Hello everyone, my last post is an essay. Today Alina, Natasha and me would like to present our new work!
«Frankenstein, or the modern Prometheus», is a novel by the English writer Mary Shelley, which was written in 1818. This work was her first creation. The book was written in the style of a Gothic novel. God forbid! A Gothic novel is a work based on the reader's pleasant sense of horror, a romantic «black novel» in prose with elements of supernatural «horror», mysterious adventures, science fiction and mysticism. One of the main and dominant themes in the novel is the theme of love. Love is one of the feelings that is given to many in life. We can say that this is a feeling that makes you kinder, purer, more perfect. Love has many faces. This is love-friendship, love-cooperation, love-passion, love-tragedy. In the novel, you can find answers, for example, to such questions as «How is love shown in the novel?», «Does every living being need love?», « What is the relationship between the main characters?» and so on. And the fact that will remain the same is that we all need love. Every living being is worthy of love, who should we love? The answer is simple — love those who are dear to you, those whom you call relatives, those who really deserve this feeling.
So everyone calls Frankenstein a monster, but is it really so in the book, the creation of Frankenstein is not so much a villain as a deeply tragic character. All the murders committed by him are not connected with the manifestation of animal cruelty or thoughtless thirst for blood. In some cases, he is forced to do this by circumstances. In the focus of Monster’s cruelty and non-humanity, there lies his hunger for a parental love. After he escapes from his creator, he first recognizes his own ugliness when he sees his reflection on the water and than gives meaning to people’s strange attitudes towards him when they see him. The awareness of their own worthlessness, ugliness and uselessness developed negative traits in the monster. He wanted to take revenge on his creator for the fact that no one loves him, that Victor disowned him, and for the fact that he is the only one in this world with his own peculiarity. The monster, through his actions, is repaying Frankenstein for what he has put him through. The monster did not ask to be created, he did not ask for any of what he suffered through. But when he asked for a friend, a girl who would be just like him. Frankenstein refused, he was again afraid of bad consequences after such a "union". It turns out that the monster is a child who is simply not needed by his parent. He could feel and reason, and that makes him human. The fault was in Victor Frankenstein, who could not teach the monster good deeds and did not give his creation bright feelings. Confound these people who drop their creations! And revenge and murder are not taught. That is why he is left to himself, decides to find a way out by himself. He saw happy families, perfect families, and he wanted just the same. And the best solution was to deprive the family of the one who created it. To make Frankenstein feel what it's like to be left without a family, without loved ones and relatives. But in the end, he failed, after the revenge, people do not know what to do next, as well as a monster who no longer sees the point of being in this world as an "alien". This love story shows that even monsters need their own people.
M.Shelly showed love in all its forms. After reading this work, the reader asks a lot of questions. And love is the key word in all of them. Should the monster's love for the world count? Or do such beings have no right to love and be loved? These are complex questions, the answer to which is not given. But love is affection, recognition, and compassion. Lack of love can have a detrimental effect on a person. Therefore, the end is what it should be. M.Shelley wrote a novel where the theme of love is a powerful weapon, but whether it will benefit or harm, everyone decides in their own way.
