Essay / the unknown. The complete lack of reasoning on Victor's part indirectly led to the death of his entire family. Prometheus and Victor ignored the thought process and assumed that their creations would be used for the imagined purpose and would have no unwanted consequences. Victor didn't think through all the possibilities and was more obsessed with his new knowledge of the secret of life than with the consequences of his future actions. Victor's chronic irresponsibility cost him everything, including his friends, his family, and the acquaintances he had worked so desperately for. Victor's complete lack of wisdom and foresight cost him everything. Even if he didn't think twice before bringing it to life, he could have at least considered his creation as his own. This means that if Victor, after bringing the creature to life, had thought of his creation as he would a son, the creation might never have become a monster. When the monster meets Victor later in the book, he explains that he was rejected by society, that his isolation and loneliness were the cause of his hatred and the reason for his heinous actions. The only reason the monster was upset was because he didn't have anyone who cared about him. He had no one to love, no one to love him, and the one person who was supposed to be there, to help and nurture and love him, Victor, refused that responsibility and abandoned his creation. If Victor had taken care of the monster and raised him as his own, his creation could have lived a good life, and all of his family and friends would not have died. Finally, the article “The Monster Lives: 200 Years of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.” by Rajesh Basiya wants to show the modern application of Victor's mistakes and how we should learn from them through in-depth examples and modern life questions about values. Rajesh explains that our penchant and race for technological development, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and bioengineering, leads us to create “monsters” that are beyond our control. Rajesh then poses an open question to readers: do we, as humans, have the power to create life? If so, should we do it without knowing the consequences first? Rajesh summarizes Victor's mistakes by asking: Are monsters created, or are monsters born? The “monster” simply wanted what all humans desire: incorporation and acceptance into society. He explains that the lack of these basic emotional needs based on his appearance alone has sparked outrage and hatred towards humanity. Rajesh finalizes this thought by pointing out that Mary Shelley seems to blame society for its irresponsibility and attitude towards human flaws. The monster was not born evil, he was born innocent and pure. Victor's mistake in abandoning his creation at such a young age caused a series of effects, including rage, sadness, confusion, and more. This caused the monster to seek revenge on its creator, resulting in the deaths of most of its family members. The monster was not happy with his life, he wanted more and a mate. A UCLA study suggests that a loving and caring parental figure may actually be able to change neural circuits in a child, which could influence health and happiness for the rest of their life. their life. The study also suggests that an abusive or neglectful parent could have the opposite effect. The monster was clearly neglected, which caused him to grow up with a certain morality. His creator's negligence made him mean to Victor, leading to his outburst of rage and murder. The guilt for the death of Victor's family cannot simply be blamed on the monster. 2023).
