Frankenstein - Movie Review

        "Frankenstein - Movie Review"

    Welcome readers! This blog is inspired by Yesha ma'am - Department of English, Bhavnagar university, Mkbu. In this particular blog I am going to discuss about a movie review on Frankenstein which is a part of our thinking activity. 


    " Frankenstein " Or " The modern Prometheus "  is an 1818 novel written by English Author -  ' Mary shelley. ' Frankenstein tells the story of  Victor Frankenstein, - a young scientists who creates a sapient creature. (sapient means - " Wise or attempting to  appear wise.) "

 He had done Scientific experiment. Mary shelley started writing the story when she was only 18 years. The first edition was published anonymously in London on 1st January, 1818. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in the year of 1821.

    In the year 1816, Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see that who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Mary shelley was inspired to write ' Frankenstein' after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by his own creation. 


 " Various Film Adaptations on Mary shelley 's Frankenstein ":-

  In an Age of Adaptations, we can say that there are so many film adaptations available on Mary shelley's classic genre Novel. Her gothic novel - " Frankenstein" is a story that constantly being retold. There are so many adaptations based on this novel in various languages. I am putting a small list of movies which are based on Mary shelley's novel. So that you can easily understand. 

 1.' Frankenstein'( 1931) 

2. 'Bride of Frankenstein' ( 1935)

3.' The curse of Frankenstein' ( 1957) 

4.' Flesh for Frankenstein' ( 1973)

5. 'Mary shelley's Frankenstein' ( 1994) 



     " Mary shelley 's Frankenstein " is a 1994 science fiction horror film directed by ' Kenneth Branagh. ' It is considered as the most faithful film adaptations of shelley's 1818 novel. Despite several differences and additions in plot from the novel, the film follows a medical student named - victor Frankenstein who creates a new life in the form of a monster composed of various corpses' body parts. 


    Cast in these Film :-

  • 'Robert De Niro as The creation'
  • 'Kenneth Branagh as victor Frankenstein'
  • 'Rory Jennings as young victor Frankenstein'
  • ' Tom Hulce as Henry clerval' - Best friend of Frankenstein
  • ' Helena Bonham Carter as Elizabeth Lavenza ' - Frankenstein's adoptive sister and fiancee
  • ' Hannah Taylor Gordon as young Elizabeth. '
  • ' Ian holm as Baron Alphonse Frankenstein' - Victor's elderly father. 
  • 'John cleese as professor waldman.'
' Trevyn McDowell as Justine Moritz'. 

  The film had its World premiere on November 3, 1994 at the London film festival. 

  
                   " Movie  Screening "
   
     On 1st August - Monday we had a movie Screening on Mary Shelley' s Frankenstein arranged by yesha Ma'am at Department of English. Here I am discussing about some important points which I have note down while watching the movie. 


    In the movie we can see that our Hero Or we can say protagonist - Victor Frankenstein was from geneva. As the movie goes on we came to know about his concept that - " No one should ever die. "
He developed that concept after the death of his mother. He wanted to do something different and that is why he preserved different body parts and was making one creature. Victor was doing all kinds of Experiments in the lab. 


    Elizabeth ( Victor Frankenstein' s adoptive sister & fiancee) comes to see him. After creating a creature, Victor felt very bad and guilty that what he had made because the creature's look was very much ugly and he himself became horrified on his own creation & became ill. 


     Elizabeth visited for second time to see Frankenstein. As Creature's look was ugly and awful Victor abandoned him very badly. So, he went to one old man's house. That old man was blind and that is why he cannot see the creature's appearance. But, when his grandchild came and he saw the creature's look he started to beat him very badly. The creature cried & felt bad upon this that he tried to help that family & still they were beating me. 

   After all this thing happened, Monster thought about taking revenge. First he killed william ( Victor's younger brother) and after that on the wedding night of Elizabeth & Victor Frankenstein he came and killed Elizabeth also. He told to Victor that; " She was very beautiful. " But Victor became angry and replied him that ; 
  
   " She was mine; not yours. '

   In Victor's Journal his last lines were -"My experiments are dead now. " When he died monster was crying sitting behind next to him. Because after all he was the creator. They both died in the last. 

