FRANKENSTEIN

Victor Frankenstein and the monsters seems to be different, but actually as the story proceed to the end there are some parallels between the two characters.

Introduction

It is a Gothic novel written by British and Mary Shelley published in 1818. Originally, the story was not a novel but a new one. This news was a sort of little "literary contest" that had thrown Mary and some of his friends one day of boredom. The girl then wrote the famous Frankenstein she had published in 1818. Moreover, "Frankenstein" in English does not comment like in French (Frankenchtein) ... it has pronounced as written. That said I have heard English teachers say these two ways, so I hardly know which is "fair" or at least advisable. The development of science and technology has operated in such a way that unbalanced the balance between human systems and natural systems. Contemporary scientists are no longer interested in exploring nature, but directed all their efforts to build a new artificial substitute for it. (Hunter, 1996).

The novel begins with a series of letters that Captain Walton to his sister Margaret address on his expedition to the North Pole. He meets in the middle of this isolated land a man apparently lost. He collects: This is Victor Frankenstein. (In brackets: this is not the monster that called "Frankenstein" (it has no name at all). Immediately, Walton became friends with this Frankenstein who is very ill and dying. He feels that this is a great man and has great admiration for him. Frankenstein does not understand it and decides to tell his story, so he sees where his accursed ambition led him: his loss. Thus, begins the second part of the novel: Victor tells his story, his childhood, depicts his family, school etc. ... He comes to this fatal moment when the desire, the terrible ambition to create life, human life, offered to him. Collecting pieces of corpses, Victor goes to work, not knowing that the beast that born under her fingers sow death all around Frankenstein. The monster comes alive and rejected by his creator because of his nightmarish ugliness. Indeed, the "monster" is large and consists of several pieces of bodies. Left alone, the monster meets one evening at the turn of a street of Victor's younger brother William, whom he kills and he steals his watch. Victor returns to Geneva that day to see her family sees the monster he created near the crime scene. There is no longer in doubt: it is HE who killed his brother instead of Justine Moritz, the servant of the house, which passed on the scene. She will be tried and executed. Victor is remorseful and feels terribly guilty without the monster he created; the innocent Justine and William are still alive. They look to avenge two deaths and the monster goes into the mountains until he finally found. (Hunter, 1996)
