The Uprising of Creature Creature, in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, grew angry with the way he was brought into this world without having family or friends to reach out to for guidance. He did not fit in with others and this had low self-esteem because he could not fit in with others. It wasn’t just Creature’s appearance, his attitude and the way he acted also did not allow him to fit in with everybody else. Creature was not brought here by natural birth, he is a creation, an evil creation. Creature may not be the reason for his acts of evil, maybe it’s the creator that caused him to act this way. Creature’s upbringing is an act of Victor’s violence. Creature …show more content…

Waldman, ignited in him an irrepressible desire to gain knowledge of the secret of life. Victor’s reference to himself in the third person illustrates his sense of fatalism—he is driven by his passion, unable to control it. Furthermore, the glorious, assertive quality of his statement foreshadows the fact that Victor’s passion will not be tempered by any consideration of the possible horrific consequences of his search for knowledge. Additionally, this declaration furthers the parallel between Walton’s spatial explorations and close to a human as he can and proceeds to do so” (Shelly 29). It is impossible to create something that is going to be the same exact thing as a human. There are so many things that are unique about us, that would make it difficult for someone to create. Appearance is not the only thing that makes you unique. How do you create feelings? There are just so many things that can possibly go wrong that Victor does not consider when he is thinking about how he is going to make this Creature. He envisions this Creature being a wonderful creation with no negative feelings, he envisions nothing but positives, and that is far from being
