Frankenstein by Mary Shelly Essay

The setting in both books is mainly in the 18th century where there wasnt anything too modern which gartered add the theme of gothic aversion to the reading audience as in those times it was a lot darker and more horrifying. In an reference with a lamia the story is set over 200 years. Showing as the theme of gothic horror in the book decreases, as the book becomes more modern. This is shown when Lestat is scared of the modern world and the colored lights as he look ats they are sunlight scaring him into hiding.There are various themes in both books for caseful they accept written one of the char cultivateers acting like God, Lestat in Interview with a vampire and passkey in Frankenstein. This was especi all in ally scary in Frankenstein 1816 as the people took religion very seriously and to disgorge about gods in this way was known as evil, which scared the people who read the book Which would propel terror into the people who read it. When in Frankenstein the beast sa ys I am thy creature, I ought to be thy exaltationAnd in Interview in the vampire when Lestat acts as god by creating Louie and also when Lestat says they are the homogeneous as God when he says Gods kill, and so shall we This shows the God theme as Lestat connects being a vampire to being Gods which is shown in the quote. Another thing in both books they deal with the themes of outsiders. In Frankenstein when the creature is sounding in On examining the dwelling, I found that one of the windows of the cottage had formally occupied part of it entirely now the panes had been boarded up with wood. In one of these was a small and almost imperceptible chick, through which the eye could just penetrate.Through this crevice a small room was visible. Also in Interview with a vampire Louie became an outsider when he became a vampire. I verbalize goodbye to the sunrise and went out to become a vampire The two texts are very similar though in many ways. First of all in both texts the main character is an outsider, Louie as a Vampire as he is distinguishable from everyone else as he is a vampire and Victor as an outcast to everyone else as he created this lusus naturae and is a criminal for doing so making him an outsider and different to other people.Also both authors develop lost a child which may have helped write the book using their life experiences to help them writing the book. Both books have roughly the same plot when Louie or the creature both have a natural birth and find it hard to survive. Also in both books they murder when the creature kills people or Louie kills people for blood. As when Louie said, Now I am guilty of murder. I think the authors of these two texts have dont an excellent job in dealing with the theme of outsiders in the text as the setting, the characters and whats happening around them all start them outsiders.Also what the characters are and how they act and what they do which inspires terror or horror into the reader crea te the genre of Gothic horror and make it stand out. But what most of all stuck into my mind were the lecture from Louie, which really made me think Gothic horror and outsiders, was I wanted love and goodness in this which is living death I said It was impossible from the beginning, because you cannot have love and goodness when you do what you know to be evil, what you know to be vilify and also in Frankenstein when Victor said It was necessary that I should return without delay to Geneva, there to mark off over the lives of those I do fondly loved and to lie in wait for the murderer, that if any casualty led me to the place of his concealment, or if he dared Both showing the Gothic horror in their words like when they say murderer and evil creating the gothic horror feeling.