   " Similarities between the novel & Movie :-"

  There are some similarities which we can observed in the novel and movie. They are given as below:-

  - In novel and movie, the entire story revolves around two main lives :- 1.Victor Frankenstein 2. Creature 

  - The monster kills innocent people without any concern of morality. 

   - In both the versions means Novel & film Victor Frankenstein wants to destroy the creature. 

   - In the same way Creature also wants to take revenge to dear ones of Frankenstein. 

   - Victor Frankenstein's health getting worse after creating the creature. 

   Particular scene Which I liked the most:-
            A scene which I liked the most from the entire movie is that when Victor Frankenstein died, Monster was crying sitting behind next to him. The reason for my liking that scene is because monster felt bad that his creator is dead now. Whatever happened but if we tried to look apart from that, we can understand that the creator of his life has gone now and there was no any reason for him to live. Victor Frankenstein abandoned him because of his ugly look, because of the fear of society. But still monster felt bad upon the death of his creator and he cried. They both died in the last. 



  So, we can conclude by saying that there are so many similarities as well as Differences between the novel & the movie. But Everyone should watch this movie at least once so that they can understand about so many aspects.

Critical - Creative Task

   Allegory - parody - "A Tale of Tub"

              " Critical - Creative  task"

                  " Thinking Activity"

Hello Everyone! Here, I am going to write down one another blog. This blog is about creative - critical thinking task in reference to " A tale of tub" by Jonathan Swift. This blog is inspired by Kavisha Ma'am. 

  As a part of this creative - critical thinking, Here I am going to present an essay on a controversial topic that we all are dealing with it in our present time. I tried my best to do in this task and also tried to put elements of Allegory & parody. 

      Topic :- " Boycott a Film "

We all are living in a trend where everyone is Boycotting a film. We are very much aware about this. Almost all new Bollywood releases are facing relentless social media campaigns calling for their boycott. Right now boycotting the film it's like becoming a trend. Everyone will take that matter so easily. But we have to think about this that why viewers are spending less on Bollywood films. The popular perception behind is that the industry is losing its connection with the current generation of movie watchers. 

    Currently, boycott trends are going on in a full swing against films like - Laal singh Chadha and Rakshabandhan. Boycott is scaring Bollywood. 



  We can compare this Boycott trend with a Boy's refusal to a girl for marriage that how can he say no without meeting a girl? Also people are continuously comparing Tom Hanks & Aamir khan.They don't like Aamir khan in compared to Tom Hanks. Everyone found Aamir khan's acting a bit over in his movie - Laal singh Chadha. But still there are some other reasons also for Boycotting a film. In a satirical way fans are saying that films are already not doing well and people have stopped watching films. So what's the need to boycott them in a separate way?

Mr. Darcy's character

       Question 3 : Discuss the character of Mr. Darcy ( Man with pride, male - ego) Reserved, Introvert, observer, silent lover, superiority complex and a true lover. 

Answer :   " Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy :-"

  Fitzwilliam Darcy Esquire, generally referred to as Mr. Darcy is one of the central character of the novel. He is also the protagonist of the novel. He is an archetype of the aloof romantic hero, and a romantic interest of Elizabeth bennet. 


  Now let's try to understand Mr. Darcy's character with the help of certain points. They are given as below. 

 1. The hero of the novel :-

  Mr. Darcy is the hero of the novel. He is twenty - seven, tall and handsome and of a stately appearance. Like Elizabeth he is one of the intricate characters of the novel. Mr. Darcy's character is like ;

  " Reserved, Fastidious and Introvert personality. "

  If we compare Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy we came to know that Bingley was sure of being liked by everyone wherever he appeared. Darcy was continuously giving offence. Mr. Darcy's exterior is certainly very grim. He looked so stern. He is truly the hero of the novel. The entire novel follows the character of Mr. Darcy, along with Elizabeth. 

