Frankenstein

Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus was written by Mary Shelley and published in 1818 during Romantic period. But, it also has a connection to the Enlightenment Period because it was published nearly at the end of the Enlightenment which influenced the author's work. It was a gothic novel, a combination of horror and science fiction story. It was about a man telling the story by sending a letter to his sister about the scientist’s life, which was also said to him by the scientist. It was about an intelligent scientist who created a monster out of human body parts because of searching, finding, and experimenting for immortality so that his loved ones could escape death. However, he didn’t think of the possible consequences of his actions. When the monster was created, he didn’t take responsibility as the owner of the creature, he tried to run away from the problems it had made and just kept silent, even though other lives went in vain. In the end, he died and when the monster saw it, he also killed himself.

My favorite character in the novel is the monster. The monster doesn’t have a specific name, but everyone calls him a monster. He was secretly created by a scientist named Victor Frankenstein. When he was made, he was a monster-eating human. Even though he did cruel things, in the end, he wanted to be like humans, with the same respect and treatment but in the end, no one wanted him, everyone still hated him.

I can relate to this character because I also have a side where I want to be accepted by society, not be left out, mingle with others, and be what they are, from their style to how they act. But in the end, I can’t keep up, I can’t be like them, there’s always a gap, a difference, it can’t be that way, they will always make you feel that you do not belong, it feels like they are judging you, stabbing you at the back, into your insecurities in life but not noticing your good deeds, nor your positive side. The monster wants to have a normal, but he can’t achieve it. He even fell in love with a human being, but he can’t be with her that’s why he asked Frankenstein to make a woman like him. However, when Frankenstein is about to finish making the woman, he destroys it because he is afraid that many more accidents or crimes will happen because of them, and they will become more powerful. And that’s when the monster began to hate him that’s why Victor started to go to faraway places to avoid his creation but ended up dying in a boat because of disease. In the end, he killed himself after his creator died because he felt like he didn’t have a purpose, and he regretted his actions and felt guilty about hating Victor. It was such a sad ending that reflects today’s society. It’s hard to be accepted by everyone, especially if you are different. Even if you did everything for them, they would always give back what they think you deserve based on your appearance and judge you based on their perspective. The monster actually had a kind-hearted soul. It only proves that a villain is not born but made.

Frankenstein was more about searching for eternity without thinking about the consequence of one’s action, which reflects the people's behavior during the Enlightenment period and is connected to today’s time. People continue to create, build, and experiment to solve problems or for improvements to be advanced, and high-tech but never consider the impact and effect of their creation on our environment. The Enlightenment period was about celebrating ideas, the highlight of this period was more about technology, inventing everything that comes to the mind of the people, and it is still apparent during this generation. This novel is also related to romanticism as what was illustrated by Mary Shelly, in her made character, the monster, where the feelings and agony of the character were expressed. It is about being completely different in a community, where you were known to be a cruel one, but once you have a desire to change yourself, society will always try to drag you down, not believing, not wanting, but are against you. One of the morals in the novel is to be responsible in every action that you take, no matter what the consequences are, you should never run from it, figure it out, you started it, and you must finish it.

Ok genuine question- does anyone ever feel sort of nostalgic when looking at art from the renaissance?

When I was younger I never took much notice, being more of a fan of abstract art at the time but now I love renaissance art; genuinely, there is just something comforting and nostalgic looking at it

La Eileithyia Elestial or The Beautiful Goddess

By: Andrea

I decided to share my project lol. And introducing another nickname and form of the God of Luceras.

So like this project is about choosing a famous artwork from a famous artist during the Renaissance period and then we try to recreate or make our own version. Soooo I decided to choose the artwork of Raphael called "La belle jardinière" or for short "The Beautiful Gardener".

Anyways, that's all I have to share! I'm gonna continue to suffer another day of school tomorrow. Good luck to my quizzes I guess ehe...
