How would you act and say in a fictitious trial of Victor Frankenstein is you were his monster?
Author: admin // Category: trialWe’re doing a trial of People Vs. Dr. Victor Frankenstein for a class project. The charges are as follows:
- Taking Science past the boundaries of nature
- Avoiding the responsibilities of a creator.
The trial is based off of the original novel, so no hollywood interpretations please!
I’d go crib the "I am A Jew" speech from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. As his monster, how could I object to "taking Science past the boundaries?" Wouldn’t such an argument be arguing for my own destruction? For that matter, the only "responsibilities of the creator" that I could see myself arguing for is that of Steinbeck’s East of Eden statements about having free will, give me permissions for "thou mayest go forth and do good: and I’d be ok with it.
