Close analysis of Volume II, chapter IV

Beschreibung

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 70.0 (1st class), University of Sheffield, course: English Literature, language: English, abstract: Frankenstein's creature attempts to integrate himself into society numerous times before he accepts that his physical defects and 'ugly' aesthetic appearance arouse fear in humanity; this separation from humanity forces him to discover alternative modes of integration. He "long[s]" to be part of civilisation yet he has been conditioned to recognise his dissemblance through victimisation. Therefore he "dares not" present himself to the cottagers, vowing to "discover the motives" behind individual relationships. In this essay I will argue that the Monster instinctively discovers the importance of language as well as the ability to manipulate language as a means of gaining companionship.
