Being different


“Frankenstein” has a lot to reflect on. I personally focus my attention on the character Frankenstein junior. He was the creation of Victor Frankenstein, who was obsesses with the creation of life. After the creation of Frankenstein, Victor was afraid and regretted because of what he had done. He left Frankenstein alone, without any family or friends who can take care of him.


Rejection, hate, discrimination, frustration are just some of the words that come into mi mind when I think about Frankenstein Jr. He was so lonely, so scared, so frustrated, but he decided to fight against destiny anyways. He wanted to be part of the society, he wanted to be human, and he did everything he could to achieve that. He learnt how to speak and read, because he needed to communicate his feelings and thoughts. Most of the time Frankenstein was trying to be someone normal. He wanted to be accepted the way he was and the way he looked like.


In my personal opinion Frankenstein can not be treated as an “it”, he was one of us. In every house, in every office and in every classroom we will find a “Frankenstein” and it will be our decision to accept him/her or to leave him/her a side.

Great reflection!!!
how do feel about the combination of contrasts that Mary Shelley does such as: death, birth, loneliness, fears, creation, destruction?



Take care,
