简介
或许以这个悲伤而恐怖的故事拍成的电影要比世界上由任何其他故事拍成的电影都要多。为什么有这么多的人喜欢它？因为当我们第一次读到它时，它就好像是出自我们梦中的记忆一样。
这是一个古老的故事，也是一个新的故事。说它“古老”是因为它创作于一百五十多年以前，那时的科学发展才刚刚起步；说它“新”是因为弗兰肯斯坦的问题也就是我们今天所面临的问题。科学给予我们力量去改造世界，但这种力量也可能与我们作对并毁灭我们。弗兰肯斯坦创造了一个新的人，他比任何其他人都要巨大和强壮——然而弗兰肯斯坦控制不了他，这个怪物毁灭了弗兰肯斯坦所爱的一切。今天的科学家正在创造着巨大的机器、电脑和武器，他们声称这些东西对我们有益——但我们能够驾驭它们吗？
玛丽·雪莱（1797—1851）是维多利亚时代的一位重要作家。她的丈夫是英格兰最著名的诗人之一——珀西·比希·雪莱。

…Captain！Something is moving on the ice．Look over there！?
The sailor stood at the top of the mast，high above the Captain．His hand pointed away from the ship，across the miles of ice that covered the sea．
The Captain looked to the north，where the sailor was pointing．He saw something coming fast towards the ship across the ice．He put his telescope to his eye，and through it he could see the shapes of ten dogs pulling a sledge over the ice．He could also see the driver of the sledge—a huge figure，much bigger than a man．The sledge came nearer and nearer to the sea．Soon it was only a quarter of a mile from the ship．No one needed a telescope now to see the huge figure of the driver．
Suddenly the sledge went behind a mountain of ice and disappeared．At that moment another sledge appeared．It，too，was moving fast，and was clearly chasing the first sledge．This driver was a smaller figure，more like an ordinary man．Faster and faster the dogs ran；then the second sledge also disappeared behind the mountain of ice．Two hours passed．The sledges did not appear again．Nothing moved on the ice．Soon night came，and in the night there was a storm．In the morning，the sailors saw that great pieces of ice were floating round the ship．Suddenly the sailor on the mast shouted again：…Captain，I can see a man on the ice．?
The sailor was pointing to a piece of ice that was floating near the ship．A man was sitting on the ice，and near him was a broken sledge．The man was nearly dead from cold and could not walk．The sailors carried him carefully onto the ship，and took him to the Captain，who said：
…Welcome to my ship．I am the Captain and my name is Robert Walton．?
…Thank you，Captain Walton，? the man said．…My name is Frankenstein，Victor Frankenstein．?
Then he fainted and said no more．
Two days passed before the man was strong enough to talk and then the Captain asked him to tell his story．
…I am trying to catch someone，? said Frankenstein．…That is why I have come so far north on the ice．?
…We saw you following someone，? the Captain said．…He was huge，much bigger than a man．We saw his sledge just in front of you on the night before the storm．?
…I am pleased you all saw that huge figure，? Frankenstein said．…Perhaps that will help you to believe my story．?
During the days，while the Captain worked on the ship，Frankenstein wrote down his story，and each evening he read what he
had written to the Captain．
Here is Victor Frankenstein's story．
2
I was born in Switzerland，in the town of Geneva．My parents loved each other very much，and I learnt from the example of their love．I learnt that to love and to be patient are the most important things in the world．
My mother hoped to have a daughter after I was born，but for five years I was the only child．And then my mother found a sister for me．She was helping a family in which there were five children．They were very poor，and the children were thin and hungry．One of the children was a little girl，with golden hair and blue eyes Her name was Elizabeth．My mother took the little girl into our family，and Elizabeth became the daughter that my mother had always wanted．As I grew older，my love for Elizabeth became stronger all the time．Later my mother had two other sons，Ernest and William．A young
woman called Justine came to live in the house to help my mother with the children．We loved her as much as she loved us．
The years passed happily，and we had everything that we needed．At school I met another very fine person．His name was Henry Clerval，and he was very clever．My family also liked him very much，so he was a welcome visitor to our house．
I studied very hard at school．I wanted to know the secrets of life，and，most of all，I wanted to know how to make living things．I read all the books that I could find．One day，some－thing happened that added a new idea to the ideas that I al－ready had．I was fifteen at the time，and we were on holiday in the mountains．There was a wild storm，and with it came the most frightening thunder and lightning that I had ever seen in my life．About twenty metres in front of our house was a great tree．Suddenly a huge fork of lightning hit the tree．After a few seconds，there was nothing left of it except a black piece of wood two metres high．The lightning had destroyed it．
I saw how strong electricity was．I began to read all the books that I could find about electricity and its terrible power．

For seventeen years my life was very happy．Then the first sad thing happened．My mother became very ill，and soon she knew that she was dying．Just before she died，she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room．She held our hands and said：
…My children，I am very happy because you love each other，and because one day you will get married．Everyone in the family loves you，Elizabeth．Will you take my place in the family，my dear？I can die happy if you will look after them when I have gone．?My mother died，and we were very sad，because we loved her dearly Elizabeth was brave and helped us；her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother's death．
The time came for me to go to university．I did not want to leave my sad family，but we all knew that I should go．It was hard to leave，too，because the parents of my good friend Henry Clerval would not let him go to university with me．And so I had to go alone．
On my first day at the university I met my teacher，Professor
Waldman，who was one of the greatest scientists in the world．He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university．He ended his talk by saying：…Some of you will become the great scientists of tomorrow．You must study hard and discover everything that you can．That is why God made you intelligent—to help other people．?
