***** Shelley's Frankenstein: The Monster's Right to Live

***** Mary Shelley's novel ***** made me realize how the assumption of others can be so pre-judg*****ntal. When Frankenstein comes to one's mind, the obvious ***** would always be to reject the monster and despise *****cause of his ugliness, evil rage, and cruelty to mankind. But, after reading the novel, I then thought that those who judge Frankenstein haven't had the chance yet to know ***** real story behind Frankenstein. Thus, in this essay, ***** will try to be in the *****'s side and try to defend his right to live peacefully and ***** ***** people's inimical attitude towards him.

Soon, **********, ***** ac*****ledged his mistake but it was already late. He realized that he had ***** something supernatural, ***** that can be dangerous to mankind. Never*****less, I must point a very particular thing ab***** the religious neatness of ***** novel. To my mind, Mary Shelley purposely avoided writing any confessional tensions because within the novel, what we can only hear from Viktor are as follows (Chapter 3).

Good God! *****n what desert l***** ***** you lived, where no one was kind enough to inform you that these fancies, which ***** have so greedily imbibed, ***** a thousand years old, and as musty as they are ancient?"

Frankenstein, left ***** his own devices, made an outstanding journey in human evolution. From a murmuring spawn to the artificial homo-sapiens ***** an
