Whoever we ask, people say that they don't care the
appearance, they just care people's character and heart. But the truth is generally
people care the appearance when they see a new person. Frankenstein who was
written by Mary Shelley was a person who made people feel uncomfortable.
Frankenstein who referred to his creator's name was known as a monster by most
of people. Accually, he was a sample of people's isolation. In comparison with
his being monster, fears, incomprehenson and differences in people's mind made
him a victim. Biases affected people's feeling about Frankenstein. He was a
victim of society's isolation and fears.
When
we count the reasons which make Frankenstein a victim was his appearence. He
had a ugly face and a very big and horroble body. Society didn't accept
him, they isolated him from people. Because they was afraid of his monster
appearence, they couldn't trust on him. People usully feel a fear to humans who
are different for them. Generally different people's first imprassions are
curiosity or fear. Because of Frankenstein's monster body, this feeling became
a big fear. People didn't want to know him, they didn't want to accept him,
because this fear didn't let them do that. In this context, Frankenstein's bad
appearence made people moved him away.
Even
though Frankenstein had a monster body, oddly, his heart was so lovely and he
needed people's love and interest. In his heart, he was not a monster, he just
feel like a child who needs mother's love. Like every children who are left by
their family, Frankenstein didn't understand the people's behaviors to him.
Creator of Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein, didn't want to take care of him,
because after created him he realized Frankenstein was not a normal person.
After seeing him, he was afraid of him, and he escaped. He didn't want to
concede that he generated a monster. He got his monster away, while
Frankenstein was waiting just some love from him. Also because of people's
fears for him, he was all alone. This loneliness made Frankenstein more cruel
and made him more isolated.
Frankenstein's another difference which made him a victim of being a
monster was that his body that was never fall ill. Victor Frankenstein intended
to create a perfect body without any ilness. By this way, wanted to find an immortal life. This
facility made Frankenstein more different from people and made him more far them
away. In a world that people didn't want to face with him, Frankenstein had to
live forever. Those differences drifted Frankenstein become a monster and
victim.
Mary
Shelley's main reason of writing this character was to feel an experience of
being God and creating a human. Mary Shelley lived many big problems in her
life such as her mother's dying. She wanted to ask to God about this problems.
She queried her life's meaning to God. In the book scientist Victor
Frankenstein wanted to be a God of person and manage his life. Through this
book Mary Shelley showed the results of this wish to us and to herself. In her
pen, Frankenstein character became a pathetic monster.
On the
whole, Frankenstein was a victim of people's biases. A horroble appearence,
people's fear's, cruel differences between him and society made him a victim
who could live a lovely life. After Frankenstein just remained a pathetic story
of a monster and victim.
