A Look Into A Creatures Morals


I will be writing about Frankenstein’s monsters’ behavior and how he was impacted by the world around him when he was created. I will also touch briefly on how the book is Gothic.

In the beginning when Victor Frankenstein had created his monster I think that Victor did not realize what he was in for because of his actions to come. When Victor had run away after giving life to his creation I believe this had started a very negative mindset or thought into the creature. Whenever someone runs away from someone that has been brought into the world, that creature or human has a very hard time adapting to its surroundings and making decisions that are good. However, we read that when the monster left, had no vile intentions to harm or kill anyone. He even traveled alone and found a family that was very important to him and he had watched them through a crack in a cottage and quietly learned how to write and understand how to speak and act like a human.

Now even though the monster had taken it upon himself to better himself by learning and attempt to be kind to others like the blind man in the De Lacey family, not everyone liked the monster because of his look, size, and appearance. So, because of this, many people had pushed him away and for example when he was with the older man and the monster and him gained trust and learned about love, friendship and loyalty, it ended soon afterwards. When the other younger family came back and saw the creature they drove him out the house with violence.

Now you can imagine what this does to the creature who was only trying to help himself and trying to be kind to be kind to others. So, when later in the book he gets revenge on the family and Victor people think that the creature is cruel and not kind. Well I say otherwise because of all turmoil the creature went through. When people can’t accept someone and understand what they go through before understanding someone’s life then the monster only knows to hurt others when they treat him like a monster and want to hurt him. It all comes down to “Treat others how you want to be treated!”

The book shows Gothic characteristics because of the all the dark moments in the book and the atmosphere of the castle, woods, and attire of the era. Even the place that the monster was created is dark and has a lot of metal and contraptions to create the monster.

The Night Circus

The Night Circus Play In this play we see that there is love which is forbidden but also favored. These are the main points through the play. It all starts out with Celia and Marco who are tied in love and they have a challenge ahead of themselves. However there is a always a struggle to maintain that love throughout the play due to the both of them having to concentrating and not breaking the rules. So we see that there is a pattern between the two main characters in terms of love because they both want to be in love but the competitions and rules are keeping them from doing that. So towards the end it is sort of like Romeo and Juliet where they both attempt to die together but with their spells they die together to live as spirts eternally. There is a spiritual challenge here and that is when the two characters do there best to be in love but through sneaky way. Along with moral issues, they both seem not abide to the circus’ rules and do whatever they please wh

Annihilation

Annihilation Something I think is weird about this film is the atmosphere for sure and the DNA that the dome has inside of it. What I mean by this is how the landscape is inside the dome where the volunteers go into to see what’s wrong. It is extremely colorful and has shapes and forms that are very unique. They form around the existing earth structure but eat away at it and forms its own nature. What I think is incredible is how the book talks in great detail about the color of the forms of the new landscape. This is the moss that covers everything. It has incredible neon colors that are so abstract to even imagine but very intense! The patterns that it creates and everything that it keeps inside of it is kind of gross but at the same time beautiful. It’s crazy because the new form that it creates is absolutely beautiful and very intrigue. The other crazy thing I think is weird is that this moss takes on the DNA of humans, and other living objects and kills it to

Akata Witch

Akata Witch In the beginning we see that there is a young girl who finds out she is a witch with the help of others. In terms of archetypes, I do think that this book resembles quite a bit of Harry Potter attributes. Such as the young girl having needing help to find out she is a witch other and in Harry Potter is also different from everyone else and Hogwarts help him get into the magic world. Sonny also builds some great friends while she is finding out who she is and what she is going to do with her magic. The same thing goes for Harry Potter he undergoes a ton of challenges finding out what his mission his and who he really is. In a culture of recognizing the need for female empowerment, Akata could have some ties with this idea in our day and age. With her struggle to find out how to use her powers to her best advantage and for others, the same is for women today.
