Humanity is a curious thing. For a word that surveys a vast sea of possible definitions, human nature becomes a quality that is quite difficult to decipher. Nevertheless, there have always been fundamental observations and truths that stem from the human core. These observations are often manifested into simple paradoxes that best explain the human condition. For example, humans often hope for immortality, although they obsess with innovating new ways of destroying each other. Therefore, it is understandable for “humanity” not to contain clear-cut qualities, but to be an ambiguous and idiosyncratic collection of truths. Myriads of historical mediums and achievements throughout human history help better explain the essence of the human condition. One special case of these examples is found in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, in which a living being is reanimated from corpses and progressively becomes unhappy with new his newfound awareness and eventual self-imposed isolation. The novel delves into both Frankenstein (the creator of the being) and the Creature’s deepest musings in order to divulge and advert issues surrounding humanity. Throughout the novel, the author emphasizes many underlying qualities conclusive of the human condition, which include the primal duality of appearances, the intrinsic quality of self-consciousness, and the innate extremes of revenge and guilt.
