The END

Well we have fiished the book! What did you think? I,personaly, thought it was great. It really shone into the deep depths of the human soul. It also showed us that there is always 2 sides to anything in life.
There are also many questions the book breings to the surface ,such as for me. Ones like does good and bad exist or are they nearly the preception of the individual in the situation? Who says what is right or wrong? Is there really such a thing as right or wrong? Or is it just a tool deviced to help man structure and orginize his life?

Secrets?!

As we pick up in the novel Victor is in the process of making the creature a mate. This process is wearing at victor in the sence that he is ponering if he is doing what is right. Do you think it is right, should the creature have a mate? But after a sly smile Victor immediatly stops his work. He then is soon visited by the monster. The Monster says"I shall be with you on your wedding night." These word haunt Victor. Renewing the anguish that the secret of his creation oringanlly put on him. Should victor have told someone of what he had done? If so who should he have told? (besides Caption Walton to whom the story is currently being told) Also have you ever had a secret? Did you tell anyone? Do you wish you had told someone?

The Creation, very misunderstood

As we have learned Frankenstein has given life to this inanimate object. And in turn set it free apon the world. I , personally, would like to pose the question should man have the ability to give and create life? And as we come to find out latter that the "monster" has killed William and indirectly killed Justine. Victor. blames himself and I think he should in part do so because the creature was never taught good from evil . So he did not know that it was wrong? But then the question is posed are we born with the internal direction to know right from wrong. As while as are we predestined to do good or evil. Or are we corrupted by the world and disinhibited? I also think that perhaps Frankenstein is to smart for his own good. To much knowledge is dangerous but so is to little. Like the scene with the creation and the fire.

The Spark

In chapter IV Starts of with Victor saying he has fully engulfed himself in Natural philosophy, especialy in chemistry searching for the sectrets of life. He copletely devotes himself to this. And during the process he becomes sick and woren out. in the process he descover the spark off life. He then descides that he is going to make a monster of gigantic preporsions. Victor dug into bone house and animals to find the parts for his monster. He then begins to stitch him together this creater . Then one night it comes to life...

Death and College

Ch III starts with Victor finding out that he out that Elizebath has Scarlet fever. Her aunt ,victor's mother, nursed Elizebath back to full health. But while doing this she her self caught the fever and deid. This delayed Frankenstein from leave for college in Ingolstadt. But he did leave shortly after leaving behind his family and Clerval. When he arrives in the town he is very happy. He goes to the University and mates two of his teachers. The first is M. Kempe who teals victor that he completely wasted his time reading the earler books of victor's choice. M. Krempe then gives Frankenstein a list off books to purchase and read. Later Victor meets M. Waldon who gave victor his last epiphony.

Epiphonies

In Chapter II we begin to learn of Victor's thirst for knowledge. As a child he would look around him in search for the science of life while his sister Elizabeth would look upon the world in a majestic, philosophical way. As time progress we learn that Their parents have had another child and so they choice to settle in their native land of Geneva with country house on the Eastern shore of the lake in belrive. As a child Victor was quite the introvert. He had only but one friend Henry Clerval. Victor said he had a Noble spirit. On a family trip when victor was 13 he came across a volume of works by Cornelius Agrippa. He then latter sought after Paracelsus and Albertus Magnus. This was his first "Epiphany".Then at the age of 15 Victor saw in a thunder storm lightning strike a tree.It was completely vaporized. Later on a scientist came out to the Frankenstein house. He is the one who gave Victor his second Epiphany.

The earliy years of the Frankenstien house hold

The caption Walton befriend Victor . Watching over him and nursing him back to health. Over this time period they become friends. They speak to each other of there longings. And one final day Victor says "Unhappy man! Do you share my madness? Have you drunk also of the intoxicating draught? hear me, - let me reveal my tale, and you will dash the cup from your lips!" (p 12T). Victor begins his story with his father and his family history. Who by birth was a genevese who are those from Geneva, Switzerland. Victor's father was a promitable member in the city but later in life sought out his friend Beaufort , who earlier became poor. By the time Alphonse, Victor's father, reached Beaufort he was dead. leaving a orphanned daughter. Alphonse protects her and takes her in , and 2 yrs. later they married. We are told they loved each other. They traveld through Europe. Then when time came they had a child. A son named Victor. He remauned their only child for many years until the adopted Elizabeth Lavenza, also an orphan. Victor took her as his own. Victor said," No word, no expression could body forth the kind of relationship in which she stood to me - my more than sister, since till death she was to be only mine." (p 18 T).

The Yearning letters of Robert Walton

Robert Walton longs for the unknown North Pole.

Through out the letters he speaks of either Great success or atrocious* failure. As he writes to his sister we learn that he not very well educated ,yet he reads and seeks for knowledge of the sea to no end. As he makes his way north from Russia , which was under the rule of Tsars, to the Artic they see a "Sub-human" traveling by way of dog-sled. Shortly after their ship is completely encased in ice , and unable to move. This does not last long for just about midnight the ice was broken by a ground sea. They did not start back on their journey for fear that they can not see the ice sheets. Victor ,or as we know him at this point the stranger, was rescued the next day from an ice sheet.it is said that he was after the other sled, whom I believe is Victors monster.
