A detailed Summary of Society Creating the monster in Merry Shelley's Frankestein

SOCIETY CREATING THE MONSTER IN MARRY SHELLEY'S FRANKESTEIN

Life Sucks through Frankestein point of view, Mary Shelly shows the values of companionship, fear, trust, and happiness. All of these values the creation wants of portrays, but due to society, he is unable to achieve them. The creation tries to understand these values throughout his life but can't because of the injustice he receives from the humans. Marry Shelly's point is that society and the system that society creates its what made the creation a "monster". The mistreatment of the creation from his first sign of life until the end of this novel, took gradually away the goodness in him leaving the loneliness and hatred dominant in his heart. Also what cause the creation to be bad is the mistreatment of his own creator, his on "father" Victor Frankestein, who made the assumption that the creation was bad directly by not giving him a chance.

When the creation finds his first home at the house of the De Laceys he understands humans better and tries to mimic them. While he stays here the creation watches avidly to learn how to act "human". The creation feels he can help them out and does so by doing odd jobs during the night. After the creation lives among th

Frankestein's intent was to create a being unlike any other, superior to all human life and so he picked the most perfect body parts and beauteous features, all to be pieced together in great anticipation. However, the results are horrific and irreversible. The creation is not accepted by society and ironically the first who does not accept him is his own creator, Victor Frankestein. Accusing Frankestein of bringing him into a world where he could never be accepted, the creation realizes his creator's faulty idealism. The creation was not accepted by society due to his ravenous looks and hideous ways, or even because of the simple fact that society fears what they do not understand, and they could not understand Frankestein. The creation was good at the beginning but than his pain for mistreatment and the lack of companionship made him angry. The creation could have fit in only if his creator was all the way on his side, so practically it was more Frankestein's fault than the whole society's fault. People like the rioters just needed somebody to explain this creature to them and assure them that nothing bad was going to happen to them because of this creature.

While living near the De Laceys the creation finds his first stable home. While living with the De Laceys he learns all about happiness, sadness and feelings of love. Happiness is the one virtue that is the most ironic because he only feels happy when the family does, but he never feels it for himself. When the creation meets the De Lacey family his first impression is that they are a suitable family that get by easily. Although when the creation lives with the family for a considerable amount of time he soon finds out of their troubles. While living there he finds out that the young boy works constantly and so does the sister. The creation feels that he can help out the boy and make him ecstatic by doing so. The creation wants to belong so much that he collects the wood for the family to see them happy. The first time he does this, "...the young woman, when she opened the door in the morning, appeared greatly astonished on seeing a great pile of wood on the outside. She uttered some words in a loud voice, and the youth joined her who also expressed surprise"(Shelley96). The creation doesn't want to show himself because he thinks that by not understanding him they may fear him, ironically that's exactly what happens. But this is also what makes the creation want to stay, seeing the happy expressions on the families faces.

e family for many years he decides that he will confront the family and tell them about his experiences while living there.
