Morality in Frankenstein With cloning of life forms and genetic engineering now commonplace, the question of the morality of Doctor Frankenstein's actions is now more important than ever. Perhaps the novel Frankenstein contains lessons that can be applied in today's technologically advanced world. It was Dr. Victor Frankenstein's opinion that it was morally acceptable to bring his creation to life. Frankenstein's creation therefore needed a companion. Knowing that his first creation was evil, should the Doctor have made a second? Even with the knowledge at hand, Dr. Frankenstein decides that it is not at all morally correct to bring another monster into the world. ***In general, try to avoid using questions in a formal document. Considering this problem with his family in mind, the doctor begins his work on the second monster. The first monster threatened Frankenstein and even his family. The monster angrily said to Frankenstein, “I can make you so miserable” (162). Trying to scare Frankenstein for not creating his mate, the monster resorted to threats. If the good doctor creates a companion for his first creation, he may endanger others. Victor looks at his work and calls it "the miserable monster I had created" (152). If there is another monster, there will be double the power and perhaps double the evil, which could hurt or kill his family. When and if Frankenstein commits the moral sin of creating another monster, he may be rid of both monsters forever. “With the companion you give me I will leave the neighborhood of man,” (142) the morally corrupt monster promises the doctor after completing his companion. There is a possibility that the monsters will not keep their promise and remain in Europe, evoking fear in the citizens. ***This paragraph is a little hard to follow. I think the problem is with “if” statements. It would be helpful to reframe them as definitive statements, because they have already happened in the novel. Also, the last sentence doesn't seem to fit into the flow of the paragraph. The good doctor, trying to act morally, destroys the monster for the good of the world. Monsters can potentially take control of whatever they want. “It would propagate a race of devils,” (163) Frankenstein thinks to himself in his study. The monsters, if powerful enough, could conquer Europe. Frankenstein realizes that he cannot condemn the world for his own benefit.
