Importance of language and appearance in FrankensteinThe individual identified as the monster in Frankenstein demonstrates, through his own problems of understanding and being understood by the world, the importance and the power of language on him. on the one hand and the external appearance on the other. As this essay will show, the novel shows that these two factors do indeed have very different functions. Let us first examine the function of appearance as perceived by the monster. From the first time he sees himself in a pool of water, he knows he has the characteristics of a monster. Then he declares: “Alas! I did not yet fully understand the fatal effects of this miserable deformity” (p. 109). After that, he repeatedly experiences how people, including the one who created him, flee in terror from his distorted form, and finally, when all hope of a reversal of this situation has disappeared, he begins to use it deliberately for the purposes of revenge. The incident where he loses his last hope of being seen as anything other than a monstrosity occurs when William Frankenstein, his creator's younger brother and also a hopefully unprejudiced young child, proves that he sees him like any adult would, with disgust. and horror. After performing the act of killing the child, he decides to “bring despair upon [Victor Frankenstein], and a thousand other miseries will torment and destroy him” (p. 137). According to the monster, the function of appearance is to make society react to you. Whether the reaction is appropriate or not is irrelevant; all that matters is how you look. Then we have language and communication. The first time he encounters spoken words, the monster reports that "it was indeed... in the middle of a paper... then in the scene with the blind man), but sooner or later it will have to be revealed your true form towards the people whose respect you want, then an ill-formed outer shell will chase away the impressions left on them by your mind, no matter how dignified and elevated it may be. Ultimately, the only one who cares about who you are. truly is yourself, and everyone only sees your surface. The exception to this is love, because love is the ability to see through masks and understand who is behind them. monster, understanding this, begs his creator to give him an equal to love and be loved, but his pleas are rejected. He then sets out to destroy his creator and then himself, preferring death to a meaningless existence: to remain healthy. sane and loved, nourish your spirit, but to stay sane and loved stay socially accepted and popular, take care of your body..
