Language and Appearance in Frankenstein

The importance of language and appearance in Frankenstein is recognized as one of Frankenstein's monsters, expressing the importance and power of language through understanding and understanding of his own world. On the other hand, it shows the importance and strength of appearance. As this article shows, the novel shows that these two factors have very different functions. First of all, let's see how monsters recognize their appearance. From the first time he saw himself in the pool, he knew he had the characteristics of a monster.

Frankenstein's monster is often called "Frankenstein" and is a fictitious person who first appeared in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, or the modern prometheus. Shelley's title is thus compared with Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster, with the mythical character Prometheus, who shapes humans using clay and gives them firepower. In Shelley's Gothic story, Victor Frankenstein made living creatures in his laboratory through ambiguous methods of chemistry and alchemy. Shelly expressed the monster as 8 feet tall (2.4 m) tall, very ugly, sensitive and emotional. The monster tried to blend into human society but it was avoided, and it led him to seek revenge against Frankenstein. According to scholar Joseph Carroll, this monster occupies "the boundary normally defined between the hero and the enemies' characteristics."

"Knowledge means knowing that Frankenstein is not a monster, wisdom means knowing that he is himself." Humans are always against the rules established in society. Monsters are defined by the society in which he challenges or fears. We create our own monster which is our own reflection. This is an important theme of Frankenstein, a novel written at the time of the emergence of science, at that time society was extremely outraged about the problems of God and people, and the influence on human's own life itself Has continued to increase.

Frankenstein's theme is to emphasize the emergence and acceptance of society. In modern society and Frankenstein's society, people just judge one person according to their appearance. Social prejudice is usually based on the appearance, that is, the color of the person's skin, the clothes that people wear, or even their appearance. People make decisions instantly based on these social prejudices. This perception based on appearance determines people's behavior. In Frankenstein, the society at that time was similar to our society today. This is a society based on the outside world and this topic attracts people's attention to the horrific character of Victor Frankenstein for the general human beings. Everyone in society wants to be intellectually accepted whatever its form. Humans want to be accepted by society because of their intellectual and physical abilities. 45)
