Frankenstein__Beauty_VS_Ugliness

Frankenstein: Beauty VS Ugliness Beauty vs. Ugliness There is more to beauty than what meets the eye. In society, many people base beauty on outer looks alone rather than taking the time to see deep into the spirit of beauty, which skulks beneath the skin and bones. In Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, the monster’s actions are a mere reflection of society’s ignorance towards his appearance. The actions that the monster fulfills throughout the novel are simply based on the struggle between beauty and ugliness. The monster’s beauty reflects actions based on morals, goodness, and sincere feelings; whereas his ugliness represents actions of evil and revenge. The monster starts off as an experiment brought to life and beautified by Victor’s love for science and creation. The beauty contained by the monster is deep within his making and can also be defined as natural or inner beauty. Society can easily overlook the beauty beneath the physical form, as did Victor. At the beginning of his project, Victor was close to his family, and experienced love and good feelings towards everything that he did. That is where the monster received the feeling of inner beauty.
