I say this because now that the monster is gaining knowledge he comes to realize that everyone is afraid of him because of the way he looks and he wants revenge on Dr. Frankenstein.]]> 2018-10-03 16:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288746545 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288746783 Given that the more knowledge the creature has the more it wants. For example he sees that Dr.Frankenstein talks the creature wants to do the same. So the more knowledge that creature has makes it worse for everyone

]]> 2018-10-03 16:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288746783 I believe it helps the creature. In a way it helps the creature because he could have more knowledge about what is wrong and right. He could become more civilized instead of being the terrifying monster everyone is scared of. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288747200 2018-10-03 16:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288747200 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288747746 Since the creature is learning what is right from wrong, he saved a little girl from downing. Due to him having this knowledge, it caused him to get shot. So, it would be better if he did not know as much as he did. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288747746 Knowledge hurts the monster. He is able to read emotions. He realizes that most of the things created aren’t abandoned like children, he also relates Adam and his creator and he wonders why he is abandoned so he doesn’t feel like he is liked or loved by anybody. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748088 2018-10-03 16:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748088 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748414 Knowledge gave the creature a sense of purpose and being. As he began to learn more, he became more intellectual and reading gave him a sense of extreme delight as he quoted in the book. He says how the books affected him dramatically and how he’s became a whole different being since he started reading and learning. Knowledge showed him right from wrong, and helped him learn from his mistakes. Knowledge also makes him want to learn more and be a better person, and helps him understand the fact that his appearance is whats frightening the fellow citizens. This although could affect him mentally and give him self doubt and hate toward himself, but i think knowledge makes him feel like he has a purpose in life and things get better]]> 2018-10-03 16:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748414 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748513 Ultimately throughout the reading knowledge is hurting the creature because his knowledge leads to failure and anger. In the novel the creature states “The possession of these treasures gave me extreme delight; I now continually studied and exercised my mind upon these histories.” From this quote we can gather that the creature has all of this knowledge about his surroundings and is discovering more and more by which he is becoming more comfortable with his new found life that he begins to talk to humans and act like the humans. This leads to his anger because when he interacts with the people around him he is shot down and attacked because he does not look like them. Therefore he becomes angry and reacts like a monster which ends in failure. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748513 20sifford_savannah https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748773 Knowledge ultimately hurts the creature. He knows that people think he’s ugly and evil, he also learns more about the bible and compares himself to the bad sides of it. More knowledge = hurting more emotionally]]> 2018-10-03 16:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288748773 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288749101 In Frankenstein, knowledge ultimately hurt the creature through having high expectations of what relationships are like and the idea of love. The creature took his knowledge that he learned and used it to develop his feelings, “As I read, however, I applied much personally to my own feelings and condition.” Through him reading about love and relationships, he discovered that he wanted something like this. This would be hard for him to find good relationships because of the way he looked. However, he did not understand why someone could not love him.

Through meeting the people that he had been watching, he realized that they were scared of him and this hurt the creature, “But my heart sank within me as with bitter sickness, and I refrained.” Through his high expectation for love and relationships, he thought that again they would accept him and he would finally have people that he could talk to. This was not the case, what he had learned about relationships ultimately hurt him in the end.

Dangerous knowledge is a theme commonly seen in Frankenstein. We can see how the thirst of knowledge the creature has can bring him to places. It can eventually help him find what he is looking for. The knowledge may also take the creature places that are dangerous. The strive for such knowledge drives can be what drives the creature to his grave. It also brings others to the realization of what may happen if they don’t stop ]]> 2018-10-03 16:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288749446 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288749710 Ultimately, knowledge hurt the creature. Once the creature began to become educated, the new found knowledge led the monster down a dangerous path. For example, knowing how to communicate, feel human emotions, and able to see a life that he desired caused him to experience negative side effects like loneliness from having nobody and being abandoned, self consciousness and feeling ugly, and being angry at the cruel and unfair world. If the creature had not gained knowledge, he would not know any better and his life would not have been so miserable,

I learned, from the views of social life which it developed, to admire their virtues and to deprecate the vices of mankind.” The knowledge the creature obtains helps him to form morals and what is accepted in society.]]> 2018-10-03 16:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288749782 20gladney_tionia https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750026 Throughout the novel the creature goes through new experiences and gains knowledge which leads to anger and failure. Knowledge ultimately hurts the monster, he understands he is different and the emotion that show by to people towards him.