  2. A Man with pride :-

     We can observe Mr. Darcy's character - "A Man with pride " From the moment he makes his appearance. He declined being introduced to any other lady in the ball party and he keeps quite most of the evening . He himself thinks that he is reserved. In one of the chapters in the novel, he said to Elizabeth that ;

   " I certainly have not the talent which some people possess of conversing easily with those whom I have never seen before.... "

  But we can not decline the fact that Mr. Darcy is a proud man. In third chapter of the novel, he refused to dance with Elizabeth by saying that;

   " She is tolerable ; but not handsome enough to tempt me. "

   In the novel, when Mr. Darcy makes his first proposal to Elizabeth, his tone is very proud and haughty. So, from these points we can understand the character of Mr. Darcy - a man with full pride. He also represents " Pride" Jane Austen's novel. 



3. Introvert personality of Mr. Darcy :-

   In pride and prejudice novel, Mr. Darcy 's personality is introvert. He doesn't like to talk with everyone. He also doesn't like social gatherings. His introversion in the novel is quite clear from the beginning of the novel. After the ball party where his reserve is evident - jane reports ;

   " Miss Bingley told me... that he never speaks much unless among his intimate acquaintance. "

  He also feel uncomfortable dancing with people. He does not have prior acquaintance  with his character like;

    " Socially awkward, arrogant and terrible at being romantic. "

  So, from all these points which we have discussed. We came to know that Mr. Darcy's personality is introvert. He can not easily mixup with everyone. 

   4. Mr. Darcy - A True Lover :-

   We can consider Mr. Darcy's character as a True lover. He is really a true lover. Elizabeth 's eyes features which attracts Darcy the most. He praised her. He also gald to see Jane and Elizabeth when they returned home after jane has recovered from her illness. Why he is glad to see her , because he loves Elizabeth. When lydia ran away with wickham at that time he also helped in finding them. 

  Mr. Darcy had done all this things for Elizabeth because he truly loves her. When he proposed her second time he said that... 

  " I would have to tell you that you have bewitched me body and soul and I love, and love... I love you.... "

  " I never wish to be parted from you from this day. "


So, we can say that In last they both realized their love for each other. and we can conclude that Mr. Darcy is a True lover. 

    5. His pride corrected by love :-

      Mr. Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth in this novel. It strikes him first of all, that her face is rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. He is also caught by her light and pleasing figure and the easy playfulness of her manners. He gets an opportunity to observe her closely at Netherfield where she has gone to nurse the ailing jane. Mr. Darcy impressed by her perspicacity, her intellectual sharpness and her sparkling but inoffensive wit. 

  In Elizabeth's angry refusal of his proposal that marks the beginning of the great change in him. We can see in the novel that after Lydia's elopement with Wickham, he saves the family from disgrace. and also helped them in finding Lydia. All this he does out of his true love for Elizabeth. So we can say that ;

    " Mr. Darcy's pride corrected by his love for Elizabeth. "

     In last I would like to conclude my answer by saying that Mr. Darcy exhibits all the good and bad qualities of the ideal English aristocrat - snobbish and arrogant. He is also completely honest and sure of himself. The entire novel presented the character development of Mr. Darcy. 

Elizabeth Bennett.

 " Major characters of pride and prejudice :- "

Question 2 : Discuss the character of Elizabeth Bennet. 

Answer :- Elizabeth Bennet is the protagonist in pride and prejudice novel. She is often referred to as Eliza or Lizzy by her family and friends. Elizabeth is the second child in a family of five daughters. Of all her ( means Jane Austen's heroines) she liked  Elizabeth most. She once wrote to her niece; 

  " I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate  those who do not like her at least I do not know. "

  Let's try to understand the character sketch of Elizabeth Bennet with certain points. 

 


 1. Headstrong women :-

    Miss Elizabeth Bennet's personality is expressed through out of the novel. She is an intelligent and headstrong flair. She is a very firm believer in independence as well as marrying for love, and that's reflects her intelligence. She is seen as a very different from her other sisters in the family. Elizabeth is the representation of " Prejudice "  in the novel. She is a strong character. She has her own desires. 

