Frankenstein #4
Mae Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, creates such a diversity of action in the book. Within that diversity, a reoccurring action is that of death. Ultimately, it seems that the debates presented might have been a factor in Frankenstein finding the truth behind the mystery of life itself. This was reflected on te creation of Victor through the discovery of the life spark needed to bring one to life. It's a bit humerus that once Frankenstein successfully creates a life, he comes incredibly close to losing his own. As after doing just that, he comes to find his you gets brother has passed by means of murder. This chain of death and life seems to be a reoccurring theme and a factor in the motivation of Frankenstein's actions. He is willing to do what is necessary to help those around him even though he really does not hold their fate in his hands. His journey back seemed to be similar tithe beginning of the story mostly because of his physical and emotional wear and tear, but also by indication of the monster present, but afar, in this new enviornment. I find it I retesting that he is not quite sure at first if it really is the monster just as the shipmates were not sure as to what the creature was when they saw it. Another parrellel seem was the condition of the weather, funny how it is raining just as when te creature was produced. He finally identifies the monster by a flash of lightening an confirms it as, "The wretch, the filthy daemon to whom I had given life,"(50). This brought forth so many questions to mind. Had the creature who was so close killed Frankenstein's brother? Why didn't Frankenstein react with fear and flee the scene? Only time will tell the answers to these deep subjects.
