Essay / Monsters and Men in Macbeth, Beowulf, Frankstien
Monsters and Men (Unit Paper)For centuries we have wondered what the difference is between monsters and the men who make them who they are. What are the characteristics that define a monster? Usually, it's the villain, the person or thing that enters the story just to cause a massacre or obstruct the protagonist. On the other hand, men are simply defined as people who are the opposite of evil. There can be several people in a story who can be described as men. They don't all have to be heroic to be considered men. In the literary works of Macbeth, Beowulf and Frankenstein; there are countless cases where one could distinguish between monsters and men. But they all belong to different genres. Macbeth is the story of a tragic hero; the fallen one or the man who has brought misery upon himself. The monster can be identified as guilt. This guilt grew stronger and stronger and led him to become his own worst enemy. Beowulf is an epic about a hero (men) who takes on great challenges and adventures. His worst enemies are all the monsters that have taken place throughout history. Like: Grendel and his mother. This epic poem was created around the Anglo-Saxon period. And finally, Frankenstein is about a mad doctor who created a monster. The monster's name was not Frankenstein, but that of the doctor. That’s why the story is called “Frankenstein’s Monster.” All of these literary pieces are so cleverly plotted that it takes a while before you can tell the monsters and the men apart. Macbeth was a tragic hero. Traditionally, a tragic hero is someone who is born as an example of greatness but somehow along the way acquires a character flaw that causes their own unhappiness... in the midst of paper......the most envious monster because he doesn't have them. After finding Victor dead aboard Walton's ship, the monster goes further north with the intention of destroying himself and ending the suffering that Frankenstein began when he created him. It is now much clearer to understand the whole point of “Monsters and Men” or who these characters are. are. In these three amazing works of literature, it may not be easy to tell them apart, but their actions truly make them who they are. Like the monsters of Beowulf, they cannot be considered anything other than monsters; due to their characteristics. But in the case of Frankenstein's monster; the monster is only named monster. At first, he is as innocent as a newborn. These are the people who made it what it is. Everyone has good and evil within them, so no one can actually determine who the monsters and men really are..