    When Mrs. Bennet pressures Lizzy to marry mr. Colins. She is not willing to compromise her morals. Her bond with her father is very strong. But she is obstinate and a headstrong women in jane Austen's novel. 

    " There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. "

  Through this quotation Jane Austen wants to convey about Elizabeth's obstinate and headstrong personality. 



   2. An Intricate  character :-

  Pride and prejudice novel represents an antithesis between ' Intricacy & simplicity'. Elizabeth Bennet is one of the intricate means complex character. She is profound and perspective. There is a good deal of intellectual complexity about her. When she is reject by Darcy for a dance at a ball party ; 

   " Her pride is mortified by his, and she gets prejudice against him. "

  She is percipient, hence subject to failures of perception and this is what accounts for the intricacy in her character. 

 3. Her physical charam :-

    Though Elizabeth Bennet is certainly not as beautiful as her sister jane, but still she is graceful and charming. There is something so elusive and Indefinable about her charm that it defines all analysis. Her beauty takes a little time to register, but she is the type of woman whom familiarity and not distance lends charm. Mr. Darcy does not concede her any appreciable beauty when he first meets her. He said ;

  " She is not handsome enough to tempt me. "

 4. Mature and honest :- 

    Elizabeth bennet is a mature and also an honest one. We can understand that In the ball party, except for jane and Elizabeth other three sisters behaved very weirdly. So we can say In that way Elizabeth is mature one. Maturity reflects in her character. Also she told very clearly what she felt. She judges things for herself and she is capable of decisive actions. She calmly and yet firmly expressed her opinions. She stands up to her mother mrs. Bennet over Mr. Collins proposal. So, this how she stands for herself. From all this points we came to know that she is the mature and honest one. 

  5. Her warm Heartedness:-

     Another quality of Elizabeth bennet to impress is her warm heartedness. The concern which she shows for her sister jane, during her stay at Netherfield, the way she walks all the way to Netherfield speaks well of her sister. She went there because she was concern about her sister. Also we can understand that she felt concerned at Mr. Bingley 's removal from the neighborhood. and also became genuinely very happy when jane is engaged to him. 

 So, from this points we can understand that Elizabeth bennet is a warm hearted woman. She loved her family and her sisters. 

    I would like to conclude my answer by saying that - Elizabeth Bennett is a lovable heroine indeed. Of all jane Austen's heroines, she impresses us and delights us the most. Elizabeth is smart, Lively and attractive. She prides herself on her ability to analyze other people and the entire novel describes the character development of -  " Elizabeth. "

   

Pride & Prejudice

" Thinking Activity "

Hello readers! Here, I am going to write down a blog on a very famous novel "pride and prejudice. "  In this particular blog I am answering some allotted questions on the basis of my understanding. This blog is inspired by Yesha Ma'am, The Department of English. 


  Before going through the question - answer, first let's have a brief introduction or overview about the Author and her novel.

   " Jane Austen :- "

        Jane Austen ( 1775 - 1817) was an English novelist, best known for her six major novels. Jane Austen started writing early when she was in her middle teens. Jane Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. She stood between the age of  " Sense and sensibility. " 


     'Jane Austen - novelist of the Romantic period.'

"About the novel :-" 

 " Pride and prejudice " - a popular and romantic novel written by Jane Austen. It was published in the year 1813. The entire novel follows the character development of ' Elizabeth Bennet'. This novel published anonymously in three volumes. It contains total 61 chapters.


     " Pride and prejudice " remains Jane Austen's most brilliant novel. The one with 
'' the most exciting story and the Wittiest and most spirited heroine.''

  Here I am placing one video about the summary & analysis of this novel. So, it will help you to understand my answers further. 

          

        " Watch this video for your better understanding. "

  Question 1 : Which version of the novel is more appealing? Novel or Film (adaptation ) why? 

    Answer :-  To understand this question, we have to first describe both the aspects that which one is more better ( Novel or Film adaptations) why? 

