Essay "Frankenstein"

Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus is a well-known novel written by the great writer Mary Shelley. This work develops important and strong themes which one make people react. In some cases, such themes are a reflection of Shelley’s life and in others, she only want to appeal the common sense of people.

One of the first themes you can find within the novel is “monstrosity”. Not only because the core of the story is about a monster, was the way it created though. Firstly, Frankenstein is a man created by mixing different body parts from other corpses. Secondly, the monster has a horrible appearance because of his creation and thirdly his bad behavior, which one obeys to the rejection, he suffers from society. Besides this, the characteristics of monstrosity also reached the creator of Frankenstein. A mad and selfish, scientific that in order to accomplish his goals is able to go beyond the natural limits of life.

The ambition to get the first knowledge, to find the unknown was also a developed topic in the story. The immeasurable hope to create something new what was carried out victor to do a deep research and transgress the limits of acceptance. In fact, Victor was not the only one who wanted to be the first in a specific area. For example, Waltson wanted to overpass the expedition that until that moment people have done it in the North Pole. However, for both characters (Victor and Waltson) that hopes for “the first knowledge” turned into dangerous. Frankenstein started to kill Victor’s family, friends and relatives. Moreover, in the Expedition of Waltson, he ended lost between the ice sheets of the North Pole.

Mystery is also in the novel since Victor gave life to Frankenstein, he decided to keep him jealously hide for two reasons. Firstly, to avoid his creation could be investigated and copied by other Scientifics of the moment. Secondly, because of his ugly or grotesque appearance. A man with more than 5 feet of high, full of stitches and scars and with a violent behavior are characteristics that need to be carefully guarded.

In conclusion, in the Novel of Frankenstein the reader can identify some important themes, which ones fly smoothly in the complete literary work. Such of them are Mystery, knowledge (to find the unknown) and monstrosity. They show you the life of a created man, who has as purpose to go with his creator to everywhere.

The story shows you the sorrow of a monster, which is rejected by society because of his grotesque physical appearance. However, the novel left you a teaching of life. Not to discriminate people because of the differences you can have. In addition, not always the discovery of the unknown means something good. Sometimes it can shift dangerously against you and you pass from being the first in discover or innovate something new to be the first victim of this discovery you have made.

brainstorming

One of the first important themes that you can find within the novel is monstrosity. Not only because the core of the story is about a monster, the way how it was created though, so all he involves is an entirely atrocity. A human created by mixing different body parts from other corpses. Moreover, the characteristics of monstrosity also reached the creator of Frankenstein, victor, and a mad scientific that in order to accomplish his goals is able to go beyond the natural limits.

Secondly, the ambition to get the knowledge, the immeasurable hopes to create something new carried out victor to transgress the limits of acceptance. However, this knowledge turn into a dangerous tool, by the time Frankenstein started to kill his family, relatives and friends. So, his creation that could bring him a new way to spend time with turned into a destructive machine.

Mystery also plays a very important role in the Novel. Since he gave life to Frankenstein to keep in hide him to avoid his creation could be copied by others Scientifics of the time. However, it was not the only reason why he decided to maintain Frankie out of people’s sight. His ugly or grotesque physical appearance also was what influence victor’s decision. A man with more than 5 feet of high, full of stitches and scars is not a pleasant image for us.

Going further in the novel. it also necessary to point out the mayor symbol of the novel. This power of enlightenment or light represents the knowledge. The novel depicted victor as a concentrated and able to go to anywhere in terms to make his investigation true or bring out with tangible examples. Victor is depicted as a man who has been working hardly in the darkness when finally he came up or sees the light with his great invention, Frankenstein.

it's missing the intr, conclusion and more ideas.

Spender...

In the two poems, the first image that comes to your mind is the destruction that war made. How it desolated the city, the damages that it provoked within the families and to the people who had to participate in it. I think that the writer depicted very well, in both pieces of writing, the consequences that it brought. Despite the pity meaning of the words, it is good because it makes you react and think that this is not the proper way to solve conflicts between people. I believe that the two poems is a good way to took conscious about problems and the incorrect decisions that sometimes people made. Moreover, most of the time, it only brings to people sorrow and unhappiness.

"Virginia Woolf"

A room of one owns written by Virginia Wolf is a very interesting piece of writing. Moreover, it depicted very well the women’s situation in those days. However, there is a point in which one I do not agree with her, and it is the fact that she wrote from the point of view of a women who belonged to the upper class. Probably my comment is not understandable at all but I will clear it. I think that she could take the fact that women were delegated to the housechores and to take care of children and family before to ask why women did not write or were not dedicated to other fields. probably she had all the time that she wanted because she had not anything to do. But women’s situation were the opposite to hers. Their future were not in writing and by the time the society wanted them as the houskeeper, they were not aware of other things. Their awareness were focus on the house. People speak so easily about others. Neverthenless, they say what they see and to live and see are quite different. Even though she was very good depicting the women’s problem, I believe she should go beyond the comments and to live like a women from a low or a working class.

Corrected posts!!!

"The Waste Land"

When we did the activity base on to look at the picture and connect it to one of the titles of the story of “wasteland”, the first headline that came to my mind was “The Burial of the Death”। I have always seen and experimented that people when want to forget something, they through it away (metaphorically) Where do they things go? The picture is the answer. The photograph is full of rubbish, for me! Nevertheless, for a person who this garbage belonged to, that is the death of a memory that probably hurt them much and which one they do not want to continuous living. Papers are the symbols of remembers. The image shows us the cemetery but this time not of death people. This is a cemetery where things that are truly important such as time, love, pace, etc are buried and they were left behind by the time people decided to get into this city and live like a robot and forgetting that they are part of human kind and not of a Factory.

"The odour of chrysanthemums"

To understand the story of Elizabeth, it is necessary to realize the damage that alcohol does within a family. The fact to see the love of your life being destroyed, it is something very difficult to live with. Probably this is the reason why she felt her husband like a strange in her life. He was the responsible of destroy the dreams that she had in a time. However, the hopes come to her in the moment of his husband's dead. there she see the beautifulness of life again, a reasonable thought, having in mind that this drunk man was the obstacle and the heavy bag that she has to carry every day. The thing is how do not feel the same as Elizabeth when you are living with a man that he only does is to bring sadness and pity?
