Block 2- Prosecution by Charles Bohnak https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak Made with the destruction of ethical norms en-us 2018-09-21 12:42:09 UTC 2019-10-02 01:24:30 UTC hello@padlet.com Test Post charles_bohnak https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/379905572 check, check. ]]> 2019-09-04 13:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/379905572 Mr. Bohnak's Example Post https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/380457331 Victor Frankenstein explains to Walton, "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world. A new species would bless me as its creator and source...I thought that if I could bestow animation upon lifeless matter, I might in process (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death has apparently devoted the body to corruption" (Shelley 44). This quote can be used to convict Victor of violating the Prometheus article.  Victor states that he might "renew life" and that his creation would "bless him." Both statements can be used to prosecute him; although he is not directly creating life, we can see that he has an egotistical predisposition that could result in him disregarding the law in the name of his scientific pursuit. ]]> 2019-09-05 15:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/380457331 Kenneth Garcia Example https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/380700463 chapter 9-11
There is evidence within Frankenstein text that support the conclusion that he is responsible for all the deaths within the book. for example he admits to that he is responsible his brother death and for the future of his nanny's death . Which can be seen in the quote "it was to be decided that whether my lawless device would cause the death of my two fellow beings"( Shelley 68). This quote clearly shows that he thinks his creature is responsible for his brother death and is waiting that if is lawless creation that cause the death of his nanny through trial.]]> 2019-09-06 00:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/380700463 Mikey Welsh https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381130065 Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein explores the inter-dialogue of Victor Frankenstein and the consequences of his experiments of creating a Frankenstein. Throughout the story, post-experiment, Victor’s mind constantly rehashes the night of the experiment, making Victor crazy with guilt. Victor can be found guilty in several instances throughout the story. One example showing this guilt occurs while Victor is in Justine’s prison cell, after Justine’s accusation of murdering William trial. Victor describes, “During this conversation I had retired to a corner of the prison room, where so could conceal the horrid anguish that possessed me” (Shelley 74). Victor’s isolation whilist in the prescience of his cousin, as well as Justine, whom he himself knew was innocent, provides a strong, powerful case that Victor is guilty. The fact that Victor was in anguish whilst in the prison during a trial to the point where he put himself in a corner of the room to hide these guilt-filled emotions proved he is guilty and responsible for the inhuman acts of murder. Victor’s isolation represents the guilt he has for murder, validifying the crimes he has committed against God and humanity.
Another example that proves Victor guilty of acts against God and humanity describes Victor’s regret for his Frankenstein experiment, by which he brought a dead body to life. Victor’s guilt is evident in his statement by which he describes, “it is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my being; all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct” (Shelley 90). Victor’s continual remorse throughout the story over his experiment, which is most especially seen in the provided example, shows that Victor is fully guilty of crime against God and humanity. Victor let his desire for knowledge, power/control, and his love science overtake his life, ultimately leading him into crime and unjust, inhuman acts, violating Ohio Law.

