    ANALYSIS OF FRANKENSTEIN

    Growing up in a wealthy Geneva household, Victor passes a happy childhood in the


    company of Elizabeth Lavenza and Henry Clerval. At seventeen, he enters the University of
    Ingolstadt in Germany, where he is determined to discover the origin of life. He succeeds in
    animating a piecework human body, but he is horrified and flees from the creature that he has
    fashioned. Two years later, after he receives news that his brother William has been murdered,
    Victor sees the monster and intuitively knows him to be the murderer. Victor remains silent
    even though Justine Moritz is convicted of the crime and executed. Later, he meets the monster
    on Mt. Montanvert and listens to his story.

    Having found shelter in a hovel attached to a cottage inhabited by the DeLacey family,
    the monster learned to speak. When the DeLaceys took in Safie, an Arab woman whom they
    had known in wealthier and happier days in Paris, they taught her to read, and the monster
    followed the lessons along with her. He had Victor Frankenstein’s journal and so learned of his
    creator. He also read John Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667, 1674) and identified with Satan, who
    was rejected by his creator and who seeks revenge by making war on humanity. Rejected by
    the DeLaceys when he revealed himself to them, the monster decided to travel to Geneva to
    find his creator. He murdered William when the latter feared and rejected him.

    The monster explains to Victor that he is malicious only because he is isolated and
    miserable, and he persuades Victor to make him a mate. Victor goes to Scotland with Henry
    Clerval with this purpose in mind, only to destroy his half-finished female as the monster looks
    on. The monster retaliates by killing Clerval and by strangling Victor’s wife, Elizabeth, on their
    wedding night. Victor vows to pursue the creature relentlessly, as obsessed about killing him as
    he was about creating him. As his tale ends, the novel resumes its epistolary framework.

    Victor
    Walton relates the death of Victor Frankenstein. When he himself encounters the
    monster, he does not kill him as Victor requested but listens to the story from his perspective.
    The monster depicts himself as loving Victor and suffering deeply from remorse. He claims that
    he was created to be susceptible to love and sympathy and was wrenched apart when offered
    only misunderstanding, rejection, and violence. Promising to end his own life, the monster
    leaves Walton to ponder the meaning of the events that he has heard.

    If I would given a chance to become someone among the characters I’ll choose to
    become Victor Frankenstein, I can not blame him for what he has done, he just follow what he
    wants to achieve and he choose that decision

    Everyone are making mistakes even the almost perfect ones. Because You wouldn’t
    know that you made mistakes without experimenting and experiencing it. The best part that I
    think I could say for now, is you’ve become someone you didn't wish for.

    You’ve made your life worth it.

    I’ll become more regretful if I didn’t give a shot.

    I’m actually not a fan of horror and honestly while I was reading, I have no plan to
    continue it, if it weren’t for my grades because I don’t like horror even if you ask my friends
    family and all the people who knows me

    . But this story took all my attention and imagining all the things I’ve done This made
    me realize how hard to be an opposite in life, just go with the flow and make your feet move.

    Not everything is bad, you’ll get something worth it from it open your eyes and make
    your hands touch the world

    Thank you!
