Affects of Compassion and Disgust in Frankenstein

By utilizing affect theory, this paper explores the issue of complexities in parent-child relationship in Marry Shelly's Frankenstein. To deal with this issue, it shows how compassion and disgust play role in determining the relationship between parents and children and in developing the nature of children. To show this, my paper analyzes the main characters, Victor Frankenstein (creator) and his creation (son). It also analyzes Frankenstein's feeling of disgust at his creation and his creation's desire for compassion from his creator (father). The feeling of disgust (lack of proper care) and lack of compassion are discussed to be the causes for arising complexity in parent- children relationship and children developing evil nature as shown in Shelly's Frankenstein.This paper seeks to study certain affects that Mary Shelly is trying to explore, about the issue of complexities between parent-child relationships in Frankenstein. This paper applies the theory of affect to study the contrasting representation of the creator and the created in Frankenstein. But the question arises, what opposing affects Mary Shelly evokes against the two characters, Victor, and the creature. The conflicting affects, the paper argues, are those of compassion for creator and disgust for the created.
