State of California versus Frankenstein :: Argumentative Persuasive Mary Shelley Essays

State of California versus Frankenstein Ladies and gentleman of the jury we are gathitherd here today to highlight the injustices, prove the innocence, and consequently save the life of a man that has been dealt the wrong hand since even before his existence. A man who with no power of his own, was put into situations that forced him to behave the way that he did. His actions were just mirror reflections of the behavior that he was taught, and seeing how he was perceived as beingness a monster rather than serviceman, he soon began to fulfill the role of the monster he was seen as. Mr. Frankenstein had not the power nor was he given the ability to interpret his own actions. He has been made a victim of circumstance. In conclusion, I will try to prove that Frankenstein should not be held personally or chastely responsible for his actions, because forces outside his control caused his criminality. <Doctor Victor Frankenstein once stated A virgin species will bless me as its creat or and source galore(postnominal) happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me (Shelley 223). Yet, Dr. Victor did not think about the consequences of his actions, he did not think about the effect it would have on his creation. He was just empowered by the vision of creating a human being. His sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate corpse (Shelley 233). Dr. Victor gathered the corporeal he needed to create Frankenstein. Yet, he never thought of the negative aspects that his creation would inherit due to its degenerate body parts. First, lets talk about the neurophysiological aspect. Frankenstein was given an abnormal brain, the brain of a criminal. To the Doctors defense he did not know that the stolen brain was one that belonged to a criminalhowever, it is very possible that the new brain recipient inherited the anti-social behavior possessed by the former. A second point worth noting is Frankensteins genetic makeup. The massive abnormalities in which Franken stein has had to endure reflects his behavior. For example, his unproportionate body parts his hands longer than a normal human being. This mans unusual height, eight feet tall is proportionally larger and stronger than any other man. A approach pattern covered by many scars that bond each piece of raw material that was used to create Frankenstein. And that face, the face of an outcast, which whenever seen, frightens any creature around, whether it be human or animal.