After the professor's talk，I thought very carefully．I remembered the storm when I was fifteen．I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree．I wanted to use electricity to help people，and I wanted to discover the secrets of life．I decided to work on these two things．I did not know then that my work would destroy me and the people that I loved．
I started work the next day．I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist．The professor helped me very much，and other important scientists who were his friends helped me，too．I was interested in my work and I did not take one day's holiday during the next two years．I did not go home，and my letters to my family were very short．
After two years I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was better than anything in the university．My machine would help me answer the most important question of all．How does life
begin？Is it possible to put life into dead things？To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death．I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them．In the hospital and in the university，I watched the dying and the dead．Day after day，month after month，I followed death．It was a dark and terrible time．
Then one day，the answer came to me．Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life．I knew that I could put life into a body that was not alive．
I worked harder and harder now．I slept for only a short time each night，and I did not eat much food．I wrote to my family less often．But they loved me and did not stop writing to me．They said they understood how busy I was．They did not want me to stop work to write or to see them．They would wait until I had more time．They hoped to see me very soon．
The professors realized that I was doing very important work，and so they gave me my own laboratory．There was a small flat above the laboratory，where I lived，and sometimes I stayed inside the building for a week and did not go out．
Above the laboratory I built a very tall mast．It was 150metres high，and higher than the tallest building in the city．The mast could
catch lightning and could send the electricity down to my machine in the laboratory．I had never forgotten the lightning that had destroyed the tree．There had been so much power in the electricity of that lightning．I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead．
I will say no more than that．The secret of my machine must die with me．I was a very clever scientist，but I did not realize then what a terrible mistake I was making．
4
In my laboratory I made a body．I bought or stole all the pieces of human body that I needed，and slowly and carefully，I put them all together．
I did not let anybody enter my laboratory or my flat while I was doing this awful work．I was afraid to tell anybody my terrible secret．
I had wanted to make a beautiful man，but the face of the creature was horrible．Its skin was thin and yellow，and its eyes were as yellow as its skin．Its long black hair and white teeth were almost beautiful，but the rest of the face was very ugly．
Its legs and arms were the right shape，but they were huge．I had to
use big pieces because it was too difficult to join small pieces together．My creature was two and a half metres tall．
For a year I had worked to make this creature，but now it looked terrible and frightening．I almost decided to destroy it．But I could not．I had to know if I could put life into it．
I joined the body to the wires from my machine．More wires joined the machine to the mast．I was sure that my machine could use electricity from lightning to give life to the body．I watched and waited．Two days later I saw dark clouds in the sky，and I knew that a storm was coming．At about one o'clock in the morning the lightning came．My mast began to do its work immediately，and the electricity from the lightning travelled down the mast to my machine．Would the machine work？
At first nothing happened．But after a few minutes I saw the creature's body begin to move．Slowly，terribly，the body came alive．His arms and legs began to move，and slowly he sat up．The dead body had been an ugly thing，but alive，he was much more horrible．Suddenly I wanted to escape from him．I ran out of the laboratory，and locked the door．I was filled with fear at what I had done．
For hours I walked up and down in my flat．At last I lay down on
my bed，and fell asleep．But my sleep was full of terrible dreams，and I woke up suddenly．The horrible thing that I had created was standing by my bed．His yellow eyes were looking at me；his mouth opened and he made strange sounds at me．On his yellow face there was an awful smile．One of his huge hands reached towards me…
Before he could touch me，I jumped off the bed and ran downstairs into the garden．I stayed there all night，but I could not think clearly．I was afraid．And when morning came，I went out into the town and began to walk about．
I did not notice where I was walking，but soon I came to the station．A train from Geneva had just arrived，and the passengers were leaving the station．One of them ran towards me when he saw me．It was my dear friend Henry Clerval．
He was very pleased to see me．He took my hand and shook it warmly．
…My dear Victor！? he said．…What a lucky chance that you are here at the station．Your father，and Elizabeth and the others，are very worried about you，because you have not visited them for a long time．They ask me to make sure that you are well．And I have very good news．My father has agreed to let me study at the university，so we shall be able to spend a lot of time together．?
