Second Post

The book is great, I am about 150 pages in and plan to finish it, but would appreciate some help on your part.

I have to write an essay based on one of three topics regarding the aspects of the story.

Topic #1:
Was Victor Frankenstein a victim? Also, consider these questions:
---Why did frankenstein create the creature?
---At what points, if any, could the scientist have prevented the deaths of his friends?
---Could Victor have been a better "parent" to the creature?
---What, if anything, does Victor's advice to the captain show that Victor has learned?
Use specific examples from the novel to defend your answers, including direct quotes from the text.

Topic #2:
Was the creature evil? Consider these questions:
---Why did the creature kill his victim in each case?
---Did he feel remorse?
---Why did he want a female?
---Why did he head North, at the end?
Use specific examples from the novel to defend your answers, including direct quotes from the text.

Topic #3:
Trace the theme of corruption throughout the book.
---Who is corrupted?
---How?
---What is Mary Shelley saying about our society?
---How is she commenting on the impact of scientific discovery?
Use specific examples from the novel to defend your answers, including direct quotes from the text.

i choose to write about topic number two.

no i believe that the creature was not evil, throughout the story the creature demonstrates good characteristics( ie. helping those poor people gather wood, and stopping eating there food, giving victor an alotted time to complete a woman)the monster only killed his victims when provoked, there was no random slaughter of hundreds of people just cause. he wanted a female so he would have a partner in life and not be alone for eternity, all people quest for someone to share their life with. the monster headed north at the end so he would not do harm to others. its been like a year since i read this and it is all from memory, sorry for know direct quotes, hope it helped a lil

Yes, number two is easiest to write out of the three.