]]> 2018-10-03 16:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750026 I would say help, because the creature wants love and companionship. With knowledge the creature learns that he will never be loved and this is sad, but he needed to know. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750054 2018-10-03 16:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750054 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750251 Knowledge evidently hurt Frankenstein. Him having his knowledge wasn’t put to use because people only looked at his appearance. On the outside, he was a monster. On the inside, all he did was hate his creation. Not being able to put use to his knowledge made him feel worthless. He just wanted to be like other humans around him but he wasn’t seen for his character.

Although knowledge is seen as a positive aspect to have, in the creatures position it is not. The creature was created and abandoned by his creator. He was left by himself and had to learn how to survive on his own. As he gains knowledge he wants to become apart of society. He wants the opportunity to be able to interact with people, but is too afraid due to knowing his appearance isn’t acceptable in society, which hurts him intimately. In the book, the Creature finally decided to test if he could fit in with society by going over and talking to De Lacey. The creature wanted De Lacey to get to know him and accept him, because he believed it would be easier since De Lacey is blind, but to his surprise Felix and the others return and they react violently. “Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore me from his father, to whose knees I clung, in a transport of fury, he dashed me to the ground and struck me violently with a stick. But my heart sank within me as with bitter sickness, and I refrained. I saw him on the point of repeating his blow, when, overcome by pain and anguish, I quitted the cottage, and in the general tumult escaped unperceived to my hovel.” As a result, the creature is heart broken and full of anger. Which leads him to seek revenge. He goes out and kills as his revenge and this all ends up hurting him. If he lacked knowledge, he wouldn’t understand everything that is going on and wouldn’t have experience such an awful moment, that would lead to destruction.

In the passage , once the monster began to read and gain knowledge of his emotions, he then realized his anger and hatred toward Doctor Frankenstein and vowed to take his aggression out on the same species and the doctors in order to gain a sense of happiness within himself.

In the story the creature learns to read and can finally decipher what the papers of Frankenstein’s diary, prior to the creature animation, are saying. The monster, after reading these papers says, “Hateful day when I received life!’ I exclaimed in agony. ‘Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”Through this piece of text we can see that prior to the monster’s ability to read and understand feeling, he was, in his mind, okay. However, after observing the villagers, and reading other books such as “Plutarch’s Lives”, and “Paradise Lost”, he understands different emotions. Because the monster learned to read and understands new feelings, he becomes angry, hurt, and feels betrayed. He learns that his creator sees him as disgusting and he doesn’t feel as though he belongs anymore.]]> 2018-10-03 16:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750530 Knowledge helps the creature, though the creature was just born, it didn’t know anything, and it learned on its own to do many human-like characteristics, like talk, read, it is intelligent, it has emotions, and it feels things, this all helps the creature develop and know more things to be able to function right. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750623 2018-10-03 16:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/z7ja5m89htpl/wish/288750623 Knowledge ultimately hurts the creator.

One of the popular themes in the book is how dangerous knowledge can be. In chapter 16 of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the creature states “Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed? I know not; despair had not yet taken possession of me; my feelings were those of rage and revenge. I could with pleasure have destroyed the cottage and its inhabitants and have glutted myself with their shrieks and misery.”, the gist of the quote meaning that Frankenstein’s monster was created out of knowledge and curiosity and that after the creatures acquisition of knowledge, he grew more curious and wanted to explore and establish a relationship with the humans, knowledge seems to be the ultimate evil that ruin Frankenstein and his monster’s life.
