For my English essay I will answer the question I decided to answer and discuss the quote 'Frankenstein is above all a fantasy and an analysis of birth: the birth of children, of technology and the works of art themselves”. In my essay I will discuss this quote and also discuss my ideas. Frankenstein is a fantasy written by Mary Shelly when she was only 18 years old. It's a fantasy about what would happen when science and greed came together to create a man. It is told through the eyes and diary of a man called Robert Walton. Frankenstein begins with Captain Robert Walton's letters to his sister. These letters form the structure of the story in which Walton tells his sister the story of Victor Frankenstein and his monster as Frankenstein told it to him. Robert was exploring the north pool when he met Doctor Frankenstein and the monster, the doctor told Robert the story. . He told him how he grew up and how he brought his creation to physical perfection, so much so, in fact, that as soon as the monster awoke Frankenstein began a path of fear from which he would never be able to escape. Frankenstein ran away because he was so terrified of what he had done. He also told him about the many harsh encounters the monster had with humans, which scared him. This also shows the childish qualities of the monster, his fear. The monster also learned to speak and became polite. His attempt to befriend a family failed when they rejected him due to his appearance and this led him to seek revenge against his creator. The monster even killed a boy who was Doctor Frankenstein's brother to take revenge on his creator, making the doctor guilty of creating such a murderous monster. The monster approached the doctor and forced him to create a woman for him, but in the end The moment the doctor changed his mind, the monster caused chaos on the day of the doctor's ceremony. The monster killed the doctor's bride, which forced the doctor to chase the monster and that's how they ended up in the north pool. The doctor died and the monster eventually expressed remorse and went to the north pool to destroy himself. The monster was a work of art, the doctor actually managed to play God and create life and life is a work of art.
