1. The creature learns a significant amount from Milton’s Paradise Lost: "Like Adam, I was apparently united by no link to any o

ther being in existence; but his state was far different from mine in every other respect. He had come forth from the hands of God a perfect creature... Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition, for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me." Why is it dangerous that the creature read Paradise Lost as a true history? What if it had read other religious texts? What about strictly fictional works? What works would you have recommended to the creature for its education?

This question refers to the novel <em>Frankenstein</em> by Mary Shelley. In this book, we learn of a monster or a creature that is created by a scientist. After the creature escapes, he wants to learn more about humans and the world, and he does so by reading <em>Paradise Lost</em>, which tells the story of Adam and Eve.

It is dangerous for the creature to read <em>Paradise Lost</em> as a true story because this is not the purpose of such a text. <em>Paradise Lost </em>is a story that is meant to be allegorical and symbolic. This can also be said of other religious texts, as they do not convey the reality of the world objectively. Therefore, the creature would not benefit much from reading them. As for fictional works, the creature would encounter a similar problem, as these stories do not necessarily tell facts. The creature, however, could benefit from reading books on history, biology, philosophy or other similar subjects, as these are more likely to give an accurate image of the human world.

Answer:

hello!

Explanation:

Frankenstein

6) Victor and Alphonse travel from Le Harve, France to Paris. They rest a few days in Paris before continuing on to Geneva. Elizabeth sends a letter to Victor asking if he has another love. When he arrives in Geneva, he assures her that he is ready to marry her. Ten days after his return home, Victor marries Elizabeth. Knowing that the threat made by the monster still hangs over him, Victor leaves on his honeymoon not sure whether the monster will carry out his evil plan.

The author used the letter because Elizabeth felt that victor have enother women is his life.  

He felt very bad by the thought that Elizabeth is having doubts about his true intentions.

What really worries Victor is the attraction between family loyalty and happiness versus the sentence announced by the monster. He agrees to set the date of the wedding with Elizabeth ten days after his arrival in Geneva. Victor promises Elizabeth that she needs to tell her "story of misery and terror" after getting married.  

7) A storm arises during the night as Victor wanders the halls to look for potential hiding places for his foe. During this search, the monster steals into the Frankenstein's room and strangles Elizabeth, like his other victims. As other guests rush into the room, Victor tells of the presence of the monster and a search ensues. The grief overwhelms Victor and he falls down "in a state of utter exhaustion." He vows to return to Geneva to protect his remaining family.

In Geneva, Alphonse learns of his daughter-in-law's demise and he dies of a broken heart a few days later. Victor's mind turns from a victim to a seeker of revenge, to avenge the deaths of his friends and family at the hands of his creation. He says, "I have but one resource, and I devote myself, either in my life or death, to his destruction."

Even when Victor talks to the magistrate, he mentions that he feels the monster is still lurking around. The monster knows where Victor is at all times, and Victor can sense when the monster is very close

8) The letters close the "frame" in the novel. Walton's version of the story is used to make Victor's story more credible. Walton gives the story some validity by mentioning that he sees Victor's letters and the monster.

The first letter reinforces the issue that using knowledge for evil leads to disaster. Walton and Victor also talk about literature, probably romantic books.

In the second letter, Walton has deep feelings about failure, sounding a depressed note about his failure to achieve his goals. He also feels a deep sense of sadness when he finds company, only to lose it in death.

In the letter dated September 5, Walton knows the limits of his personal and physical being, but Victor still wants to move on. Obviously, Victor has lost his mind, since no thinking person would risk his life for something like this unless he was really selfish.

In the final letter, dated September 12, the monster alludes to the Lost Paradise of Milton saying: "But even so, the fallen angel becomes an evil demon. However, even that enemy of God and man had friends and partners in his desolation; I am alone. "The monster knows that even the Devil had a host with him for help and comfort. Being alone led him to commit revenge killings to torment his creator.

9) The monster represents the conscience created by Victor, the ego of Victor's personality — the psyche which experiences the external world, or reality, through the senses, that organizes the thought processes rationally, and that governs action. It mediates between the impulses of the id, the demands of the environment, and the standards of the superego.

What is shown is the similarity between the monster and victor. Since the monster speaks and feels like a person, with his own ego. Kill its creator and feel guilty.
