innocence
Frankenstein present different the
corruption of youthful innocence. The most obvious involve in to victor. Novel
end is a very innocence and corporatist of the way. A young man on the cusp of
adulthood, victor leaves for university with hops and ambition. But his success and pride brings an end to his
innocence. There are justify to a revenge, and there character are a clarify. In
turn victor’s cruel “UN-innocent” behavior also destroys the monster innocence.
There character is
a innocent to a nature and perspective of the human way. Victor and the monster
losses of innocence ultimately lead to death. Thought murder suggests that
innocent is feeling; destroy by the reality or human nature.
“Seek
happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition, even if it be only the apparently
innocent one of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries”
“I am alone and miserable: man will not associate
with me; but one as deformed and horrible as I would not deny herself to me. My
companion must be of the same species and have same defects. This being you
must create”.
Inside vs. outside
One of
the prominent themes was inside vs. outside. There starting are a good or
perspective of the novel. That is instead of judging by the character and
goodness of the man, many character especially victor. Frankenstein’s created
is a beautiful or undesirable; we can say have a different quality of the
creation. The story is the concept of that people will not persuaded against
their notions unless proves. Frankenstein’s mother choosing Elizabethan because
she was blonde with blue eyes to Frankenstein. All including his own creator,
without care of his feeling or emotion.
“I beheld the wretch the miserable monster whom I had created. He held
up the curtain of the bed; and in his eyes, if eyes they may be called were
fixed on me”.
Passion
There theme is a very simple or connected
to the character. Passion play a large
role in the story. Almost every major character an obsession or existence. And
the in literature in think of romantic art in a novel. Frankenstein character
is a social, natural or unnatural and very purification of the way. Elizabeth
had a zeal for its life. Victor Frankenstein is a desire and craving for
knowledge of the unknown. The story of Frankenstein revolves around the thirst
to have more oneself.
“Elizabeth was of a calmer and more concentrated disposition; but with my
entire ardor, I was capable of a more intense application, and was more deeply
smitten with the thirst for knowledge.”
“This quote speaks of passion, of an unaltered need for an understanding
greater than could be imagined”.
Nature vs. science [the natural vs. the unnatural]
One of this constant between science and nature
that is mean unnatural or natural .Frankenstein’s a creation of this monster or
their nature into a imbalance. Monster is a very dangerous man or there are a
not control into a nature.
Victor’s
creation represents science, or the unnatural. Frankenstein’s creation of this
monster throws nature into a state of imbalance. Victor’s lose in the battle
between nature and science is the warning to dangerously nature’s secrets.
Finally discuss of a nature or unnatural is a very dangerous or critical.
“It’s
production and feature may be without example, as the phenomena of the heavenly
bodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered solitudes. What may not be
expected in a country of eternal light? I may there discover the wondrous power
which attracts the needle; and may regulate a thousand celestial observation s,
that require only this voyage to render their seeming eccentricities consistent
forever”.
Social
Acceptance and Belonging
Frankenstein is the theme issue of social acceptance and belonging. This
novel is a creature to a created or they can have a belonging. He alone learns
how to control and understand his sense, impact his environment. They can have
been a creature begins to a human behavior and social structure, and not accepted
to victor. “He suffers from the loneliness of never seeing anyone resembling
himself”. After reading the Frankenstein journal, the creature realizes he is
alone the world .The creature does not belonging to any group and his family, and
there are very angry or very sad. The
two most primarily instincts for any animal are sex and vengeance. The creature
continue to lash out again victor and human society because he is not expected
to a humanity and has no other means of satisfying his belonging need that
he so desire. Creature is a power hunger people and they say have a perspective
but not accept to a human nature. Victor is a man of science and the monster is
most defiantly unnatural. Creature is not belonging to any cast society, and
they are not accept to a society.
“Satan has
his companions, fellow- devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary
and abhorred”.
Conclusion
Frankenstein
is a Gothic novel and they kind of a contradictory. This novel is a character
is natural or unnatural in the point. Shelly is a written to a novel
philosophical, social, romantic, tragedy. But there are a very simple or
imaginative in a character in her novel. There are many themes in the story
Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Some of them are abandonment, neglect, revenge and
scientific knowledge, which are all related to each other in his novel. Near
the end of the story he also tall’s Walton that he wishes he mad monster
.Walton is a kill to monster, and finally their wish to complete. He had his
own intention though; he wanted the crew to help him find the monster, and did
not strange they own. The creature is a not belonging to a society or not
family. Society has not accepted to humanity because creature is not family,
and finally they are very dangerous man. This novel is a end of very tragic or
very sophisticated in a way. Ending the lives of the ones he loved, and
eventually too in his life.