I was very happy to hear this news，and for a moment I for-got my fears．I took Henry back to my flat and asked him to wait outside while I went in to look．I was afraid that the creature was still there．But he had disappeared．At that time I did not think of other people，and what the creature could do to them．I took Henry into the flat and cooked a meal for us．But Henry noticed how thin I was，and that I was laughing too much and could not sit still．
Suddenly he said：…My dear Vic tor，what is the matter with you？Are you ill？Has something awful happened？?
…Don't ask me that，? I cried．I put my hands over my eyes．I thought I could see the horrible creature there in front of me．I pointed wildly across the room，and shouted：…He can tell you．Save me！Save me！? I tried to fight the creature，but there was nothing there．Then I fainted and fell to the floor．
Poor Henry！I do not know what he thought．He called a doctor and they put me to bed．I was very ill for two months，and Henry stayed and looked after me．His loving care saved me from death．
I wanted to go home and see my family as soon as possible．When I was well enough，I packed my clothes and books．All my luggage was ready，and I was feeling very happy when the postman arrived with some letters．One of the letters ended my short time of happiness．
5
The letter was from my father in Geneva，and this is what he wrote：
My dear Victor，
I want you to know before you arrive home that an awful thing has happened．Your dear youngest brother，William，is dead．He was murdered．It happened last Thursday evening when Elizabeth and I and your two brothers，Ernest and William，went for a walk outside the city．William and Ernest were playing．William had hidden from Ernest，and Ernest asked Elizabeth and me to help find William．We all began to search for him，but we couldn't find him．We searched all night．At five in the morning I found him．He was lying on the grass，white and still．I could see the marks of fingers on his neck—the murderer had strangled him．
Elizabeth had let him wear a gold chain of hers round his neck．On the chain was a very small picture of your mother．We all think that someone murdered William to steal the gold chain．Poor Elizabeth is
terribly unhappy at William's death．She thinks he died because she let him wear the chain．Hurry home，my dear Victor．You are the only one who can help Elizabeth，and we all need you．
With all our love，
Your Father
Henry helped me to catch the train．The journey seemed very long，and it was late at night before the train reached Geneva．I decided to spend the night in a village outside the town and go home early in the morning．I wanted to see the place where William had died．As I started my walk，a storm broke and lightning lit the sky．The police had put posts round the place where the murderer had strangled William，so I found it easily．I cried sadly as I stood there．My poor brother had been a kind and happy boy，and we had all loved him．Again the lightning lit the sky，and I saw a huge figure standing in the rain．When I saw it，I knew at once what it was．It was the creature that I had made．
What was he doing there？But although I asked myself the question，I knew the answer．He had murdered my brother．I was sure that I was right．
I decided to try and catch him．But as I moved，he ran to－wards the mountains．He ran much faster than any man．He climbed the
mountain easily，reached the top，and disappeared．
I stood there in the dark and the rain，and knew that I had created a monster．And he had murdered my brother．
6
At first I decided to tell the police my story．But would they believe me？I had been very ill．When the police learnt about my illness，they would think the monster was just one of my bad dreams．I decided that I could not tell anybody．
I went home to my family and they were very pleased to see me．Then they told me that the police had found the murderer．Perhaps
you will think that this was good news，but I have not told you who the police had arrested．
As I went into the house，I noticed that one person did not come to meet me．It was Justine，the young woman who looked after the children and who was like a sister to us．And it was Justine that the police had arrested．
A few days after the murder，the police had searched the house and had found the gold chain in Justine's coat pocket．Everyone in the family knew that Justine had not murdered William．I knew who the murderer was，but I could not tell anyone．We were sure that Justine would be free after the trial，because nobody could believe that she was a murderer．But we were wrong．
The trial did not go well for Justine．There were a number of strange facts that were difficult to explain，and the judge decided that she was the murderer．The punishment for murder was death．We argued and cried．We said she could not murder anyone．But nothing could change the judge's order．
So I got up early and went to the judge's house and told him about the monster．He did not believe me．He thought I was lying in order to save Justine's life．
In the prison Justine waited quietly for death．We spent many hours
with her，and she spoke calmly and kindly to us．She was happy because we believed that she had not killed William．And she was almost looking forward to death，be－cause then she would be with William and our dear mother in a place of peace．
Her love and gentleness added to my great unhappiness．I knew she was going to die because of me．I knew my brother had died because of me．I had brought nothing but sadness and misery to my family．
I took a boat and went out on Lake Geneva．Why didn't I end my life then？Two things stopped me．My father was old and another death would probably kill him．And I had to stay alive—to keep my family safe from the monster．
Fear for my family and hate for my monster were with me day and night．I became ill again，and Elizabeth's love could not help me．I needed o escape for a while—to leave my unhappiness behind me．So I went to walk alone in the Alps．I hoped the wild beauty of the mountains would help me．
Slowly I became calmer among the beautiful mountains．I learnt to sleep again，and for days I did not see anybody．Then one morning I saw a figure coming towards me faster than any man could go．It jumped easily over the rocks and I saw with horror the monster that I had created．On his face was a look of deep sadness，but also of evil．At
first I could not speak be－cause I hated him so much．But at last I said：…You are an evil creature．I shall kill you if I can，because you have killed two people that I love．?
