Frankenstein : Task Q&A

 This Blog-Post is a response as a task given by our professor Ma'am Yesha Bhatt.


Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly, mostly known as Mary Shelly as  the Gothic novelist, best known as the author of Gothic novel,Frankenstein-The Modern Prometheus (1818). She very famous for her feminist perspective. 


  • Here is some explanation of various questions. 

Que:1. Why Victor was not able to accept his dream experiment and its results?

                       

Victor was very hunger to get knowledge. He also had a kind of madness to create something who created by God. He wants to make the Human Being after the death. But when he saw the creature he couldn't accept him. Because of his Hideous looking! Whenever he saw the creature he had become unhealthy or suffered in some fever.While victor saw that, how his mother died and the pain which he and his family both were suffered. That incident played very important role in his life that why he forces himself to create a human being. In this GIF, this was an incident when his experiment was failed. But he never stops to try to make the creature. Although, victor must should accept the creature because he make him is his duty to take care of his self. But victor had not any consciousness because he only felt that this creature will harmful to me so he denied him to accept and he ignored him like he is nothing for him or like unknown for him.

Perhaps, his overloaded desire of getting knowledge made him unacceptable for creature.


Que.2.What made Creature a Monster?

As we see in the novel that creature is like a new born child. He is like a innocent or having some expectations towards his father victor. But as above I write victor ignored him and that's why creature become more hurt that why his father not choose me? Why he hate me? Because of my hideous look? Whenever he wanna to talk with his father or just go the near side of his father, victor became more afraid and go away from him. Victor couldn't try to talk with him when creature awake very first time. So this is how that creature make himself more cruel toward his father and one by one he killed Henry,William or Elizabeth. 


When victor not accept creature, he was also rejected by society and every moment perhaps creature felt again and again and again that why his father not accept him. And that's why he rejected from the society. However, society reject him to see his look or he also stolen some food at street.This action of people towards creature and hit him he prepared his mind to against those world.And this behavior perhaps made him a monster.


Que:3.Who decides what beauty is? Is it for real or Superficial?(Outer beauty v/s inner beauty)


Rabindranath Tagore 

Well, as we know that beauty doesn't matter to show that how is our inner-self. Beauty is just a medium of connection for each and every human being. Actually, every one's own perspective regarding to the beauty and those all individual opinion perhaps decide that what is beauty. But everyone's opinion doesn't same. As Tagore said that it is in very simply reality or it's the reality, that's why people should be accept this without any objections.


In the creature's case, cause of his hideous looking every people hated him, even if his father of creator also rejected him. Oh! there is one song is running in my mind....

ऐसा देखा नहीं खूबसुरत कोई जिस्म जैसे अजंता की मूरत कोई

जिस्म जैसे निगाहों पह जादू कोई जिस्म नगमा कोई जिस्म खुशबू कोई

जिस्म जैसे महकती हुई चाँदनी जिस्म जैसे मचलती हुई रागिनी

जिस्म जैसे किः खिलता हुआ इक चमन जिस्म जैसे की सूरज की पहली किरण 

जिस्म तरशा हुआ दिलकश ओ दिलनशीं संदाली संदाली मरमरी मरमरी

हुस्न ई जानां की तारीफ़ मुमकिन नहीं हुस्न ई जानां की तारीफ़ मुमकिन नहीं 

आफ़रीं आफ़रीं आफ़रीं आफ़रीं

तू भी देखे अगर तो कहे हमनशीं

आफ़रीं आफ़रीं आफ़रीं आफ़रीं

हुस्न ई जानां की तारीफ़ मुमकिन नहीं हुस्न ई जानां की तारीफ़ मुमकिन नहीं 

जाने कैसे बांधे तूने अखियों के डोर मन मेरा खिंचा चला आया तेरी ओर 

मेरे चेहरे के सुबह जुल्फों की शाम मेरा सब कुछ है पिया अब से तेरे नाम

नज़रों ने तेरी छुवा,तो है यह जादू हुआ होने लगी हूँ मैं हसीं ,आफ़रीं आफ़रीं आफ़रीं 

चेहरा इक फूल की तरह शादाब है चेहरा उस का है या कोई महताब है 

चेहरा जैसे ग़ज़ल चेहरा जान ग़ज़ल चेहरा जैसे कली चेहरा जैसे कँवल

चेहरा जैसे तसव्वुर भी तस्वीर भी चेहरा इक खाब भी चेहरा ताबीर भी 

चेहरा कोई अलिफ़ लैला की दास्ताँ चेहरा इक पल यकीं चेहरा इक पल गुमां

चेहरा जैसा के चेहरा कहीं भी नहीं माहरु माहरु महजबीं महजबीं

हुस्न ई जानां की तारीफ़ मुमकिन नहीं हुस्न ई जानां की तारीफ़ मुमकिन नहीं 

आफ़रीं आफ़रीं

आफ़रीं आफ़रीं तू भी देखे अगर तो कहे हमनशीं आफ़रीं आफ़रीं

Lyrics: Javed Akhtar


This song describes outer beauty. The words जिस्म,चेहरा,हुस्न   are many times used. That means the body or we can say physically appearance. In the novel, creature feel it every bit of hated by people. 


"I am alone and miserable only someone as ugly as I am could have me"-Monster said.


Que:4.Search for life – Victor – Robert – Creatur(Write your viewpoints)


Search for life Victor-Robert-Creatur. 

At the beginning of victor's life in the novel,Shelly try to throw light in victor's character during one conversation between him and his mother, is that,

"knowledge is power only through the god."-victor's mother said. 

whereas, victor denied this and continuous in his work."Victor" his name shows some dynamic achievement in his arms but here, we can see that victor achieved the grate success in his life or his dream is completed. So for victor, his search for life is create a human after the death or we can say he needed Immortal. In the Robert case it's the same thing happened with him, while victor realized that Robert is himself too passionate for his searching of life. They both have limitless desire to get knowledge and this desire ultimately covert to the searching for their life.   


At the central of this point, creatur is performed main role because his searching for life is continuously appeared from his born to death. His searching is to get some sympathy or love from the society. He never know that what is the searching for life which I'll go to.


Que:5. Who is suffering from Deformity in the novel?Which kind of deformity and disability is there?Who decides what deformity is? 

Well, this answer perhaps the opposition of question no.3. In the novel, obviously creature is suffering from deformity.For his hideous looking society,make him in deformation.The central thing is that creature's appearance. However, his disability is also performed by him. But he is an innocent or like a child so how can we judge him or say that he has disability? His father abandoned him and it's not his fault. Actually there is our a kind of mindset that we must judge the person rather than to being a human nature or helping nature towards the person.
