Hello everyone: This blog is our assignment task and in this blog, I am answering some questions from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein.
Ans. Victor was not able to accept his dream experiment because Immediately after bringing the Monster to life, Frankenstein feels overwhelmed by the Monster’s ugliness, so he attempts to find relief by going to sleep in the next room, where he sleeps is plagued by nightmares. When he awakes to find the Monster standing over him, smiling, Frankenstein rushes from the room, terrified, ashamed, and regretful for creating the Monster. Frankenstein reflects, “Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space now became a hell to me, and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!” and he has created the monster Frankenstein become even more alienated from the people around him because he can't tell anyone about his creation. So, victor was not able to accept his dream experiment.
Q - 2, what made the creature a monster?
Ans. The monster is Victor Frankenstein’s creation, assembled from old body parts and strange chemicals, animated by a mysterious spark. He enters life eight feet tall and enormously strong but with the mind of a newborn. Abandoned by his creator and confused, he tries to integrate himself into society, only to be shunned universally. Looking in the mirror, he realizes his physical grotesqueness, an aspect of his persona that blinds society to his initially gentle, kind nature. The monster was equal to all human beings but yet he was not accepted by society only because of his look. And this, again and again, rejection also by his own creator frustrated the creature and the fire of revenge glowed inside him. Seeking revenge on his creator, he kills Victor’s younger brother. After Victor destroys his work on the female monster meant to ease the monster’s solitude, the monster murders Victor’s best friend and then his new wife.
While Victor feels unmitigated hatred for his creation, the monster shows that he is not a purely evil being. The monster’s eloquent narration of events (as provided by Victor) reveals his remarkable sensitivity and benevolence. He assists a group of poor peasants and saves a girl from drowning, but because of his outward appearance, he is rewarded only with beatings and disgust. Torn between vengefulness and compassion, the monster ends up lonely and tormented by remorse. When victor does not accept the creature, he was also rejected by society and every moment perhaps the creature felt again and again and again that is why his father does not accept him. And that's why he was rejected from society. However, society rejects him to see his look or he has also stolen some food on the street. This action of people towards the creature and hit him he prepared his mind to against that world. And this behaviour perhaps made him a monster.
Q - 3, .why society has rejected victor's idea of experiment and then the result of his experiment?
Ans: society had rejected victor's idea of experiment because it is breaking the canon of society. What victor was doing that is not acceptable by society and the law of nature, it was a time when electricity was newly invented. So people believed that they can do anything with electricity. Even they can create creature like monsters by combining different body parts and making them alive. But what victor created was terrible. He created a deformed and ugly monster. Which is quite unacceptable to society.
Q - 4, can appearance overpower reality?
Ans: No, appearance can not overpower reality. Because victor was looking well Educated, then even what he did was terrible. Whereas Monster, even though he had an ugly and deformed look, is innocent like a child. He was created by a monster what he asked while the narrative is amazing one should monster part of the story to get a deeper view of this.
Q- 5, Villain in Frankenstein.
Ans: perspectivism plays a vital role in deciding who is a true villain in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
Anyone who reads a novel on surface-level May says that Monster is a real villain. Because it is the monster who ruins the life of victor. Monster murders all the near and close around victor, so he is a villain.
But the beauty of literature is that even the monster's speech/ narrative is quite marvellous in the novel. When the narrative shifts to a monster at that time we realise that he is truly a pure soul. Victor is his father. He just demanded someone to live with and there is nothing wrong with so and then Monster is beaten by society, left alone by victor and whatnot. He pusses through an end number of miseries.
At this time we have to think that who is the true villain? It is victor whom we should blame. Because after all, he is responsible for everything.
