  • Essay / Knowledge Kills: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - 808

    Albert Einstein once said: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So that’s a lot. Knowledge can be good because it allows you to succeed. Then it can also be very serious, for example if a criminal is too smart for the police and can continue to commit crimes. Too much knowledge is dangerous because it can harm many people, meaning many die or remain scarred for life because of one simple man with excess knowledge. First of all, too much knowledge can cause someone to judge. Victor says: “How can I describe my emotions in the face of this catastrophe, or how can I describe the wretch I tried to train with so much pain and care? (Shelley 47). In this quote, Victor judges the monster from the moment it is born. Due to his monster appearance and without considering his personality, Victor judges him and thinks he is stupid, scary and evil. In this article it is stated: “Throughout Frankenstein, the reader is left with the feeling that Victor's obsessive desire to defeat nature, by creating another life, directly led to the many tragedies that befell him. » This means that due to his irresponsible judgment, his life begins to deteriorate. The monster is now constantly trying to ruin Victor's life, and he's doing a good job. Victor has way too much knowledge. bullying or making fun of others because of When we know too much about beauty and being smart, we just think because we don't have good clothes or aren't really smart just by its appearance. When we know everything, we tend to judge even though we know nothing about them. Additionally, when one has too much knowledge, one thinks that everyone else is beneath them. Judging is something others don't know they're doing, it happens, but being too smart can definitely land someone in the middle of paper...on one of them. I harm and kill many people, so knowledge should not be used without responsibility. It can make someone rich and successful, but not in a way you think they will be rich. Someone can always get rich in a bad way and that means you're usually not doing anything good. Too much knowledge is not good and it can really harm others. Works Cited “Comparison”. Tim Joséy.
