FRANKENSTEIN

Morality. It has been questioned by people, honored by people and revered since the
beginning of time. Yet even today not one person can say what is morally right. It is a
matter of opinion. It was Dr.Victor Frankenstein's opinion that it was alright to create
a monster. Frankenstein's creation needed a companion. Knowing that his first creation
was evil should the doctor make a second? With the knowledge at hand, to Dr.Frankenstein,
it is not at all morally correct to bring another monster into the world.
Looking at this probelm with his family in mind, the doctor begins his work on the second
monster. The first monster threatened Frankenstein and even his family. The monster
angrily said to Frankenstein, I can make you so wretched. (pg. 162) Trying to scare
Frankenstein for not creating his mate the monster resorted to threats. If the good
doctor does create a companion for his first creation he may be endangering others. The
miserable monster whom I had created, (pg.152) says Victor upon looking back at his work.
If there is another monster there will be twice the power and possibly twice the evil,
which could hurt or kill his family. When and if Frankenstein commits the moral sin of
creating another monster he may be rid of both monsters forever. With the companion you
bestow I will quit the neighbourhood of man,(pg 142) promises the morally corrupt monster
to the doctor upon the completion of his partner. When the doctor, if and when he,
finished his first creation's mate there is a chance that the monsters will not keep
their promise and stay in Europe envoking fear into townfolk.
The good doctor, trying to act morally, destroys the monster for the good of the world.
The monsters can potentially take over whatever they please. A race of devils would be
propegated,(pg. 163) thinks Frankenstein to himself in his study. The monsters, if
powerful enough, could possibly take over Europe. Frankenstein realizes that he can not
possibly doom the world to benefit himself. Shall I, in coold blood, set loose upon the
earth a daemon..(pg. 162) argues Frankenstein with his creation. It is not morally right
for one person to unleash such a terror on the world to benefit only himself and his
family. Frankenstein will not let any example change his mind on the point that the
monster is and will always be morally corupt. Continuing on his point that the monster
was too evil to duplicate, Frankenstein says, Your threats cannot move me to do an act of
wickedness; but they confirm me in determination of not creating you a companion in
vice.( pg. 163) Frankenstein will not sacrifice his morallity because of persuation from
a monster. Although beholding the threat of death and misery Frankenstein held his ground
and did not sacrifice his moral.
When and if Frankenstein creates another monster he can not feel as if he has done the
morally right thing. From creating the monster Frankenstein will some how be making
people other than himself unhappy.  I consent to your demand, on your solem oath to quite
Europe forever, and every other place in the neighbourhood of man,(pg. 143) says
Frankenstein as he sees the power that the two could possibly possess. The good doctor
sees that with his own hands he could possibly scar the world forever. The doctor wants,
if anyone, himself to be unhappy instead of all of man kind. Begone! I do break my
promise, (pg. 162) states the doctor angrily. Not thinking about himself but the world
unselfishly breaks his promise to the monster. Possessing such a great mind the doctor is
able to realize that a greater evil will be realesed upon the earth then upon himself.
Your threats cannot move me to do an act of wickedness,(pg. 162) says the doctor as he
argues his point with his creation. The doctor sees that a greater and more horrible
result can come from him making the second monster than not.
With the knowledge at hand, to Dr.Frankenstein, it is not at all morally correct to bring
another monster into the world. On the one hand if the second monster was created
Frankenstein's family would be saved. By the same token the rest of the world could be
forced to bow before two hideous monsters. The problem, making or not making the second
monster, played heavily on Frankenstein's mind, possibly caused his brief lapse into the
realm of the insane. Even though Frankenstein began his work for the good of man his
experiment ended up hurting himself and his family.
