How Does Frankenstein’s Character Change as He Conducts Experiments?
As Frankenstein starts to conduct and indulge experiments, his personality and character alter from its original state. At first Frankenstein becomes so devoted to his work that he starts to isolate himself, feeling too determined for distractions. This makes him disconnected to those of which he loves, those who keep him calm and content. Without the crucial company of his peers, Frankenstein starts to get out of control, and even became slightly insane. His condition grew worse and worse, and as he interacted with the works of his most prized masterpiece, his first created monster, his insanity reaches a state of illness of which is indescribable. Through his experiments Frankenstein’s character is transformed from a well together man with contemporary values to the mad scientist so many stereotypes label him today.
The Role of Ethics and Morals Through Scientific Investigation
Scientific experiments and studies often push the limit of just action, and sometimes cross the line into an immoral and unjust level of investigation. It is unsafe to go past the just boundary, and doing so can cause damage far worse than the performer may have presumed. It is important not exceed these strict boundaries, but the trouble is that people cannot tell where these boundaries are. People are constantly asking “How far can we go until we do cross this line?”, “Is there even such a boundary?”. These questions are of the most controversial subject in scientific investigation. Some believe that there is never a limit of how far we go, for if it is humanly possible to reach a scientific area, why shouldn’t we be allowed to perform it. Others believe that it isn’t always ok to go somewhere or try something because of it’s potential damage and immoral traits it could impact on society. This argument has been going on since the beginning of scientific discovery, and is still being fought today. The battle is an endless fight, but one can only hope that, at some point in the future, our society can develop and agree on a boundary between just and unjust science.
