The wolf not only has beautiful thoughts in this quotation but uses sensitive language attracted, lovely, delight. However ulterior on the puppet explains that rage grasped hold of him as he realised that he would never have it off her company. This explains that the tool is desperate to love someone, but because everyone tr feed ins him as if he is sub-human he is filled with fury, which is a ingrained human reaction. This is a reoccurring theme throughout the novel, and it becomes blatantly obvious that if humans treated him with respect and perceptiveness, the wight would have never caused desolation.The above quote is far from the only example of this reoccurring theme in the novel. When the creature studies the cottagers we realise that love and desire are an element of his soulality The more than I saw of them, the greater became my desire to claim their protection and kindness my heart yearned to be known and loved by these good-humored creatures to see their sweet l ooks directed towards me with affection was the utmost limit of my ambition. The creature clearly desperately craves for their admiration but when the cottagers encounter him, they scorn and beat him.It is clear that in this situation it is the cottagers who are the monster and the creature that is human, as the creature is reaching out for love and friendship, but the cottages dismiss him and beat him with malicious intent. At the time of the creation of this novel, a revolution was in progress in France. Throughout the novel thither is an underlying connection between its story and the French revolution that became apparent. In France the radical re bounce was cause a severe amount of controversy and violence.Some believed the reform to be a positive faecal matter as it would create a more democratic country, however there were others who believed that the reform would damage traditions and bind several workers redundant. Therefore, despite the reformists intentions being good , the result caused violence and destruction. This theme is paralleled in the novel as Frankenstein intend to defeat conclusion thus helping humanity however the consequences of his actions resulted in violence and destruction.Another correlation between the two is that Frankenstein playing God (as he is defeating death) threatens religion as it insinuates that humans have the mogul and not God, and in the revolution the Church was under threat as the reform deprived them of spring and encouraged liberal thinking. However the most important theme is the debate is it the reform that causes destruction and forlornness or is it peoples inability to take something different? Is it the creature that causes destruction and devastation or is it peoples inability to accept something different?I believe the answer to some(prenominal) of these questions is peoples inability to accept something different, because if people were not shocked of change then they would have accepted the rev olution and not created a reign of terror, and if people were not afraid of something alien and different then people would have treated the creature with some form of courtesy and consideration, thus avoiding infuriating the creature. Evidence from the text on this point is when a young son free of prejudice and discrimination is confronted by the creature monsterUgly wretch You wish to eat me, and tear me to pieces You are an ogre let me go, or I will tell my papa. The creature had already explained that he had no intentions to hurt or harm the boy, but because the creature is different and alien, he is directly associated with evil, and moldiness be avoided. bloody shame Shelley creates a variety of interesting points throughout the novel that we should except death and take solace in the fact that we will hopefully be reunited one day in heaven.Therefore we should not be saddened and try to control the natural process of life, but enjoy experience. Mary Shelley also warned t he reader about the dangers of unknown science, and that even an experiment designed to help humanity foot have disastrous consequences. However, the most inspiring point created was the connection between the French revolution and the novel. It subject the readers mind to the prejudice and discrimination that the human race evilly portray.Anything alien or different must be associated with evil, which is a fundamental flaw of society that is near impossible to eliminate. We are, as a race, super narrow minded. In the novel we failed to overlook the creatures repulsive behavior and treated him with eff contempt and disdain. This story illustrates the intolerant and callous society, and no matter how considerate and selfless a person is, we will still torment and ridicule them if they are in any way different to ourselves.Therefore, I disagree that the creature is a fiend as although he is cursed with a grotesque appearance that does not make him a monster, and although he commi tted several fiendish acts he is not accountable for this as it is merely a consequence of humans disgraceful behaviour, however as the creature endures feelings of both compassion and rage, as he can distinguish between good and evil, and as he desires more than the basic necessities of hunger, shelter and thirst, I believe that the creature must be described as essentially human.
