The 19th Century's Horror Story
Frankenstein, the modern Prometheus, has been recognized as one of the best works by Mary Shelley. The originality of the novel of a man creating life has not only brought wonder but also horror to the minds today as these creature wrecks havoc and murders several people in the anger of his life. However, what was the cause of Victor Frankenstein's creature's rage that leads him to become a monster? The creature was the creation, given birth by the famous idea of galvanism. His birth was unlike any other, not from any human but through electricity.
Yet, the creature holds many engimatic mysteries about how the creature became the monster at the end of the book. Did all the pain and misery he recieved from the exile of his own creator and the reactions to everyone's sight to him transforms him into the hatred person. Or was he like this for the moment he was born, having these emotions broiled into his own being? Even though he was not blood, could he himself inherited the traits of his creator, one that has his narcissism and impassive nature passed onto him, or did the treatment from his master and others teach him how to behave?
All those questions lead into what has been the question over the couple centuries since the book had been written - the Nature vs. Nuture of Frankenstein.
