  2. Who is the real Monster? Theme of Monstrosity in Frankenstein Carol Tonsing Group 1 Period 2

  3. The theme of monstrosity... Victor creates: “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body” (Shelley 19). Does he begin with a ‘monstrous’ idea? This dabbles in the pursuit of forbidden knowledge so does that make Victor a so-called monster from the start? Is that a quality that helps to define monstrosity in the novel? Justine tells Elizabeth: “The God of Heaven forgive me! Ever since I was condemned, my confessor has besieged me; he threatened and menaced, until I almost began to think that I was the monster that he said I was (42).” In regard to her confession of William’s murder. Is this yet another example from the novel that demonstrates a general definition of the term monstrosity? Justine was defined as a monster by her confessor or accuser. Does she fit the profile of a monster?

  4. Did Victor consider the consequences of his actions? Who is responsible for the results? Is the Creature? Is Victor?

  5. ADD 6 more quotations and comments on your theme transition into your expansion topic at this point with either a statement, image, video, or something!

  6. How does modern day society define monstrosity? Society has defined monstrosity through such people as “The Elephant Man” to “Ted Bundy” & through such vices as racism, sexism, or any -ism in society. Do these individuals depict how society sees itself? Do we identify others as ‘monsters’ help us to define what is normal in society? Is this societal self-defense? Do they help us to define our darkest selves?
