How does the play Frankenstein lead the audience to have sympathy/lack of sympathy for the Monster?
In the play of Frankenstein the audience has mixed feelings for the Monster as he has done many sympathetic actions in the play, but the Monster has also done many things to cause a lack of sympathy, although it may be thought that he was reacting to the human’s murderous doings. The audience may believe that it was Frankenstein’s fault of making a savage creature, but was this beast as terrorizing as people think?
Throughout the play the Monster has created a sympathetic atmosphere for the audience, as he said “The only l thing I knew was pain”, this may cause the audience to sympathize with the Monster. Although the Monster has done many terrorizing things to cause havoc during the play, as an example “The Monster leaps towards Elizabeth and seizes her by her throat” that action done by the Monster was thought to be murderous but we can still sympathize with the Monster as the audience may still believe that Frankenstein or other people may of caused his rage reacting to him to do these oppressive deeds. “Murderer! Destroyer! My bride-you’ve killed my bride” this concludes that the characters in the ply may of caused the Monsters rage of killing.
