Baron: The Real Monster
Throughout the story the lay of the werewolf we can see the evil and corruption of the wife and how she lied. Yet, they called the baron the monster. The baron never did anything but turn into a bisclarvet and even at that everyone loved him. Therefore the baron was innocent and his wife was the real monster. The reason why the baron isn’t a monster is everyone loved him. The story says “In Brittany there dwelt a baron who was marvelously esteemed of all his fellows. He was a Stout knight, and a comely, and a man of office and repute. Right private was he to the mind of his lord, and dear to the counsel of his neighbours.” If he was a monster he shouldn’t be so loveable in everyone’s eyes. The baron had been transforming into a bisclarvet

    The desire for companionship grows so intensely within the non-human subspecies that the monster asks Victor Frankenstein for an outlandish favor: a female counterpart. Through a lover, the monster can display his inner love with a being that does not judge him. At the time when the monster acts for a love, he has yet to found any acceptance in the human society. Thus, a monster counterpart would provide the only outlet of affection for the monster. The monster’s wish for a partner exemplifies that the monster stereotype that literature and film have created are not as narrow as once thought. The desire for love can exist even in a non-human species, and love does not limit itself based on appearances or classifications. Victor Frankenstein, however, denies the monster a lover, believing that a race of monsters would spur from a second creation. The creature never indicates that he would terrorize the world if given a counterpart, and in fact would leave human society to spend him with his significant other (205). The monster’s hopes are benign, and Victor Frankenstein distorts and mystifies the monster’s intentions. Clearly, the monster in Frankenstein does not define itself through a series of checklists about “how to be a monster,” but rather breaks the boundaries of traditional monstrosities. This monster does not parade through the town trying to terrorize the people that it encounters; this…

    Monsters are unpredicted and are made at anytime. Monsters show different actions that can affect what society acts upon them. We can see that monsters can be unfairly labeled by examining “Of Mice and Men”, “Born of A Man and Woman”, and “Monster”. People will jump to conclusion when it comes to labeling other people as monsters, this is because of the characteristics of disorders that people cannot understand,and the looks or appearance on one self changes people’s opinions. Through examination and explaining the actions of the author's use of text from Steinbeck,Myers, and Matheson, we can understand that people will claim to be unfairly labeled as monsters.…

    The story is being told from the perspective of Frankenstein, and thus we can conclude that he may be biased and reflect this in the manner in which certain characters are portrayed. An example of this are the similarities in the features of William and the creature. William is described as ‘very tall of his age.’ This is considered to be a positive attribute, whereas the creature is described as ‘gigantic stature and the deformity of its aspect.’ This is a somewhat more negative description of height. Additionally, when William smiles, ‘two little dimples appear on each cheek which are rosy with health’ in contrast to the creature ‘a grin wrinkled his cheeks.’ Through Shelley’s use of imagery and language, the monster is portrayed negatively and as evil, compared to William’s purity and innocence, despite the similarities between the two characters. The difference in the way they are perceived by…

    In the book, people not only looked down upon Creature, they also labeled him as a monster. Creature isn’t born a monster, he is so innocent that to a point, he doesn’t realize why is he being labeled and judged. While sharing his tale with Victor, the Creature refers to his times in the village, “I remembered the treatment I had suffered the night before from the barbarous villagers… endeavouring to discover the motive which influenced their action.” (91). Victor and the society never gave Creature a chance, just because Creature didn’t meet their appearance standards, they announced him to be a monster. Creature’s first murder of Victor’s brother isn’t even intended. Creature is only curious to talk to William, but William yells out harsh judgmental words, and in the process of silencing the boy, Creature accidentally kills him. William would’ve been alive, if he hadn’t labeled and stated “monster! Ugly wretch! You wish to eat me and tear me to pieces,” (122). After this, the Creature goes on a killing spree, but only if the society hadn’t labeled him, the story would’ve been completely different. The Creature was tagged and blamed as a monster, and the society wouldn’t even give him a chance to prove himself, so he didn’t even bother trying to be good. If society hadn’t frustrated the Creature with all the misconceptions they created of him,and gave him one…

    Thomas Hobbes believes men are naturally evil and in this sense the monster was evil because he was made that way. This is illustrated in Hobbes quote, “there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no culture of the earth; navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is the worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short” (37). Despite the monsters misfortunes, such as killing all of Frankenstein’s loved ones, he…

    No longer were monsters a product of supernatural forces, monsters were created. Yet, in order for a monster to become a monster, it cannot exist in isolation. Relating my idea of the connection between knowledge and morality in the Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment period to the monster and his body in Frankenstein, I argue that society’s knowledge of the monster is formed in one of two ways; one, through scientific creation or two, through social construction. Now, it is through (1) physical features which differ drastically from others or (2) immoral actions that one becomes a monster in their own society. In part, “monsters” are products of their own environment. What makes the creature in Frankenstein a monster is that he is both a scientific creation and his physical features and his actions of murder deviate from society’s expectations. Throughout the novel Frankenstein’s creation is never given a real name. Instead, he is called; a “demoniacal corpse, wretch, daemon, devil, monster, ogre, the being and creature” (36, 68, 102, 164, 165). Besides not having a name, Frankenstein’s creature is also described using the term deformity and monster. After society’s constant negative response to his physical appearance, the creature himself…

    In Frankenstein, the role of the monster and human are subtly revered with Victor considered more monstrous than the creature he created. This is because first, Victor is portrayed monstrous than the creature because he abandons his creature instead of educating and friendly introducing him to the world, which is itself a monstrous act of irresponsibility. Secondly, Victor ought to know that the creature will likely harm others, but due to his selfishness he places his family and friends at great risk. Some might say that Victor is not monstrous and disagree with the fact that he only wants creature to be killed, because he agreed to the creature that he will make the female form of the creature to fulfill the creature’s need and for his family’s…

    When monsters are thought of a very distinct picture comes to mind. An ugly creature that is out for blood, born into a life where causing misery is his driving force. Do these features really define what a monster is; works of literature like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Shakespeare’s Othello tell quite a different story. Monsters are not born but made just as people are not born evil but can sometimes end up there. Othello and the Monster start of as good men looking to be part of society but were pushed out because of what others perceived them to be. This caused them to mentally and physically isolate themselves from everyone allowing hatred to take over. Iago and Frankenstein also helped to instill thoughts and emotions in these characters that ultimately changed their path from good to evil. Both the characters of Othello and the Monster transform into monstrous beings due to their desire to be accepted, isolation, and relationship with their antagonists.…

    The monster was rejected by society because of appearances, and that led the monster to harsh revenge measures. For instance, Victor demolished the only opportunity of the monster having a companion; therefore, the monster became resentful towards all mankind. The new being simply desired acquaintances to learn and have fun with, but the population denied him his only wish. The creature had all the correct reasons to take drastic measures in taking revenge. Accordingly, the reader can conclude that it is wrong to judge a person based on…
