Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is the story of a man named Frankenstein who wants to understand the creation of life. He doesn't fail to understand it and actually applies what he knows to create his own creature. However, the problem is that his creature is not at all what he imagines, it is far too physically deformed to be accepted as a good creature. Frankenstein abandons him and the creature takes on his own life and mind, but discovers that no man will ever want to be by his side. As the story separates the characters, the two come together and that's when we can compare and contrast them. Thus, this story placing such opposite beings next to each other leaves room for their similarities, but also accentuates the way their natures influence their differences. Frankenstein has a weak mind for disaster; When the creature comes to life and later kills his friends and family, these disasters alter his mind. He falls into a "nervous fever" (38) when he first sees his creation and his shock weakens his mind. However, his friend Clerval “brought out the best feelings” (45) that he possessed before making his creation, such as mental clarity and inclusion in the human world, not isolated in his mind. Although Frankenstein has "frequent relapses", showing the deep horror he felt while looking at the distorted creature, he recovers and becomes normal again. However, as the creature itself carries away its loved ones, Frankenstein's situational mental dysfunction manifests and begins to manifest itself on his body as well: “[Elizabeth] greeted me with warm affection; yet, tears welled up in her eyes, as she saw my emaciated body and my feverish cheeks... The tranquility I now enjoyed did not last...... middle of paper ......ars. But his vengeance is far from having the same power as that of the creature, who prepares for an eternal battle between him and his creator. The creature seeks to be human but cannot escape the fact that not only is his appearance different, but his rage abilities and mental acuity are utterly inhuman, while Frankenstein is human and thus appears with his mental weakness and mental acuity. great need to understand the physical secrets of the world. keep him away from men. In truth, he does not aspire to men like the creature, and the creature does not aspire to understand anything other than men, the two are opposites because Frankenstein is so human and the creature is so inhuman. It's important to compare how they feel, but it all comes down to the mental, physical and emotional strength of these two, the creature ends up dominating it all..
