Still, it's nice that you start out clear and direct. What I want to see is the relationship between Victor's argument that the monster is evil, and his own evil. Is it the argument itself that makes Victor Frankenstein himself evil, maybe? Is that what you're working toward?<br /><br />"It is at this point in the novel when the reader can see Victor’s argument that he wants nothing to do with the monster form." Is this an argument? You're describing a desire or possibly a belief. Then you switch back to the argument that the monster is pure evil - but you've been too busy switching arguments to provide any evidence for either argument, really.<br /><br />In fact, you never really present any evidence for what seems to be the main argument - that Victor argues that the monster is absolutely evil, then contradicts himself. The detail simply isn't there.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302919444091859459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381608294018617.post-7971759805429126312013-09-13T18:58:57.442-04:002013-09-13T18:58:57.442-04:00"Victor’s first and last impressions of the m..."Victor’s first and last impressions of the monster show that he believes the monster is evil and that he wants nothing to do with it."<br /><br />I might be misunderstanding your intentions here, but I think Victor did the complete opposite by devoting the rest of his life to hunting down and destroying the monster. Even when he was dying on the ship, he was enraged by the possibility of the crew turning back and not hunting down the monster.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825795191504101730noreply@blogger.com
