Is Frankenstein Human or Monster
"The greatest of us are those who are always misunderstood." A quote that always comes to mind when I see people in the world who are judged on physical appearance rather than the inside qualities that never manage to shine through. People who judge by the way one may look are harsh, crude and quick to judgement. Dr. Frankenstein's dream was to create life, no matter how he did it, life, to cheat death and create immortality. Dr. Frankenstein's creation is human in the sense that it holds emotions, has feelings, wants to learn as much as possible, and to feel loved. All these qualities are held by humans, however, through man's quick judgements based on the creature's physical abnormalities, it is cast out and thought of as being a monster. Hiding from human's, all that this creature wants is to be judged as a human rather than as a monster, it wants to be given a chance to prove itself.

From my earliest remembrance I had been as I then was in height and proportion. I had never yet seen a being resembling me, or who claimed any intercourse with me. What was I? The question again recurred, to be answered only with groans. Along with being around eight feet tall, it is evidently clear why anyone would run from this creature, just as the commoners of Roman Times ran from leper's, because of his abnormality people are scared of it. As if a father scorns his son when it is born, the emotions the child will soon learn are denial and rejection. Because of Dr. Frankenstein's cruel judgement to his creation, the creature will not fully understand why it is rejected from societies of any sort and will soon seek the truth behind why it was created. Rejection and denial are to emotions that are extremely hard to deal with. By being eight feet tall, not hav
