Final thoughts too...
What is humanity? What
social criticism does Shelley make about humanity? At the end does Shelley
bestow humanity on the creature? Support your answer with the text.
Humanity is the ability to love respect and care for others. Shelly socially criticizes that humanity is an inconsistent aspect that is not seen in vengeance. At the end Shelly bestows humanity on the creature by having him commit suicide after murdering his creator. The monster also accepts his evil deeds and reveals that "it is true that I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept, and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing" (196). His action and perceiving words display that humanity has been conferred on the creature.
Being benevolence is a characteristic of humanity. Shelly incorporates social criticism by in telling the retribution within the creature, Frankenstein. Shelley established how Frankenstein chastened his mistakes in the past. “I shall die, and what I now feel no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly and exult in the agony of torturing flames.”(Shelley,211)
Humanity is being able to cherish, love, and respect others. Shelly conveys the opposite of this when the monster commits suicide. he felt regret over his past mistakes. “I shall die, and what I now feel no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly and exult in the agony of torturing flames.”(Shelley,210)
Humanity is the ability to feel compassion and love someone despite their flaws and the horrible things they have done to you. For all that talk about the monster being inhuman, he did feel grief over his creator's death, despite how poorly Victor treated him "Farewell!...Farewell (Shelley 211)". Shelley incorporates social criticism by showing that humanity doesn't mean being vengeful and bloodthirsty throughout the book. Victor's and the monster's vengeance towards each other never helped them improve themselves; on the contrary, it made them even more monstrous.
Humanity is quality of being a human for having sympathy, compassion for others. Shelly socially criticizes about humanity that it is changing constantly depending on the situation. At the end Shelley bestow humanity on the creature by creating a guilty mood that overcomes as the monster said “I should have wept to die: now it is my only consolation polluted by crimes, and torn by the bitterest remorse, where can I find rest but in death?” (Shelly 197). His anger and guilt about the all the crime he has done; Therefore death is the only way to solve the problem.
