Monologue From Frankenstein
Who will I be?

I wake up and smell the bitter scent of coffee in the kitchen
I feel my head on my fluffy pillow and the only thing I can think is: who will I be today?
I think about how we are just a speck compared to the rest of the universe
But I think about how the impact I can make can change history as we know it
I know I am special, I know I am loud, I know am outspoken, I know that I can change history
I hop out of bed like a hunter stalking its prey
I know I am ready to take on this day
This is my year
This is my time
This is my moment to show how this dark world is a place that means something
Yes, I know there is hatred
I know that there is terror
I know that we are unstable
But that is why I am here. I am here to combat that. To take …show more content…
I think about how I have done wrong
How I am wrong
How I am just a boy
A monster
A dark mysterious creature of the night
And suddenly I am sad
I am sad that I am not perfect
I am sad that I am not who I want to be
I quickly lose any optimism that I had before
I feel like my life is one big chain
A never ending dilemma
A wheel of stress that I seem to spin on over and over
And yet It is like I feel nothing
I feel numb and tense at the same time
Like I am wolf who eyes its pray but feels wrong killing another animal
I am a contradiction
I am like algebra in complexity and yet its like I don't even know the first step to step to solve my problem
Multiple levels with many equations just waiting for people to explain me because I can’t do it on my own
Because trust me I need help
I need someone to interpret me
To fix me
To balance out this complex equation I am and turn me into standard form
I am an equation with no solution
There is no way to help this monster I have become
Yes I am mean
I am angry
I am annoyed, infuriated and enraged
But I am still me
And even though there is an evil side to me I am still a

    Frankenstein Chapter 2 Dialectical Journal

    The coachman approached the side of the coach, opened the door and he peered inside the coach, "Okay lad come out. " Lucinda's level of fear intensified before being able to react as a result of sight of four riders in the distance, approaching the coach. One of the riders, she remembered was the man with the long beard covering his large unsightly scar. The coachman, "Leave the carriage or will I drag you out?" Staring directly into his eyes and drawing her knife: "I warn you, the best is that you will give up your plans, whatever that may be, you'll regret it if you would not."…

    Victor- (pg. 28) “Learn from me . . . how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow." Here Victor is warning Walton against following his example. This quote expresses the regrets Victor holds towards the knowledge he grasped and shows that he would have rather been naïve or less knowledgeable. It seems as though Victor believes ignorance is blissful thinking.…

    Frankenstein Dangerous Quotes

    The pursuit of knowledge is at the heart of Frankenstein, as Victor attempts to surge beyond accepted human limits and access the secret of life. Likewise, Robert Walton attempts to surpass previous human explorations by endeavoring to reach the North Pole. This ruthless pursuit of knowledge, of the light (see “Light and Fire”), proves dangerous, as Victor’s act of creation eventually results in the destruction of everyone dear to him, and Walton finds himself perilously trapped between sheets of ice. Whereas Victor’s obsessive hatred of the monster drives him to his death, Walton ultimately pulls back from his treacherous mission, having learned from Victor’s example how destructive the thirst for knowledge can be.…

    Frankenstein Monster Quotes

    Some people argue though that one does not need to have anything do do with ones creator like in this quote,"Man need no longer be in awe of his creator; he no longer even feel grateful for being created. He can turn his back on God with a good conscience and set about charting his own course, seeking out ways to remake an imperfectly created world, even to change his own nature for the better"(Hogsette). This quote talks about how in life now we don't need a God figure in one's life today. The monster though would disagree with this. The monster was left alone for his entire life and kept looking for something to make him happy and if his creator would have been in his life he would have known a lot more and would have made his life a lot…

    "Do you think, Victor," said he, "that I do not suffer also? No one could love a child more than I loved your brother" (tears came into his eyes as he spoke); "but is it not a duty to the survivors, that we should refrain from augmenting their unhappiness by an appearance of immoderate grief? It is also a duty owed to yourself; for excessive sorrow prevents improvement or enjoyment, or even the discharge of daily usefulness, without which no man is fit for society." (78)…

    Discussion of Frankenstein.

    Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is a Gothic novel that contains two genres, science fiction and Gothicism. The novel is a first person narrative that uses a framing technique, where a story is told within a story. Shelley gives the book a distinctive gothic mood tone by the use of her chosen setting which is dark and gloomy, by doing this it reflects the hideousness of the creature; the point of views helps towards the realism of the novel; and characterization able the reader to interact with the characters and feel sympathy or hatred towards each one. To entice the readers into her suspenseful novel Shelley uses foreshadowing. The narrative structure shows a wide range of perspectives rather than just one, by doing this it provides the reader with greater insight of the characters personalities. Symbolism and imagery evokes the readers’ emotions where sympathy is concerned. Shelley has entwined these techniques to produce a novel where the readers’ sympathy jumps from character to character and moral judgements are made due to the characters actions.…

    Frankenstein Essay

    In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, rain is used as a symbol to represent the washing away of Victor Frankenstein’s false beliefs. Thomas C. Foster explains in his book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor, that the weather in a story plays a significant role in the meanings of events and the moods of the characters in stories (Chapter 10: ‘It’s More than Just Rain or Snow’). He describes how “Weather is never just weather. It’s never just rain. And that goes for snow, sun, warmth, cold, and probably sleet.”…
