Frankenstein


Human beings are self-contradictory creatures that can use agile minds to create something that is considered beneficial to oneself. However, then the head began to think about why he wanted to do this, and then he continued to judge himself and complain in his heart. Just as with Frankenstein, after a series of glory and struggle, he went to death.

What I feel most about this book is that when the monster reunited with its creator, he said that his nature is also kind and benevolent and that pain is what makes him a devil. Think about it, what made the monster that used to capture everything around with curiosity eyes become a killer? It is the environment in which it is located. Even if it has a kind heart, people can avoid, scream, and even add their fists as soon as they see their face; even if its original intention is to help the drowning girl, only a cold bullet is finally obtained. The indifference of the world stripped away its soft inner shell. It also thought about getting better, but Frankenstein feared that the tragedy would reappear against help and ruin its hopes.

The original intention of Frankenstein to create a monster was to save people from death, because his mother, a kind and lovely lady, died of scarlet fever. He revived the death, but he fell into endless grief and torture. I think that Frankenstein is a representative of human beings and he represents the self-contradictory.

It often happens that our ruthlessness and indifference will make us like Frankenstein. How dangerous it is! So why not take care of a caring heart? I think Mary Shelley may want to tell us to be kind to others while treating others. I hope that people can love each other and let all the “Frankenstein” be like the ending of the novel, and they can repent of their faults and take responsibility. Moreover, all the monsters will disappear into the frozen Arctic forever like the ending of the novel.

Men were always trying to use the dead to create life. They have the delusion to invade the realm of God and blaspheme the power of God. However, the final tragedy is made by themselves. It is the tragedy from the Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