The monster's yellow eyes looked at me．…I am the unhappiest creature in the world，but I shall fight for my life，? he said．…I am bigger and stronger than you，but I will not start the fight．I shall always be gentle to you because you are my king and creator．You made me，and you should love me and be kind to me，like a father．William and Justine died because you did not love me．Why did you create me if you were not ready to love me？?
…We are enemies，? I said．…Leave me now，or let us fight until one of us is dead．You are a murderer．How can I be kind to you？?…You say I am a murderer，? the monster said，…but you want to kill your own creature．Isn't that wrong，too？I ask you to do one thing for me—listen．Come with me to a warmer place，and listen to my story．Then you can decide．?
I thought carefully about what he had said．It was true that I had given him life but I had not given him love．I decided to go with him and listen to his story．
He took me to a mountain hut where he lit a fire．We sat down by the fire and he began to tell me his story．
7
After I had left the laboratory，I escaped into the country outside the town．I soon felt hungry and thirsty，and my first food was fruit which I found on some trees near a river．I drank from the river and then lay down and went to sleep．
At first my eyes and ears did not work very well，but after a while I began to see and hear clearly．
One day，snow began to fall．Of course，I had never walked in snow before，and I found that it made my feet very cold．I realized that I needed food and a place to get warm．Soon I saw a small hut where an old man was cooking his breakfast over a fire．When the old man saw me，he shouted loudly and ran away as fast as he could．I did not understand what the man was doing，but I wanted to be near the fire．So I sat down in the warm，and ate the man's breakfast．Then I walked across empty fields for some hours until I reached a village．I went into one of the houses，but there were children inside．They began to scream when they saw me，and their mother fainted．The whole
village came to see what was the trouble．Some of the people ran away when they saw me，but the others shouted and threw stones at me．They wanted to kill me．I was badly hurt，but I escaped and ran into the open country．
Later，I found an empty hut，which was built against the wall of a small house．I was afraid to go into the house after what had happened in the village，so I hid in the hut．There I was safe，and could escape from the cold，and hide from people who wished to hurt me．And then I found that there was a small hole in the wall between the hut and the house．Through this hole I could see in－to the room next to the hut．Three people lived in the house—a beautiful girl，an old man，and a young man．
Day after day I watched the three people．I saw how kind they were to each other．I wanted so much to go into the house and be with them，but I knew I must stay in the hut．I could not forget how the village people had hurt me when I tried to go into the house there．
Each night，after the people in the house had gone to bed，I stole some of their food for myself．But soon I realized that the old man was blind．And I realized too that often the three of them did not have enough to eat．I saw the two young people put extra food on the blind man's plate，although they were hungry themselves．
《弗兰肯斯坦》读后感 《弗兰肯斯坦》被认为是世界第一部真正意义上的科幻小说。小说揭示了作者玛丽雪莱的观点：她认为人具有双重性格——善与恶，长期受人嫌恶、歧视和迫害会使人变得邪恶，乃至发展到不可收拾的地步。 它讲述了一位名叫弗兰肯斯坦的科学家自少年时期潜心研究自然科学，将尸体拼接起来，用电流赋予它生命，却在最后发现创造了一个拥有可怖外表的怪物。在恐慌与无措中，他选择了抛弃。怪物开始自己探索世界，起初它以善意对待世人，甚至因知道自己的丑陋而把自己藏了起来，暗中帮助他喜欢的一户人家，结果在小心翼翼袒露身份的那天却遭到鄙视与唾弃。渐渐的它开始仇恨这个世界，这股愤怒驱使他杀死了弗兰肯斯坦的弟弟和新娘。它失去了所有，它也不再顾虑或期待，用小说原文来说，它就像一股不受限制的飓风，将死亡带给弗兰肯斯坦的家庭。最终弗兰肯斯坦死去时，怪物也宣布它的复仇结束了，接着消失在冰原中。 对于这本书，我最感触的是怪物在与它的创造者重逢时说出的这句话“我本性也是仁慈的、善良的，都是痛苦让我变成了魔鬼。”细想一下，是什么让当初用好奇的眼睛捕捉周围一切的怪物变成了杀戮狂魔？是它所处的环境啊。即使它拥有一颗善良的心，可是人们一看到它的脸就躲避、尖叫，甚至拳脚相加；即使它的初衷是救助溺水的女孩，最终只得到了一颗冷冰冰的子弹。世界的冷漠剥去了它内心柔软的外壳。它也想过变好，可是怪物承受了太多人类的恶意，悲剧不断重现，最终彻底浇灭了它的希望。 而其创造者弗兰肯斯坦创造怪物的初衷是为了让人们免于死亡，因为他的母亲，一位善良可爱的女士，死于猩红热。他明明成功复活了死亡，却因此陷入无尽的悲痛与折磨。我认为弗兰肯斯坦就是人类的一个代表，他代表着自我矛盾。 可以说世上本没有怪物，但自从世上出现了人，怪物也就出现了，因为人本来就是怪物。某位大家曾说过：“人类为什么可以统治地球，那是因为没有任何生物可以比人类更残忍。”异想天开的弗兰肯斯坦无法接受自己创造的怪物，残忍地将其抛弃，造成了无法挽回的悲剧。现实中，往往我们的无情与冷淡无意间就会让我们自己成为弗兰肯斯坦，想想，社会上那些相貌丑陋亦或身体残疾的人群人们都得到了平等对待么？玛丽?雪莱可能就是要告诉我们善 待同类的同时也要善待异类吧。否则人类也终将会因为自己的残忍毁灭自己。 高三（4）班黄一文6号