   It seems that books are better than movies. Of course, It depends a lot on who you ask because some may have another opinion for that. In fact everyone have their own point of view about this. Many people consider the fact that most of the people specially teenagers these days prefer to watch a movie rather than to read a book. 

       " Reading has incredible benefits. "

    It helps us in our mental development. It makes us better people. Now comparing a book Or novel with its movie adaptations is a different thing. Here I am going to give reference about the film adaptations of this novel.. Which are given below. 

1.  Pride & prejudice ( 1995) 

           " Pride and prejudice " Is a six episode 1995 British television Drama, adapted by Andrew Davies from jane Austen's 1813 novel of the same name. 


   2. Bride &  prejudice ( 2004) 

         A modern Adaptation of jane Austen's novel pride and prejudice that features the lives of four unmarried daughters in an Indian family. 


    3. Pride & prejudice ( 2005) 

         This is the adaptation that got all the hearts swooning and made Jane Austen popular with the younger crowd with amazing cinematography and music, along with the ever charming ' keira knightely' and  ' Matthew Macfayden. ' The tension and the hate / love relationship is brought out splendidly in the movie. 


  According to me , Novel is more appealing rather than movie. Because, the main reason behind that is movie only gave us an outlook view. While, reading gave us the entire view. we can get the better and detail explanation about everything, from reading. so my opinion is that first read an original text and than Watch a movie.but, if we only prefer to Watch a movie that's not done. First we have to read the original text. It always helped us in many ways, that What writer wants to tell us.

    After reading a novel you can go for a movie. So that you can compare both with each other . When a Director made films based on any particular novel, he / she do some kinds of changes in making a film. So we can compare and also tell this things to other people. I like to read an original text rather than gave first preference to watch a movie. 

 Question 2 : Character Of Elizabeth Bennett. 

Answer : As we all know that Elizabeth Bennett is one of the major & Important character of this novel.. I have made one seperate blog for this particular answer.. For that you have  to Click here

By clicking on that you can visit my another blog..and also you can get the detail answer of this question.. 


  Question 3 : Character of Mr. Darcy

 Answer : In Jane Austen's pride and prejudice Novel we can understand that Mr. Darcy & Ms. Elizabeth Bennett this two are the main characters of this novel.. They both are the major characters & protagonists of this novel.. For this question also I have made one seperate blog.. So you can easily understand about  both this characters... For that you have to Click here. By Clicking on this link you can visit my another blog and a full descriptive answer of Mr. Darcy's Character.


Question 4 :-  Give Illustrations of the society of that time. ( Jane Austen's presentation). 

  Answer :-  All of Jane Austen's novels are set against the background of daily life in English Georgian society at the turn of the 19th century. 


  In Jane Austen's novels all her characters are set. The novels of  Jane Austen describe their everyday lives, their joys and sorrows, as well as their loves, and provide in the process of an irreplaceable insight into the period. Her novels deals with such varied subjects as the historical context, the social hierarchies of thr time, the role, especially gender roles, marriage and well - off families. 

   Nevertheless, the point of view from which Jane Austen describes England is that of a woman of English gentry, belonging to a reasonably well - off family, well - connected and well - educated for the time. 

    " Fashion in Jane Austen's time:-"

      Like many fashion histories, this work emphasizes the clothing of the middling and upper classes, " Partly because the dress of the middle classes  reflects one of the most influential elements of British society at that time. " But also because jane Austen's life and works sit so neatly there. Upper class clothing has received a disproportionate amount of attention.


 It also concern the people who lived and worked with them, the aristocracy they looked up to, and the laborers supporting their life - styles. Jane Austen give us an excellent entree into the complexity and social implications of gentry clothing system of her time. 



    Question 5 : If you were director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of a movie? 

  Answer:-  If I were director or screenplay writer I would definitely make some kind of changes in movie. Like I omitted some of the scenes which I found very melo - dramatic. Because  everytime you don't like melodrama or any melodramatic scenes. 

