Since many
bloggers have been showing resemblances and differences of Frankenstein with a movie, I personally find the best movie that
could be compared with the retaliation situation is The Rise of the Planet of
the Apes.
Towards the
end of this movie, we see that the main character “Caesar” is not seeking
revenge towards his master, rather love. Where on the other hand, in Mary
Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein wanted vengeance from Victor (his creator);
because he thought that his creator did not leave him anything before his
death.
Many reasons
could have been prevented Frankenstein’s point of view towards his creator:
where one of the most inspiring motives is the fact of taking care of a
creation. Whereas Victor’s main reason behind crafting the monster was to
return life to the inanimate.
By the
director Rupert Wyatt, the movie shows how a chimpanzee with inheritance of
high intelligence adapts quickly to the human and animal race. It also
illustrates as a final resolution, the animal does not want harm towards
anybody where he lives in a forest with all the other of his kind. As a response
from his master, he shows no obligations neither denial in regards to his idea.
I’m not sure I follow your argument here, Moneer, maybe because I haven’t seen the movie you mention. Is Caesar a creation of his master? How do Victor’s motives compare with Caesar’s master’s motives? I’m also not sure what you mean when you say that Victor didn’t leave his creature anything before his death. Was the creature looking for an inheritance? Also, who is showing neither obligations nor denial in your last sentence? Try to put yourself inside the mind of your reader when revising your writing—see if you can anticipate what a reader might need help understanding, and see if you can make your point(s) clearer.