简介 或许以这个悲伤而恐怖的故事拍成的电影要比世界上由任何其他故事拍成的电影都要多。为什么有这么多的人喜欢它因为当我们第一次读到它时，它就好像是出自我们梦中的记忆一样。 这是一个古老的故事，也是一个新的故事。说它“古老”是因为它创作于一百五十多年以前，那时的科学发展才刚刚起步；说它“新”是因为弗兰肯斯坦的问题也就是我们今天所面临的问题。科学给予我们力量去改造世界，但这种力量也可能与我们作对并毁灭我们。弗兰肯斯坦创造了一个新的人，他比任何其他人都要巨大和强壮——然而弗兰肯斯坦控制不了他，这个怪物毁灭了弗兰肯斯坦所爱的一切。今天的科学家正在创造着巨大的机器、电脑和武器，他们声称这些东西对我们有益——但我们能够驾驭它们吗 玛丽·雪莱（1797—1851）是维多利亚时代的一位重要作家。她的丈夫是英格兰最著名的诗人之一——珀西·比希·雪莱。 1 ‘Captain！Something is moving on the ice．Look over there！’
The sailor stood at the top of the mast，high above the Captain．His hand pointed away from the ship，across the miles of ice that covered the sea． The Captain looked to the north，where the sailor was pointing．He saw something coming fast towards the ship across the ice．He put his telescope to his eye，and through it he could see the shapes of ten dogs pulling a sledge over the ice．He could also see the driver of the sledge—a huge figure，much bigger than a man．The sledge came nearer and nearer to the sea．Soon it was only a quarter of a mile from the ship．No one needed a telescope now to see the huge figure of the driver． Suddenly the sledge went behind a mountain of ice and disappeared．At that moment another sledge appeared．It，too，was moving fast，and was clearly chasing the first sledge．This driver was a smaller figure，more like an ordinary man．Faster and faster the dogs ran；then the second sledge also disappeared behind the mountain of ice． Two hours passed．The sledges did not appear again．Nothing moved on the ice．Soon night came，and in the night there was a storm．In the morning，the sailors saw that great pieces of ice were floating round the ship．Suddenly the sailor on the mast shouted again：

读后感之《弗兰肯斯坦》 1818年出版的长篇哥特小说《弗兰肯斯坦》(《科学怪人》)算是最早的科幻小说了。 小说最初是由书信体开始，主人公沃尔顿带领船员往北极去探险，在路上给姐姐写信，叙述见闻。中途遇到落魄的维克多弗兰肯斯坦，将他带到自己的船上。接下来就开始了弗兰肯斯坦以第一人称开始的自述。 弗兰肯斯坦原本生活在瑞士日内瓦，热衷于科学，好奇生命的原理。在外国学习期间更是在老师的指导下对于生命的研究充满热情。他逐渐明晰了生命的原理，并且利用死去的人的肢体拼凑、创造了一个生命。结果当这实验结果成型，他却感觉到恐惧、恶心。 “在那半明不灭的微光里，我看见那生灵睁开了呆钝的黄色眼睛，吃力地呼吸起来，有了生命的手脚也开始动弹，像是抽搐。我怎样才能描述自己在这巨大的祸害面前的感受呢?“他逃走了，后来在朋友的陪伴下回到实验室，”怪物“已经不见了。 接下来便开始了弗兰肯斯坦的悲惨遭遇。他先是生病，被恐惧攫住，生怕自己制造的怪物出现在眼前。几个月
后病情好转，回到瑞士家里，却发现自己的弟弟已经遭遇不测，他明白是怪物的报复，但无法说出口;一个好姑娘因此被判死刑。弗兰肯斯坦陷入深刻的痛苦和自责。经常一个人游荡，在途中发现了怪物的足迹。他压抑自己的痛苦和恐惧，听怪物讲述了自己的经历。 怪物讲述自己如何被抛弃，因此而痛苦不堪。他离开弗兰肯斯坦，躲避人群。当他发现一个贫穷瞎眼老人和他的一对子女后，为他们的生活而感动，便在暗地里观察并且帮助他们，从他们身上学习语言，并期盼某一天能得到他们的友情。终于有一次他出现在那瞎眼老人的面前，对他倾诉衷肠，结果那老人的子女出现以后，对他又是惊惧又是厌恶。怪物理想破灭，愤恨离开。怪物希望弗兰肯斯坦能够再创造一个同伴，一个女人，这愿望一旦满足，他声称自己便要与同伴远离人群。 他的讲述一时使得弗兰肯斯坦犹豫了。 “记住，我是你制造出的生命，原因是你的亚当。可如今，我倒更像是你的堕落天使了。你不乐见我幸福，想让我滚蛋。可我并没有办错事呀。我随处所见都是幸福，只有自己被关在门外，幸福不起来。我满怀善意，也很驯服，可厄运却把我变成了魔鬼。“ 弗兰肯斯坦答应了怪物的要求，于是便又离家，找寻
Love Created the World After reading Frankenstein, I have a deep thought. Frankenstein gave birth to the monster, but he was then scared to serious illness after the first look of him. And the good-natured monster with that hideous face began to doubt his existence, hate himself and lost himself in the road of revenge after so many times of heart broken. Is Frankenstein wrong? I think he is. He has an extraordinary talent and enthusiasm in natural philosophy, and can even create life, but when his creature opened his eyes and gave him a big smile, he didn’t feel happy at all! “How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form?”He refused to acknowledge everything, refused to comprehend him, even refused to see him again and ran away. The essence of life is truth, goodness and beauty, even if he is not a man actually. It isn’t his fault born to be hideous, how