Frankensteins monster went to the artic when his creator denied him companionship. I guess I should count my self lucky its not that cold even if it feels such some nights. Ive always identified with Franks monster and Ill bet youve got more in common than you think. Whether you equate the monster to some biblical story of Adam or maybe Satan him self in Miltons Paradise lost each are fitting. Adam as in the stories of genesis or other such historys has shown that god has left us to fend for ourselves, to learn and wonder about the numerous unknowns, only to turn in frustration on our creator in anger and destructive behaviors. The creature like Satan him self once beloved by his creator is cast out and much the same as the monster, Satan is set on vengeance against his creator in the only way he knows how hurting those closest to him. The numerable interpretation of Mary Shellys story and the many adaptations on its bases, all pinned to the cosmic themes of the limits of man and the omniscience of god which extends to man emulating god. The disturbing parallels between both the characters of Dr. Frankenstein and his monster and us/me, Ive always identified with the creature more than Dr.Frank though. I have no desire of a Faustino concept of the ambitious man who momentarily knows gods thoughts and is thus driven mad because of it. Even the theme of dualitys in the divided self of each the creator and the creature that is part of the human psyche as told in many much more ancient stories falls short. Ive felt more as the simple fool who craves love and understanding yet chooses violent and destructiveness because of the lack of compassion and fear of others. Frustration and rejection turn to self hatred and shame vented only through selfish as malicious intentions, insecurities masked in arrogance. When you look at the creatures growth and desire, one can not help but find parables in ones own life which is fairly obvious in his sympathetic identification in most adaptations, his desires for companionship with his creator finding rejection due to his ugliness. We all have our ugliness our zero states most find it much deeper than physical and probably have a few too many memories of actions our ugliness has caused, memories we wish we could alter yet theres no plastic surgeon that can do the Extreme Make Over: Soul addition short of maybe a Nurse Ratchet recommended lobotomy. Thus with a rejection from his creator the monster turns to humanity to fulfill his wants, tries ever so hard, locating the lovely family and attempting to provide for them, cutting fire wood, shoveling snow from the path doing what he can. Yet eventually they see his ugliness also and he is chased from the village. This is how I feel granted I dont think there are any pitch fork caring mobs coming for me but I am driven by circumstance from my on failed attempts at compassion and denial of an equal other, yet of my own design rather than that of my creator. You ever felt as if you met your soul mate but youve blown it and now theres nothing left or like youve all ready had the happiest moment of your life and for the rest of your days youll just be chasing that dragon?
