Frenkestain by Mary Shelley


     This blog is crafted in response to Megha ma'am. This task is given by her. This blog is about the Frenkestain.


Major differences between the movie and the novel Frankenstein?


  In the movie Frankenstein, when Elizabeth dies, Victor Frankenstein cuts off her head and attaches it to another female body, creating a new female monster out of Elizabeth. However, in the novel Frankenstein, Victor does not create a female monster from Elizabeth. This is the first difference between the movie and the novel Frankenstein.

     The second difference between the movie and the novel Frankenstein is another scene. In the movie, Victor dies before he confessing to Captain Walton. After his death, the monster sets fire to Victor's body, and at that moment, the ice melts, causing both the monster and Victor to burn. However, in the novel, after Victor dies, the monster jumps into the ocean and dies.

    So, these are some differences between the movie and the novel Frankenstein.



Who do you think is a real monster?



   I think that in the novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is the real monster. First, because he created the monster and did not take care of him. He only had one thing in his mind that he had created a human-like monster. He succeeded in making the monster, but he forgot to give the monster any knowledge. When the monster was created, he wasn't a monster; he tried to help people, but they didn’t accept him. Because of that, he became a monster. Victor also failed to explain to the monster why he made him. So, according to me, Victor is the real monster.



 Do you think the search for knowledge is dangerous and destructive?


    The search for knowledge can be both good and bad, depending on how it’s used.

   In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein’s search for knowledge leads to trouble. He wants to learn how to create life, but he doesn’t think about the problems this could cause. His actions bring pain to himself and others. The story shows that if you seek knowledge without thinking about the risks, it can be dangerous.

     At the same time, learning and knowledge are important for making life better and understanding the world. If people are careful and think about how their knowledge will affect others, it can lead to good things.

    So, the search for knowledge isn’t bad, but it can become dangerous if people don’t use it wisely.



Do you think Victor Frankenstein's creature was inherently evil, or did society's rejection and mistreatment turn him into a monster?


    Victor Frankenstein's creature was not born evil; it became a monster because of how society treated it. At first, the creature was innocent and just wanted to be accepted and loved.

     But when people saw him, they were scared and rejected him. They hurt him and ran away, which made him angry and sad. Because of this mistreatment, he started to act out and do terrible things.

    So, instead of being evil from the beginning, the creature's actions were a response to the way he was treated. This shows that how we treat others can really shape who they become. If people had been kind and understanding, the creature might have turned out differently.


Should there be limits on scientific exploration? If so, what should those limits be?


     Yes, there should be limits on scientific exploration to keep it safe and fair. Scientists should protect people and animals, think about the environment, and avoid harmful experiments. Safety rules are important to prevent accidents. They should also consider how their work affects society and be honest about their findings. Lastly, they should respect different cultures. Limits help ensure that science is safe and benefits everyone.


Conclusion :-

   In Frankenstein, the novel and movies differ in character portrayal and endings, with Victor Frankenstein often seen as the real monster for abandoning his creature. The search for knowledge can be dangerous, as shown by Victor's mistakes. The creature is not evil by nature; society's treatment shapes his behavior. Therefore, there should be limits on scientific exploration to keep it safe and fair, protecting people and animals while respecting the environment and different cultures.


Thank you...!!
