Nature Vs Nature
Based off the creatures thoughts and personality is it the nature of his creator or the nature of all creature in general aka Humans that have this fierce behavior that the creature becomes what it is is? (Basically who is the blame of the nature of the creature the creator or the his surrounding and setting?)

The one to blame for the nature of the creature is first Frankenstein because he created the monster and then left it not showing it love and not teaching it how to survive within the world. Second would be the society around it for taking one glace at the monster and turning to attack it without first seeing if it was friendly and lastly it is the monster's fault because he was capable for acquiring his own character and the fact that he obtained human like traits there was no reason to act as vicious as he did years the people around him.
ReplyDeleteFrankenstein observing and exhibiting the nature surrounding him influenced his perception. Even though Victor Frankenstein conducted the creature, his vengeance for humans were incorporated by the humans he observed daily. "My protectors had departed and had broken the only link that held me to the world. For the first time the feelings of revenge and hatred filled my bosom."(Shelly, 132) As the humans witnessed the creature, they felt fear and resentful from Frankenstein. If Frankenstein was apart of nature where humans were compassionate and acceptance of him, the creature perception would be altered.
ReplyDeleteThose to blame for the creation of a beast-like disposition in the Monster are those of his creature that his surroundings. Victor has bestowed upon the Monster an intimidating frame full of power, swiftness, and grotesque features which leave him terrible ostracized by society. Humans possess the nature of hurting or fleeing from that which is strange or unique, something the Monster experiences countless of times which causes the insurrection of raging emotions that call for revenge upon his creator, Victor. As seen in the part of the story when the Monster appeals to the De Lacey family for love and companionship, the rejection is harsh giving rise to “a wild beast that had broken the toils; destroying the objects that obstructed me, and ranging through the wood with a stag-like swiftness” (121). The Monster’s creator and the humans surrounding him hold one thing in common; they rejected the Monster, which is cause for his fierce behavior.
ReplyDeleteThe one to blame for the creature is the Creator. The reason being, is that without the creator there would be no creature, and of course without the creature there could be no possible fault- "Listen to me, Frankenstein. You accuse me of murder; and yet you would with a satisfied conscious, destroy your own creature. Oh, praise the eternal justice of man"(Shelley 99).