can people cruelly kill his soul? When the monster tells his story, even if he tells it in a peace emotion, I can fell that his heart is crying. Everyone has the right of happiness except him. No one want to comprehend him, or even talk to him just because something he can’t change, his hideous looking. Even his angel, the family he has secretly be with for over a year is afraid of him, beat him and drive him away after they saw him. He is lonely without any care, he is good without any reward. The only thing he has, is a broken heart. When a warm heart begin to grow cold, when a bright hope begin to get dark, when the monster’s last hope, having a female creature like him, is destroyed, he turned into a cruel and ferocious person. After killed William, frame Justine, killed Clerval and Elizabeth and then Frankenstein, he found that he is not happy at all. His dying monologue gave me quite a big shock. “ when I first sought it, it was the love of virtue, the feeling of happiness and affection with witch my own being overflowed, that I wished to be participated. But now that virtue has become to me a shadow, and that happiness and affection are turned into bitter and loading despair, in what should I seek for sympathy? I am content to suffer alone while my sufferings shall endure; when I die, I am well satisfied that abhorrence and opprobrium should load my memory. Once my fancy was soothed with dreams of virtue, of fame, and of enjoyment. Once I falsely hoped to meet with being who, pardoning my outward form, would love me for the excellent qualities which I was capable of unfolding. I was nourished

Frankenstein The novel ”Frankenstein”, which was written by Mary Shelley, is about a creature produced by a scientist. Shelley started writing the story when she was 19. At the age of 21, this book was published. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. When I saw the cover picture of this book, I felt a little fearful, but I still looked forward to reading it. The novel began with explorer Robert Walton traveling to the Pole. He found a man frozen in a block of ice on the way. The man, Victor Frankenstein, told the crew his life story. He had a happy childhood, and he was crazy about natural philosophy and chemistry and basically tried to play God by creating life. When he found the secret of activating dead flesh, he created a monster. Although it was all made by good materials, but it became something ugly. Then he found the monster missing. When the monster was born, he loved the world very much. He hid in the mountains and learned to use fire. But because of his appearance, he became disgusting in everyone’s eyes. When he knew that his only master abandoned him, he was so disappointed to this world that he began to kill his master’s family one by one. Victor finally found the monster. The monster told Victor his experience, and demanded of Frankenstein a female mate who he can be with until his end, and promised to live away from society. Victor made the second monster, but quickly destroyed it. As return for him breaking the promise, the monster killed Elizabeth on the wedding night of Victor and her. From then on, he chased after the monster, and finally he was discovered by the cr ew on Robert’s ship. There victor ended his story, and died in front of the men. That same night, the monster entered the room where victor laid dead. Finally, the monster scampered into the ice fields. In my opinion, the causes of this tragedy are the society and the scientist. If a person is hated, he will become evil and do something wrong. After being treated so badly and unfairly, the monster killed many people for revenge because of the cold society. I have an opinion that we’d better do what we ca n to be kind to other people, which is beneficial to all of us. To sum up, what a great story!
