Theme of loneliness and rejection

Theme of loneliness and rejectionThe Consequences of Societys Rejection in Frankenstein by Marry ShelleyFrankenstein is Marry Shelleys masterpiece, written when she was scarcely 18 years old. The novel explores of theme of loneliness and rejection. The monster created by master copy Frankenstein is rejected by human society because of his appearance. Mary Shelley explores the feelings of creature totally do by and abused by the society. The novel became a reflection of the inner state of Mary Shelly. It reflects sufferings and looses of the author. As nones Anthony Badalamenti in his article wherefore did Mary Shelley Write Frankenstein She was also the product of her own past, suffering three successive losses in her early life that reveal why themes of being alone(predicate) and abandoned candidacy through the novel(Badalamenti, 431). All these sad events and constant feeling of loneliness helped Mary to create a very deep and powerful character.Victor does non think abou t possible results of his experiments. He does not think what will happen when he in the end succeeds and created a living creature. He is severely penalise by his attitude when the creature created by him turns to monster. The author illustrates that the guilt for murders can not be put only on Frankensteins creation. Society and social norms finally result in feeling of loneliness and estrangement. The monster complains that his maker and mankind are moving his nature from goodness and benevolence to wrath and violence. He strains the union of men and is rejected with horror, fear and abuse (Badalamenti, 432).Victor Frankenstein is driven by his ambition when he creates his monster. He does not think about the consequences but rather makes experiments One of the phenomena which had peculiarly attracted my attention was the structure of the human frame, and, indeed, any animal endued with life (Shelley, 46). Victor does not think about the feelings of the creature he produces. He is concerned only with scientific tools which give him control and power. Frankenstein so beautifully explores the consequences of living and working in isolation. After cloistering himself to bring dead flesh to life, Victor Frankenstein condemns his creature to loneliness. The creature does the same to him in revenge. Solitude makes monsters of both (Thomas). Victor creates a monster but he doest not understand true moment of his actions.Loneliness and alienation is one of the main themes of the novel. It is notable that all main characters of the novel experience feelings of loneliness and alienation. The colossus, Victor and Walton experience these feelings. Victor Frankenstein, does not control good dealings with his family. He does not keep in touch with his father and sister despite they really want to have good relations with him. The author describes in great detail good relations in Victors family and their desire to keep in touch with Victor. Despite this fact Vic tor does not make any attempt to support any relations with his family. He dedicates all time and effort to science but it does not bring him luxuriant moral satisfaction. Victor can not take note the way out for his negative feelings and uses since and experiment as a way to entertain himself and to get loose of loneliness. The author uses the old theme of Faust when the search for technical progress and scientific advances results in the loss of humanity. Victor does not possess feeling of passion and compassion. The Monster notes for several times that he wants to find these feelings in his condition but constantly fails. He compares himself to other people who deserve love and understanding of God, who created them, and states that his creator has abandoned him Sometimes I allowed my thoughts, unchecked by reason, to ramble in the fields of Paradise, and dared to fancy amiable and lovely creatures sympathizing with my feelings and cheering my gloom their angelic countenance s disenfranchised smiles of consolation. But it was all a dream no Eve soothed my sorrows nor shared my thoughts I was alone. I remembered Adams supplication to his Creator. But where was mine? He had abandoned me, andin the tartness of my heart I cursed him. (Shelley, 111) Sad irony that the monster is not deprived of human feelings in contrast to his creator. The monster feels loneliness and alienation. It seeks for understanding and love but can not find a living creature which would share its feelings.Physical appearance becomes the main barrier for the creature. It does not allow it to pee-pee normal relations in the society. People do not make any attempts to find out about the inner world of the Monster subsequently they saw how it looks. The creature readers works by Goethe and Milton and feels even more lonely and frustrated. The more it finds out about the world around, the more it hates it. Cursed, cursed creator why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extingu ish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed? I know not despair had not yet taken possession of me my feelings were those of rage and revenge. I could with pleasure have destroyed the cottage and its inhabitantsand have glutted myself with their shrieks and misery. (Shelley, 98). Feeling of alienation and loneliness only grows with the flow of time. Victor, the creator, turns off from the thing he has created He doest not want to take response for his actions and he rejects the thought that the creature may feel pang and other negative emotions same like other people do. Victor can not come in terms with his emotional side. He dies alone and looses all his dear people.The theme of social rejection is one of the main themes of the novel. The author shows the consequences of social opinion. The creature created by Victor turns to monster because it can not find understanding and compassion in the society. People do not give the creature any chances only because it l ooks terrible to them. In her novel, Mary made an attempt to express her own frustration and to turn attention of people to the theme of social deprivation and rejection. She was recording instead her reflections and feelingsher grief, her loneliness, her thoughts of the future, her wish to die (Nitchie, 49). Mary knows what she compile about since she had to pass many personal hardships and looses. She wants her readers to understand the feelings of creature which knows no compassion or understanding. The monster was created by Victor only physically. In candor it was crated by the society. Indifferent attitude and disgust finally resulted in the birth of real monster which threatens its creator and society.Works CitedShelley, Mary Wollstonecraft.
