Female Frankenstein

In modern day films and shows the female Frankenstein (monster) was depicted as a beautiful female with a strip of silvery gray hair in her full jet black beehive hair style. In the book this is a contradiction of what the monster had asked for. He wanted a female who was just as hideous as he was. He wanted the female to be a mirror image of himself. Victor questioned her creation because he though what if he would be bringing damage to the entire human race. These creatures might create babies and that would be another generation of unwanted an discriminated human beings. Victor also wondered what if the female didn't like the male creature and didn't want to be kept from his society. She possibly could be attracted by the beautiful male form that men in his society represent. Why would modern day society turn the female into a figure of beauty instead of how Frankenstein wanted her to look. Could they have been trying to change the conception of what the monster stood for.

Frankenstien - A Quote

"The hour of my weakness is past, and the period of your power is arrived. Your threats cannot move me to do an act of wickedness; but they confirm me in a resolution of not creating you a companion in vice. Shall I, in cool blood, set loose upon the earth a daemon, whose delights is in death and Wretchedness. Begone! I am fir, and your words will only exasperate my rage."

Should I create another monster

In Volume 3, Chapter 3 Victor Frankenstein battles himself with the question should he create a female figure like the one he had created before. The setting takes place in his laboratory, the sun had already set and the moon was rising. This setting gives off a Gothic environment. Victor quotes
" Had I a right, for my own benefit, to inflict this curse upon everlasting generations? I had before been moved by the sophism's of the being I had created"

" I trembled, and my heart failed within me; when, on looking up, I saw, by the light of the moon, the daemon at the casement".

The words the other uses shows so many elements of Gothic literature in her work. A dark environment is created in this chapter by Frankenstein's thoughts and the presence of the creature.

" You Dont Know Jack "

I just recently watched a movie entitled " You Don't Know Jack" This movie is about a man who was known as a "Death Doctor". They called him this because he helped assist his patients with their suicide. In one of the scenes he is compared to Dr. Frankenstein. He explains to the listeners on a radio show that it is society who created the monster though it was Frankenstein who made the creature. This was a very interesting story because both victor and Jack are considered to be two men they have no respect for life in the eyes of the viewers. Jack feels that someone who suffers everyday of their life shouldnt be entitled to. Before he helps arrange ones suicide, he talks to them and makes sure they are the right candidate for the procedure. For example if you are labeled clinically depressed he would not help someone commit suicide; this is only for someone who has no other way out of a bad situation. Jack really things about his patients emotions unlike Victor he hardly considered his creations emotions as a human being.