  While reading a particular scene in the book, where to provide separation to Mr. Bingley and Jane, Mrs. Bennett ask her daughters to leave the room with her. But, Due to their curiosity they tried to listen the conversation behind the door. Now, In this particular scene the ' picturization' make us laugh, rather than ' narration. '


  Question 6 :-  Who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters? 

  Answer :-  I would choose :-

     Elizabeth  as   Aishwarya Rai bacchan

Mr. Darcy as  shahid kapoor

Mr. Bingley as   Tiger shroff

 Jane as  shraddha kapoor

 Mr. Collins as   Rajpal yadav

Mr. Wickham as   John Abraham


 Question 7 :- Write a note on a scene you liked the most. 

 Answer :- The particular scene from the movie which I liked the most is the ending scene. In which, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy both realized their love for each other. The reason that why I liked only that particular scene from the entire movie is that they both forget about their pride and prejudice and realized their love. This same thing happened with all of us in our life that suddenly we realized something that whatever we were doing was wrong and than try to correct it. So, we can say that;

   "Realization is a good thing. "

 


So, that's all I have to say about my favourite scene from the movie. 

  Question 8:- Compare the narrative strategy of novel and movie. 

Answer :- Novel :- " Pride & prejudice " Was written by British author jane Austen. The main character is Elizabeth Bennett and thr story follows Elizabeth and her family as they deal with issues such as marriage & social class. The Bennett family is out of the landed gentry, they have money but are not insanely rich. The novel is also a love story between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth's pride keeps her from seeing Mr. Darcy as anything except the negative first Impression. While Mr. Darcy's prejudice towards Elizabeth's lower class blinds him to her many good qualities. 

  Movie:- The 2005 movie starred keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden. The movie was filmed in England. Originally, the movie was going to be very true to the book. All the dialogues was kept the same and almost the entire movie was going to be from the perspective of Elizabeth. The movie was well received by critics. Austen fans and British viewers of the film had divided opinions. 

  Comparison:-  The movie has other differences than just the dialogue. The movie also portrays Mr. Bennett as a warmer, more sympathetic father than he is in the book. His relationship with his wife is much more loving in the movie. The novel ends with the marriage but the In the movie we can see the ending part as a intimate scene of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. So this is the way I compared the narrative style of novel and movie. 

  I hope that  my answers are useful to you.. 

  Thank you for Visiting...

Frankenstein - Question & Answers

 "Frankenstein - Question & Answers:-

  Hello Everyone! This blog is inspired by yesha ma'am - Department of English - Bhavnagar university, Mkbu. Here, In this particular blog I am going to discuss about some question - Answers on Mary shelley's novel - Frankenstein. Before going further first let us have a introduction about the Author. 


                  Mary shelley ( 1797- 1851) 

  Mary Wollstonecraft shelley was an English Novelist, a philosopher and an activist. She was born on  30th August 1797, in London, United Kingdom. Mary shelley was also interested in Feminism and she was raised by her father - william Godwin who was a political philosopher. 

 She married to percy Bysshe shelley - the romantic poet and philosopher. Mary shelley edited and promoted the works of her husband. 

  Mary shelley was famous for her science fiction novel - " Frankenstein " Or " The modern Prometheus. "

 Here, I am placing one video about summary & Analysis of this novel. So, it will help you to understand my question - answers in a better way. 


   

   Question 1 : Why victor was not able to accept his dream experiment and it's results? 

 Answer :- As a young man, victor's interests lie in science , chemistry and of the balance and contrasts between life and death. While, a university student Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with the idea of creating life out of inanimate objects and starts considering how to do so. Victor thought that he was doing a service to humanity by  creating a " New human." Victor 's only attention to the contrast between the living and the dead becomes an obsession. To study, he must experiment and to experiment he must collect samples upon which he practice. He looks at what causes life or deaths. He also stated that;

   " I saw how the worn inherited the wonders of the eye and brain. "

    Finally, Victor succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and new life. Now he is a creator of life. But, when Victor finished his experiment on creating a new human, he himself was horrified by what he has had made. Because the creature's look was very much ugly and awful. Victor thought that " What he had done? "

   We can say that only for this particular reason that the creature's outer look was horrific and ugly. and how society will react upon this? Victor was not able to accept his dream experiment and it's results. 