【摘要】玛丽·雪莱的小说《弗兰肯斯坦》，通过在传统的哥特式小说的基础上加入现实主义及科学幻想的要素，进入到哥特小说发展的一个崭新阶段，并且对现代文学的发展变化有着深远的影响。 【关键词】哥特；创新；科学幻想；新阶段 玛丽·雪莱是英国十九世纪上半期著名女作家，浪漫主义派的著名诗人波西·比希·雪莱的第二个妻子。她生于英国伦敦，是英国哲学家、小说家威廉·戈德温和著名女权运动家玛丽·戈德温的女儿。她于1814年随同雪莱前往欧洲大陆，并于1816年与雪莱结婚。婚后雪莱夫妇常与英国著名诗人拜伦和散文家、诗人利·亨特等人交往。在拜伦的建议下，玛丽·雪莱开始了文学创作，并于1818年正式出版了她的第一部也是最重要的一部作品《弗兰肯斯坦》(或称为《现代的普罗米修斯》)。这部作品取得了很大的成功，此后《弗兰肯斯坦》不断地被改编为戏剧和电影。此外还为英语添加了 一个新的单词Frankenstein。 一、《弗兰肯斯坦》的背景介绍 在这部小说中，玛丽·雪莱带领读者进入了一个充满恐怖气氛的世界。小说主人公弗兰肯斯坦是一位从事生命科学研究的学者，他力图用人工创造出生命。在他的实验室里，通过无数次的探索，他创造了一个面目可憎，奇丑无比的怪物。开始时，这人造的怪物秉性善良，对人充满了善意和感恩之情。他要求他的创造者和人们给予他人生的种种权利，甚至要求为他创造一个配偶。但是，当他处处受到他的创造者和人们的嫌恶和歧视时，他感到非常失望。他憎恨一切，他想毁灭一切。他杀害了弗兰肯斯坦的弟弟威廉，他又企图谋害弗兰肯斯坦的未婚妻伊丽莎白。弗兰肯斯坦怀着满腔怒火追捕他所创造的恶魔般的怪物。最后，在搏斗中，弗兰肯斯坦和怪物同归于尽。 作为玛丽·雪莱的代表作，《弗兰肯斯坦》一书在哥特小说的发展过程中占有极其重要的地位，并且对现代文学的发展变化有着深远的影响。哥特(Goth)一词最初来自于北欧条顿民族中哥特部落的名称。到了18世纪后期，哥特一词成了一种新的小说体裁的名称。作为浪漫主义文学的一个特殊流派，评论家们称之“黑色浪漫主义”。它所谓的“黑”，主要表现于两个方面：在情节上，它极力渲染暴力与恐怖；在主题思想上，通过揭示社会、政治、教会和道德上的邪恶，揭示人性中的阴暗面来进行更深入的探索，尤其是道德上的探索。哥特小说通常是以古堡、废墟以及荒野为背景，故事往往发生在过去，尤其是中世纪，这也成了这类故事衍生的经典时代；故事情节恐怖刺激，充斥着凶杀、暴力、复仇、强奸、乱伦等字眼，甚至常有鬼怪精灵或其他只能用幻觉和臆想来解释的超自然现象出现；小说气氛阴森、神秘而恐怖，充满悬念。如果我们仔细研究这些哥特小说，我们会发现，它们全都是关于光明与黑暗、善与恶之间的冲突。从基督教的观点来看，这种冲突归根结底是上帝与魔鬼之间的永恒冲突。而这种光明与黑暗、善与恶、上帝与魔鬼的冲突是哥特小说最突出、最普遍、最持久的主题，它贯穿了哥特小说发展的整个历史。而充满神秘色彩的情节；令人恐怖的情感氛围；幽暗、危机丛生的自然环境；一位温柔、脆弱的女主角和一个恶棍则成为哥特小说区别于其他文学类型的五个传统特征。 二、《弗兰肯斯坦》对哥特小说发展方向的影响 长久以来，由于《弗兰肯斯坦》中所表现出来的阴森、神秘、恐怖的气氛以及充满凶杀、暴力和悬念的情节，它一直都被归类于哥特小说。但同时《弗兰肯斯坦》又被看作是现代科幻小说的鼻祖。因为，它无处不透露着作者对科学与世界、科学与人类这一严肃主题的关注。对于它究竟是哥特小说的代表还是科幻小说的先驱，文学评论界一直众说纷纭。那么，我们是否可以认为《弗兰肯斯坦》一书既充满了传统哥特小说的基本特征，又通过注入新的因素从而改变了哥特小说的发展方向呢? 玛丽·雪莱深受传统哥特小说的影响，《弗兰肯斯坦》一书就是这种影响力的结果。小说根植
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein still stokes our fear of apocalypse, bad science and corruption. As a new documentary looks at its cultural legacy, Philip Hoare explains why gothic remains a perennial theme. 玛丽·雪莱所著的《弗兰肯斯坦》一书至今仍能引发我们心中对于世界末日，科学灾难以及腐败的恐惧。通过新式纪实视角来看待文化遗产，菲利普·霍尔对哥特体为何能成为经久不息的话题作出解释。 Gothic remains a perennial theme but never more so than today. Why so? For one thing, the gothic imagination of writers such as Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoke is so vividly visual that it is eminently adaptable into 21st-century media – from cinema to TV to video games. Also it reflects teenage angst – Shelley was just 17 when she wrote Frankenstein. 