A Summary Of The Weather Motifs In Frankenstein

Shelley could be suggesting that the creation of the monster should be judged harshly as it seems to be by nature, as well as Victor after the abandonment of the second monster, after which he as well as followed with and harmed by storms. The first instance of a storm in the novel after the pivotal creation of the monster is

The monster should not be held responsible for killing Victor's family members and friends, because it is Victor who has brought a dead creature back to life. He expects the monster to know everything when he but when the monster is awakened, he does not know anything. He sees a world that he does not know which makes him scared, and act out in a way that he feels is the only way, but it is not his fault. The monster is confused, lost and alone.

The monster causes by far the most damage in terms of their rivalry. He murders three of Victor's loved ones, and indirectly is the cause of two additional deaths. Victor only destroys the monster's mate. That is how it looks on paper. Many see Victor as the victim, while the monster is a force of relentless evil.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a gothic novel that tells the story of scientist, Victor Frankenstein, and his obsession with creating human life. This leads him to creating a gruesome monster made of body-parts stolen from grave yards, whom upon discovering his hideousness, the monster seeks revenge against his creator, causing Victor to regret the creation of his monster for the rest of his life. Shelley uses the literary elements of personification, imagery, and similes to give a vivid sense and visualization of Victor Frankenstein’s thoughts and feelings as well as to allow us to delve deeper into the monster’s actions and emotions. Throughout the novel, Shelley uses personification of various forces and objects to reflect the effect in Victor’s actions.

Frankenstein Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, is a novel that incorporates religious morals, scientific perspectives and political ideologies in a way that no other horror novel can. Whether it be paganist allusions reflecting morals from Paradise Lost; the cycle of the creator and the condemnations of his creation. Or the correlations with The Myth of Prometheus; the creator being punished for his creation. This remarkable piece intrudes the reader's mind with concepts like: alchemy, chemistry and electricity. The novel’s main character Victor decides to bring back the dead and create a creature of his own.

When Victor creates the creature he also abandons it. Once Frankenstein’s creature begins to murder off his family thus he begins’ to realize the importance of family. Caroline’s death contributes to Victor’s isolated nature.

Once noted, the parallels between Frankenstein’s fears and desires and the reality the monster experiences are many. Now that Victor is in university, he no longer has family and friends to fall back upon in the unknown territory of his university. Frankenstein voices is that “[he] believed [himself] totally unfitted for the company of strangers,” irrational as it may be, and believes himself solely dependent on his family and childhood friend for companionship. Without the love guaranteed to him by his family, Victor believes he is unfit to make companions by himself and destined to a life of loneliness. He places much importance on the fact that his father and Elizabeth love him and are concerned with his well-being.

After successfully creating the monster, Frankenstein is perplexed by what he has created. Due to the monster’s annoyance with Frankenstein, he acts back against Frankenstein mostly due to his lack of parenting and responsibility. Shelley’s novel strongly connects with the act of parenting. It is clear that Victor Frankenstein did not complete his role as a parent. Due to this, it further led the monster to misbehave and feel as if he does not have a purpose in life.

The impact of the weather scene is a way to indirectly relate to the murder of Victor’s young brother, William. The author, Shelley utilizes weather to convey the Victor’s emotional feelings about the murder of his bother William. Through imagery in the quote, Shelley is able to utilize words to describe the weather relating them to both the storm and what has happened to our protagonist. To me, the flashes of light illuminate the lake which is his brother. William’s illumination is the light of his life is soon quenched when the author describes the “pitchy darkness”

Frankenstein is a book written by Mary Shelley about a man named Victor Frankenstein and his life and how it came to be. He had created a monster and brought it to life by studying and learning natural philosophy. Mary Shelley brought the emotions forward from the main characters by the amount of detail she put into the book. Most of the detail was brought in by the suffering that happens throughout the book caused by Frankenstein’s monster. The monster in this story is a tragic figure that is the main cause of suffering that occurs to everyone.

According to the novel, is beauty important? In Frankenstein, I think that the important of this novel is not only a friendship but also beauty important to the soul of the characters. Every character including monster prefer beauty to ugliness. As the monster that looks ugly when he saw himself the first time he was afraid of himself.

For instance, when the author writes “The sun has set, and the moon was just rising over its recesses. ” (pg 155) Like how the bright sun sets and let the dark moon take over, Frankenstein loses his previous optimistic character and becomes evil as his anger builds on. The sunlight begins to fade as darkness empowers it, much like monster's realization about the world. Additionally, the author writes “Those watery eyes, that seemed almost the same colour as the dun-white socket in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.” (pg 57)

This much is true for Victor’s failure to take responsibility for not only teaching his creation about life but also failure to take responsibility for the actions of his creation. “Frankenstein! You belong then to my enemy… you shall be my first victim” (153). Victor’s knows that he is responsible for the death of William because he abandoned his creation and made the monster learn the hard way that he would not be accepted into society. But he has no choice but to let Justine take the fall for the death of his brother because he fears being seen as a madman.

I of the creature open, it's briefed hard and I convulsive motion agitated it's limbs.” Shelley uses phrases like “dull yellow eyes” to describe the creature that Victor had just created. She uses “breathed hard” and “a convulsive motion eat agitated its limbs.” Shelley is using imagery to describe the birth of this monster, which is very Romantic.

In Mary Shelley’s iconic gothic novel, Frankenstein, Romantic themes are strongly represented in order to propagandize Romanticism over the elements of knowledge and the Enlightenment. In her novel, Shelley uses gothic nature settings to foreshadow dark events that are about to happen in the novel. She also uses nature to intensify the effect that is brought during significant scenes, a strong example being, when Victor Frankenstein’s monster approaches him after a long period of time. Nature and its use to influence mood is one of the most paramount themes of both Frankenstein and Romanticism.
