Scandal...More like Harrison than Olivia

From reading the literary piece Frankenstein, how has the monster progressed with knowing his creator actually abhors him, and what makes the monster vengeful and vindictive after his entire time of believing and knowing that his creator is not a person of his best interest? What does the monster learn after these "tough" experiences?

Horror vs. Everything other genre???

In today's modern film, the people of today constantly categorizes Frankenstein films as a Horror genre. If the film is in the Horror genre, should the novel be considered the same? Did Shelley really wanted to illustrate a Horror or as another literary element (Tragedy Comedy, Romance, etc.)? Does the modern Frankenstein fit the characteristics of the one written in 1818?

Yes, No,Maybe so...?

"How inconstant are your feelings! but a moment ago you were moved by my representations, and why do you again harden yourself to my complaints I swear to you, by the earth which I inhabit, and by you that made me, that, with the companion bestow, I will quit the neighbourhood of men, and dwell as it may chance in the most savage of places. My evil passions will have fled for I shall meet with sympathy! my life will flow quietly away, and, in my dying moments, I shall not curse my maker." (Chapter 18, Pg. 146)

In this exert the monster accuses Frankenstein's feelings as being inconsistent, yet he later expresses his future ambivalent feelings toward his creator. What is Shelley trying to portray by doing this? And why is the monster so willing to forgive Victor?

The monsters within

"Slave, I before reasoned with you, but you have proved yourself unworthy of my condescension. Remember that I have power; you believe yourself miserable, but I can make you so wretched that the light of day will be hateful to you. You are my creator, but I am your master; --obey"(Shelly 149).

In this situation Frankenstein and the monster are arguing about him honoring his promise to create a mate for the monster.
 Is Shelly attempting to show the negative affects of the monsters and demons individuals create themselves? In this situation what makes the creator the slave?

You Can't Handle the Truth!

Is the truth always "needed"? In a relationship (whether friendship or romantic) is it up to the party that possesses the truth to decide whether the receiver deserves or can handle the truth? Was the fact that Victor withheld the truth from Elizabeth merely to protect her? What other factors caused him to keep the truth for so long?

Mirror...

As much as Victor experiences isolation, he seems unable to identify with the Monster in this area. Why is this so? 

Fight or Flight...

Does the possibility of a bad outcome warrant neglect, abandonment, or quitting of the situation? What are some experiences that have led to you this belief? What factors come into play when a person decides to essentially abandon a task, being, or situation? Discuss accordingly using experiences, movies or literature you have read or seen.
