FrankensteinHaving seen the film Frankenstein was an experience that really brought out emotions in me that I thought were normal for everyone who knew Frankenstein and to be melodramatic for a day, but the possibility of truly understand the emotions I felt while watching the film while reading the story of the Frankenstein book. Reading Frankenstein in depth made my understanding of its contents more complete and led me to identify the many social issues within it. Frankenstein was a difficult read for me, but it gets better and more exciting as I go along as I get used to the style and language used. Can science have the ultimate power to push the human potential to manipulate life itself as something man can create and give? The act of playing God usually involves transgressions committed in the field of science, including choosing who should and should not receive life, which ultimately results in serious negative moral consequences. Victor Frankenstein created a creature that he abandoned after contemplating its flaws and deeming them unacceptable. He gave up on his creation and totally rejects it due to its size and appearance which scared everyone as they greeted Victor's creature with fear and violent reactions. Shelly's Frankenstein revolved around the themes of science and Victor's ambition, moral responsibility, psychological balance and social isolation which must remind each of us very well that human beings are images of God, and that humans as scientists continue to probe the power of creation and attempt to understand that it must act as a steward of God's creation. The attempt to create a new creature with extreme powers summarizes how humans can be so presumptuous in recognizing the human capabilities and the... medium of paper... scientific questions that the author addresses by showing us science and its negative aspects. Whether or not Frankenstein created a monster or creature worthy of human sympathy, understanding and respect is always a situation that must remind us that there are always dangers in the misuse of many technological developments as well as human capabilities. Human beings who play God must use their abilities in ways that will deepen and enrich the lives of human beings keeping in mind that the effect of much scientific progress can lead to an arrogant aping of God's power and a refusal to accept what nature or God brings with it. Therefore the act of interpreting God as man created in the image and likeness of God is not the ability to create life, but it is the moral responsibility of man which echoes the moral responsibility of God as the ability to act with wisdom and love.
