An Unexpected Life In life there is usually a cycle in the way things work. If we do one thing, we automatically get another. It could be something unplanned that could ultimately turn out to be bad for us or even good for us. This is known as cause and effect. This means that there is always something that will happen, which is the cause, and there will always be a consequence, which is the effect. In the book Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, there are many things that happen due to cause and effect. The way she explains these stories that were told to her is very interesting and in great detail. The story between Victor Frankenstein and his creation is unreal. Everyone thinks the monster's name was Frankenstein, but that wasn't the case. Frankenstein was the surname of his creator; the monster was never given a name. By continuing to read, readers will better understand the causes and effects on the creator and his creation. Victor's desire to understand the human body and how it worked led him to a creation of his own. “I was encouraged to hope that my current attempts at least laid the foundation for future success. Nor could I consider the magnitude and complexity of my plan as an argument for its impracticability” (43), Victor said. With these feelings he had obtained he began the process of creating his own human being. With all the work he put into it, he didn't sleep day or night and it drove him crazy. Once he realized that he had succeeded in creating a being, he discovered that he had created a monster or at least what he thought was a monster. Victor's constant need to work on the creature caused his body to begin to wear out. When this happened, Victor became... middle of paper... a short ceremony and then went to a cabin. Victor, believing that the monster meant he was coming to get him, told Elizabeth to get ready for bed, and then went to find the monster. Soon he heard a loud scream and realized that the monster was chasing his love and not him. Life can be strange and when a person thinks they are doing the right thing, it can ultimately end badly for them and perhaps everyone else involved. . Victor thought that if he forgot about his creation everything would be fine and the monster would disappear. What he really needed to do, though, was teach the monster himself about life and how to be good to people and do the right thing and maybe he would feel loved and not become violent. Life is all about the choices you make and how you handle the consequences. Every cause has an effect.