I was alive... but a weight of despair and remorse pressed on my heart which nothing could remove. Sleep fled from my eyes; I wandered like an evil spirit for I have committed deeds of mischief beyond description horrible, and more, much left behind (Shelley 77)." On the same page in the bottom paragraph Victor also says about himself "I was seized by the sense of guilt which hurried me away to hell of intense tortures such as no language can be described." These examples from the text are the feelings of Victor after the murder showing he is responsible.]]> 2019-09-08 22:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381372625 Kelly Quimper block 2 quimperkf21 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381408072 My evidence to show that Victor Frankenstein is guilty of murder. The quote i found from Chapter 8 shows how guilty victor really is: " I had none to support me; all looked on me as a wretch doomed to ignominy and perdition." (Shelley 67) This shows how lonely Victor is which causes depression and other issues which could of caused Victor to murder someone else.]]> 2019-09-09 02:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381408072 Grayce Young https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381411395 The Evidence I found that proved Victor guilty of murder was from chapter 7, " A flash of lightening illuminated the object and discovered its shape plainly to me; its gigantic stature, and the deformity of its aspect, more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly informed me that it was the wretch, the filthy demon to whom I had given life." and the goes on to say " Could he be the murder of my brother." (Shelley pg 63) This proving that the demon Victor gave life killed his brother and that death is on Victor because he created the monstrosity who killed his brother putting the murder on him and making it his fault proving he not innocent for what has been done by his creation. ]]> 2019-09-09 02:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381411395 Nathan Sieminski https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381532410 The evidence that I found in Chapter 5 proves Victor guilty of Crimes against Humanity, more specifically it goes against the "Prometheus Article". Victor says to himself, "But I was in reality very was very ill, and surely nothing but the unbounded and unremitting attentions of my friend could have restored me to life. The form of the monster on whom I had bestowed existence was forever before my eyes, and I raved incessantly concerning him." (Shelly 48) Victor in this passage admits to himself that yes he created a lifeless monster, Frankenstein. He admits to being mentally unstable, he admits on being the creator who "bestowed existence" on this horrible creature that ends up committing multiple murders. It is nobodies fault but Victors for the deaths of William, Justine, Henry, Alphonse, and Elizabeth. And he goes directly against the Prometheus Article, which states clearly that, “The reproduction and creation of human beings is recognized as a sacred process in the Miracle
of Life, and is best left unaltered by humankind, therefore, the artificial creation of humans in a
laboratory setting is prohibited.”  And as clear as day, Victor has artificially made life, not to a human, but to a monster.  ]]> 2019-09-09 11:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381532410 Owen Purcell purcelloa21 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381547428 The evidence I found in chapter 7 proves that Victor is indeed guilty because he went to the location of his brother Williams death and spots the monster in the area, immediately assuming he has killed his own brother. This shows that not only is he inhumane for creating the creature, but the creature is also a danger to others including his own family. Even if the monster wasn't actually the murderer of his brother, he still thinks it is a possibility proving that the monster is a danger to society regardless making him guilty.]]> 2019-09-09 12:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381547428 MK https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381695453 2019-09-09 15:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381695453 Michael Colagiovanni https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381695461 In chapter five Victor even feels the guilt of creating his monster after seeing what he really did. The morning after Victor would not even remain in his apartment and tried to avoid it. After leaving his apartment, he eventually came back and with a friend but all the months of hard labor and the shock of what he created caught up to him and he fell into a nervous fever which lasted several months. One gloomy day, after his recovery, he once again felt feelings of guilt and despair, showing that he is responsible for the monster. He tried to escape these feelings by traveling to the summit of Montanvert.]]> 2019-09-09 15:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/381695461 Christian Lazuka 2 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/385325810 2019-09-17 14:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/385325810 Michael Colagiovanni 2 colagiovannimr21 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/385674614 In chapter 12 the main focus of the monster is the cottage that is next door. The monster would observe and learn from them the english language. But when he would "steal a part of their store for my own consumption" he was contributing to their poverty (Shelley 99). As Victor had created this monster he was responsible for it and now he is responsible for the monster stealing food from the poor cottage next to him. Victor had not educated his creation on the reason that stealing is wrong and therefore this is Victors fault. If Victor had taken care of him and tried to teach the monster himself instead of letting him roam free, especially at night, there would have never been this issue.]]> 2019-09-18 01:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/385674614 Owen Purcell 2 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/385854575 In chapter 13 the monster discovers many new things by sneaking near the cottage owned by brother and sister Felix and Agatha. By eavesdropping for a long time the monster had learned language and feelings and many human-like qualities. This lead him to learn that he is not normal and his physical presence is unpleasing. He finds this out by seeing his reflection in a lake and this makes him sad. He then also realizes many other qualities he has that make him different or unpleasing to others. "Of my creation and creator I was absolutely ignorant, but I knew that I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property. I was, besides, endued with a figure hideously deformed and loathsome; I was not even of the same nature as man. I was more agile than they and could subsist upon coarser diet; I bore the extremes of heat and cold with less injury to my frame; my stature far exceeded theirs. When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned? (13.17)" This quote shows that he is disappointed that he can't be normal and this leads him to get angry and want his revenge on Victor for making him this way which leads to him killing Victor's brother William in the woods. This makes Victor guilty because if he had never made the monster or let him free roam after he escaped Victors apartment then this murder would have never happened.]]> 2019-09-18 11:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/385854575 Nathan Sieminski 2 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/385858236 In Chapter 13 of Frankenstein, death is a re-occurring theme. Frankenstein feels as if he deserves revenge on humanity really because in his eyes, everyone sees him as a monster, which he is. He goes and kills Victors brother which is first degree murder. As William is being strangled by the monster he says, "Let me go" "monster! Ugly wretch! You wish to eat me and tear me to pieces. You are an ogre. Let me go, or I will tell my papa." Struggling for his life being strangled, and even calls Frankenstein a monster. Why would you not call this creature a monster?