哥特体确实仍然流行，尤其是在当今时代。为何？首先，像玛丽·雪莱，埃德加·爱伦·坡，布莱姆·斯托克这些作家凝聚了哥特式想象力的作品都具有生动的画面感，而21世纪的媒体能完美地将之展示出来，如电影，电视及游戏。再者，哥特式文体能宣泄青少年的焦虑——雪莱创作《弗兰克斯坦》时年仅17岁。 But it also reflects deeper contemporary fears of the apocalyptic and the macabre: of bad science and corrupt power. It reflects dark times, too, and offers escapism from austerity or insecurity – a safe, containable way to be scared. 哥特体也反映了更深层次上当代人对于末日与死亡的恐惧，恐惧感来自科学灾难或是腐败势力；同时重现了黑暗艰辛的年代，并让人暂时忘记现实的苦难与不安——人们得以在哥特式作品营造的虚假的灾难中，安全且舒适地体验恐惧感，而不必真正对事实感到担忧。Like Moby-Dick and Wuthering Heights, Frankenstein is a unique, sui generis work, born of obsession. It feeds on sensational, science-fiction elements to make subtler points about our essential disconnect with nature. It's why Shelley's image of the Creature – as much pathetic as it is terrifying – is invoked ever more often in contemporary culture and a world in which science and technology appear to be stealing a march on the species that created them. Commentators evoked Frankenstein when the Japanese tsunami broke open the Fukushima nuclear reactors. 像《白鲸》和《呼啸山庄》，《弗兰克斯坦》是一部独特而自成一格的作品，创作灵感产生于妄想，依靠感性、科幻的元素从更加细腻的角度叙述出我们与大自然的背离。这也是为什么，雪莱笔下描绘的这个令人既同情又恐惧的生物，在当今时代中可以引发更多共鸣。因为当今世界的科学与技术也有逐渐“反哺”它们的创造者的趋势。当日本海啸引发福岛核电站爆炸时，时事评论员便联想到了《弗兰克斯坦》。 What is extraordinary is that all this was the product of the mind of a woman barely out of girlhood. Storms attended her life: from her illicit start as the bastard child of the revolutionary writers William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, to the climatic catastrophes in the year of her birth and that of her novel, which coincided with a volcanic eruption that darkened the skies of Europe and America. "She entered the world like the heroine of a gothic tale," Shelley's biographer, Emily Sunstein has written, "conceived in a secret amour, her birth heralded by storms and portents, attended by tragic drama, and known to thousands through Godwin's memoirs". 更值得注意的是，《弗兰克斯坦》全部来自于一个女人在少女时代的想象。雪莱的生命一直伴随着灾难：首先，雪莱是两位伟大的作家威廉·戈德温与玛丽·渥斯顿克雷福二人见不得人的私生子；再者，雪莱出生的那一年发生了气候突变，她的小说发布的那年恰巧还碰上一场造成欧美两大洲上空黑云笼罩的火山爆发。“她就像哥特式故事中的女英雄一般降临人世。”雪莱的自传作者，艾米丽·桑斯坦曾写道，“雪莱的出身隐藏于一段秘密的奸情，出生伴随着灾祸与凶兆，成长过程时有悲剧情节，而这一切还是通过戈德温的回忆录为世人