Question 2 :- What made creature a monster? 

Answer :- The monster is victor Frankenstein's creation, assembled from old body parts and strange chemicals, animated by a mysterious spark. He entered life with eight feet tall and enormously strong, huge and giant body but with the mind of a new born. When he looked himself in the mirror, he realized about his physical appearance. He was abandoned by his own creator. He was confused also. He tried his best to integrate himself  into the society. 


   But, Because of creature's awful appearance he faced rejection from everywhere. No one is ready to accept him. He was a kind and good nature person. But Only by looking it's deformity or outer appearance everyone used to beat him by saying that;  " Go Away! You are an uglier one. " So we can say that all these reasons and attitudes of victor Frankenstein and society played very vital role in made him a Monster. 


   Question 3:- Who is suffering from Deformity in the novel? Which kind of deformity and disability there? Who decides what deformity is? 

 Answer:- For answering this particular question first we have to understand that what is deformity and how society deals with it. 

     "A deformity is a major abnormality of an organism that makes a part of the body or function indifferently than how it is supposed to. "

  A person with deformity always feel that "WhY only I am like these? " Or " Why I am different from others? " They have so much pain inside them. But, still they have to deal with their problems. Our society in which we all are living often views the person who is disabled as "less than human beings. "  In our present Novel - Frankenstein the creature was suffering from Deformity. But, there is a different kind of disability which we all can observe. The creature has a grasp on language. Physical deformity present through the character of creature. 

 But, we can truly say that the real deformity is lying in the mindsets of the people. Everyone always judging others by looking only outer look, that's completely wrong. I am not saying that appearance doesn't matter. It matters. But, it is not like that outer appearance is everything. Society cannot judge all this. 

  Deformity is always bothers the person and wherever they go it is very much difficult for him / her. So what is more important is that we have to change our way of look. 

  Question 4 :- Who decides what beauty is? Is it for real Or superficial? ( outer beauty v/s inner beauty.)

 Answer :- Generally it is said that Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone will define beauty in their own way. But, I think that everyone should get a chance to decide for themselves that - " What beauty is? "

    Every person has their own different opinion on the word beauty and accordingly they will define it. Beauty standards are the socially constructed perfect model of physical appearance that if achieved by someone will qualify as  Beautiful. These standards are impossible to achieve by one person. They often ask for fair skin, slim and perfect body and many other things. If anyone with one less quality is constantly reminded of that lack of quality. It is true that we are judging people based on their physical appearance. 

   There are two different types of beauty. 

      1.Outer beauty   2. Inner beauty. 

  Inner beauty refers to the personality of a person including his / her mind and character. Whereas outer beauty simply refers to the looks of a person. But, I would like to share my views upon this that outer beauty is temporary and it fades away with the time. But what is more important is someone's inner beauty which includes - soul, knowledge, nature and heart that will stay forever. 


  One famous proverb that - " Never judge a book by looking it's cover only. "Like that ;

   " Never judge a person by looking it's outer appearance only. "

 Because In last someone's inner beauty will attract you more than outward appearance. 


Question 5 :- Real villain in Frankenstein novel. 

Answer :-If we look at first glance, the monster in Frankenstein is a symbol of evil, whose only desire is to ruin lives of other people. He has been called " A creature " that destroying many innocent lives. He can be viewed as antagonist of this novel. But, after the novel is looked at on different levels,We can understand that creature was not at all responsible for everything. 

  The real villian of Frankenstein is his creator - victor rather than we put blame on creature. Because he was responsible for whatever happened. First, he made creature and after that because of his hideous look he abandoned his creation. When victor created the creature, he didn't take responsibility for it. He left him alone. It is totally unfair that to bring something into the world and then not to teach it that how to survive in the world. 


So we can conclude by saying that victor was at fault. and he can considered as the real Or true villian in Mary Shelley 's novel - Frankenstein. 

 I hope that my answers are helpful to you.
