Frankenstein

It has been questioned by people,
honored by people and revered since the beginning of time.
Yet even today not one person can say what is morally right.
It is a matter of opinion. It was Dr. Victor Frankenstein's
opinion that it was alright to create a "monster".
Frankenstein's creation needed a companion. Knowing that
his first creation was evil should the doctor make a second?
With the knowledge at hand, to Dr. Frankenstein, it is not at
all morally correct to bring another monster into the world.
Looking at this probelm with his family in mind, the doctor
begins his work on the second monster. The first monster
threatened Frankenstein and even his family. The monster
angrily said to Frankenstein, "I can make you so wretched."
(pg. 162) Trying to scare Frankenstein for not creating his
mate the monster resorted to threats. If the good doctor
does create a companion for his first creation he may be
endangering others. "The miserable monster whom I had

keep their promise and stay in Europe envoking fear into
townfolk. The good doctor, trying to act morally, destroys
the monster for the good of the world. The monsters can
potentially take over whatever they please. "A race of devils
would be propegated,"(pg. 163) thinks Frankenstein to
himself in his study. The monsters, if powerful enough, could
possibly take over Europe. Frankenstein realizes that he can
not possibly doom the world to benefit himself. "Shall I, in
coold blood, set loose upon the earth a daemon.."(pg. 162)
argues Frankenstein with his creation. It is not morally right
for one person to unleash such a terror on the world to
benefit only himself and his family. Frankenstein will not let
any example change his ...
