Topic > Knowledge Kills: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - 808

Albert Einstein once said “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So that's a lot. Knowledge can be positive because it enables success. So, it can also be very bad, for example a criminal who is too smart for the police, can continue to commit a crime. Too much knowledge is dangerous because it can harm many, which means many die or are scarred for life because of a simple guy with an excess of knowledge. First of all, too much knowledge can lead to judgment. Victor states: "How can I describe my emotions in the face of this catastrophe, or how to delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pain and care I have tried to form?" (Shelley 47). In this quote, Victor judges the monster as soon as it is born. Because of the monster's appearance and without considering its personality, Victor judges it and thinks it is stupid, scary and evil. This article states: "Throughout Frankenstein, the reader gets the sense that Victor's obsessive desire to defeat nature, through the creation of another life, led directly to the many tragedies that befell him." This means that due to his irresponsible judgment his life starts to go downhill. The monster is now constantly trying to ruin Victor's life, and he's doing a good job. Victor has too much knowledge. they bully or make fun of others because of When one knows too much about good looks and being bad, he thinks just because he doesn't have nice clothes or is not really smart just because of his looks. When someone knows everything, they tend to judge when they don't even know anything about themselves. Furthermore, when one has too much knowledge, one thinks that everyone is beneath them. Judging is something others don't know they're doing, it just happens, but being too smart can definitely lead to finding yourself... in the middle of the paper... on one is. I harm and kill many, so knowledge should not be used without responsibility. It can make someone rich and successful, but not in the way you think they will become rich. Someone can always get rich in a bad way and that means you usually have no good intentions. Too much knowledge is not good and can really hurt others. Works Cited "Comparison". Tim Josey. Network.
