1)Who decides what beauty is? Is it for real or Superficial?
What do i think is that Everybody is beautiful in their own way, some in the way they do talk and impress the people by talking , some by face , intelligence etc. We all are humans and we all have our own point of view. We should respect all the human beings and should not see the beauty . Some people win the heart by impressing by their looks or the way they do talk.
“Everyone is beautiful,” a mother often tells her child, but the moral and meaning of this sentence is compromised when that same mother sitting amongst her friends comments about someone’s height being too short or colour being too dark.
Beauty standards are the socially constructed perfect model of physical appearance that if achieved by someone will qualify as “beautiful”. These standards are impossible to achieve by one person. They often ask for fair skin, slim and fit body, perfect hair, flawless skin; and anyone with one less quality is constantly reminded of that lack of quality. Although we claim that we do not judge people based on their physical appearance, racism still exists; it still lingers in our countries and is nowhere near to becoming extinct.
We say in Gujarati that if you don't have the beauty of the body, it will work, but the beauty of the mind must be there.No matter how good a person looks, but if his speech is not respectful towards people, everyone will hate him.
2) Search for life Victor - Creature - Robert
Victor :-
The creator of the monster, Victor spends most of the novel trying to defeat the monster. Victor is the oldest son of Alphonse and Caroline Beaufort Frankenstein. Victor's childhood is a good one. His doting parents lavish him with attention. He even receives a present, in the form of Elizabeth Lavenza, from his parents. Caroline Beaufort Frankenstein's last wish before dying is for Victor and Elizabeth to be happily married.
He later attends the University of Ingolstadt, where his interest in the teachings of the physical sciences prompt him to study them while there. He seeks to combine the best of old and new science to create a new being. Victor becomes obsessed with the idea of creating the human form and acts upon it. Immediately after creating the monster, Victor falls into a depression and fear. He leaves the university and returns home to his family, only to find tragedy there. Convinced his youngest brother's murderer is his creation, he sets off to find the creature.
Victor is a modern scientist unleashed upon an unsuspecting society. Not fully aware of the consequences of his creating a new race of humans, he spends his entire life trying to destroy the same creation. Victor is also the unbridled ego who must satisfy his urge to know all and use that learning to create a new race of man. His excesses ultimately destroy him. Victor represents the id, the part of the psyche that is governed by the instinctive impulses of sex or aggression.
Robert:-
The Robert is created by Victor Frankenstein while at the University of Ingolstadt."Formed into a hideous and gigantic creature," the monster faces rejection and fear from his creator and society. The Robert is the worst kind of scientific experiment gone awry. He does acquire humane characteristics, even compassion for his "adopted" family, the De Lacey's, but he still murders for revenge. The creature also begins to learn about himself and gains general knowledge through the books he reads and the conversations he hears from the De Lacey's.
The Robert represents the conscience created by Victor, the ego of Victor's personality — the psyche which experiences the external world, or reality, through the senses, that organizes the thought processes rationally, and that governs action. It mediates between the impulses of the id, the demands of the environment, and the standards of the superego.
3) Why Victor was not able to accept his dream experiment and its results??
Victor Frankenstein claimed to be creating his monster for the betterment of humankind, it's more likely that he did so out of arrogance, or out of a desire to become like God.
As a young man, Victor's interests lie in science, chemistry, and of the balance and contrasts between life and death. While a university student, Victor becomes obsessed with the idea of creating life out of inanimate objects and starts considering how to do so. Victor thought he was doing a service to humanity by creating a "new human."
At one point, Victor says, "A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. I might in process of time (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption." This quote shows insight into Victor's motivation: he wants to figure out how to cheat death, and he had allowed himself to be overcome by ego. If successful, Victor would be revered by the creature(s) he creates and his creations would make Victor a human god, or so he thought.
Of course, after stitching together various parts of human corpses to create his new being, Victor succeeds in reanimating the dead, but is immediately repulsed by his creation and its "ugliness." Victor falls into a deep depression and shuns his creation, perhaps because now that he's conquered death, his replacement as God is complete. Victor is similar to Goethe's Faust character who went on a quest for knowledge, made a deal with the devil, and is rescued by God. Unfortunately, Victor does not have the benefit of divine intervention. Unlike Faust, Victor knows he will not be saved and instead will perish without redemption.
4) What made Creature a Monster ??
The monster is Victor Frankenstein’s creation, assembled from old body parts and strange chemicals, animated by a mysterious spark. He enters life eight feet tall and enormously strong but with the mind of a newborn. Abandoned by his creator and confused, he tries to integrate himself into society, only to be shunned universally. Looking in the mirror, he realises his physical grotesqueness, an aspect of his persona that blinds society to his initially gentle, kind nature. Seeking revenge on his creator, he kills Victor’s younger brother. After Victor destroys his work on the female monster meant to ease the monster’s solitude, the monster murders Victor’s best friend and then his new wife.
While Victor feels unmitigated hatred for his creation, the monster shows that he is not a purely evil being. The monster’s eloquent narration of events (as provided by Victor) reveals his remarkable sensitivity and benevolence. He assists a group of poor peasants and saves a girl from drowning, but because of his outward appearance, he is rewarded only with beatings and disgust. Torn between vengefulness and compassion, the monster ends up lonely and tormented by remorse. Even the death of his creator-turned-would-be-destroyer offers only bittersweet relief: joy because Victor has caused him so much suffering, sadness because Victor is the only person with whom he has had any sort of relationship.
5) Villain in 'Frankenstein'.
At first glance, the monster’s character in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein raises no doubt. Victor’s creature is called “daemon” or “fiend” throughout the book and has a respective appearance. Even his maker mentions feeling
“breathless horror and disgust”
upon seeing the result of his efforts. The creature first kills Victor’s younger brother William and then his innocent bride Elizabeth. However, this being is just a product of his creator. The maker’s arrogance and selfishness made all the tragedies possible.
Victor, the creature’s originator, was a man of profound scientific knowledge but poor moral background. Living in isolation, he wanted to take God’s role and create a human being that would love him. Victor collected a pile of bones and muscles and gave it life. Then, he saw the awful creature that appeared and realized it was too much for him to handle. Victor did not want to kill him or to bring him up like a father. He abandoned the creature without taking responsibility for his actions.
Victor refused to take charge of the creature and fix his reckless deeds. He became the one to blame for the consequences. The beast accused his maker of detesting and despising him. Victor deprived him of any childhood care, a family, and a person he would love. This made the monster an evil character. Thus, Victor is the true monster in Frankenstein and the real villain to blame for all the innocent deaths.
Thank youuu !!!!