This monster would learn the English language by listening very carefully. Victor created this monster but never taught it anything so it acted out a lot. The monster would steal a lot and do many bad things . If victor would have trained this monster there would have been no issues at all. ]]> 2019-09-18 15:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/386035221 Christian Lazuka 3 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/388287718 Evidence to prove that Victor Frankenstein is guilty of murder- chapter 20 when Victor decides to break his promise to the creature of making him a companion and fleeing to South Africa. In rage, the monster plans to flee but swears to come back on Victors wedding night and murder him. "I will go, but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding night." Then Victor says "Before you sign my death-warrant, be sure that you are safe yourself." (Shelley 158). Victor is now threatening to kill his own creation because of how he did not properly educate and take care of the creature who also now is threatening to take another life out of anger.]]> 2019-09-23 15:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/388287718 Michael Colagiovanni 3 colagiovannimr21 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/388505634 In chapter 17 Victor's creation is reasoning with him about Victor making another being of an opposite sex for his creation to be companions. In the creatures reasoning he says that "I am malicious because I am miserable... You, my creator, would tear me to pieces and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me?" (Shelley 134). Victor's creation is basically blaming everything that he had done on Victor because of how poorly he treated him. He is miserable because he was created and was done so by Victor who made him an ugly thing that everyone is inclined to hate because of his appearance. Victor ultimately agrees with this by consenting to creating another monster for his already miserable one. ]]> 2019-09-23 22:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/388505634 Kelly Quimer 3 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/388572071 The monster is starting to gain human features that can become dangerous to th real world this can be seen in chapter 17, "his face was wrinkled into contortions too horrible for human eyes to behold; but presently he calmed himself and proceeded" (Shelley 17). The monster is starting to gain human features that can make the monster act out in rage. By becoming more human the monster might not be able to contain his emotions  which can lead to destruction. Victor will be responsible for this because it is his creation.

Victor is indeed guilty due to his inability to keep the monster calm and fulfill his requests. Yes, the monster has developed and can make his own decisions but he was still created by Victor and Victor is responsible for anything that the monster does because he is the only one who can stop him. "You are in the wrong," replied the fiend; "and instead of threatening, I am content to reason with you. I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me? You would not call it murder if you could precipitate me into one of those ice-rifts and destroy my frame, the work of your own hands." This quote from chapter 17 is evidence that Victor could've avoided this murder by simply completing the monsters request and then he wouldn't have lost his friend or have gone to jail.]]> 2019-09-24 12:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/388786098 Kenny Garcia 2 https://padlet.com/charles_bohnak/z8swgk0lj3ak/wish/388921775 When the monster got rejected by the cottage family it vowed to have a war on humans. which is seen in the quote"i could with pleasure destroy the cottage and it inhabitants and glutted myself with there shrieks and misery.(125 Shelley). showing that the monster is angry with humans and this because of victor not giving Frankenstein a proper home.

I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind?

My rage is unspeakable when I reflect that the murderer still exists. I devote myself, either in my life or death, to his destruction." (Shelley 191). The monster continues to seek his harmful revenge to Victor and is still taking extreme measures to take revenge on Victor, preferably murder.

The  monster says in chapter 21 "Of what materials was I made, that I could thus resist so many shocks, which like the turning of the wheel, continually renewed the torture?" (Shelley Ch 21). The monster is asking what he is made out of, which proves that the monster has no knowledge about where he is or where he came from.

He failed to realize that the creation was not there for him but for Elizabeth, "She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed, her head hanging down and her pale and distorted features half covered by her hair" (Shelley 186). If Victor had only kept his promise to his creation then he would be married and living a good life with his new wife.
