The Scottish Play.....

"Fair is foul and foul is fair
Hover through the fog and the filthy air."
Not much plot in that--so what have we learned about what this play will be about?

The Bride of Frankenstein

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9t6NHlPJHA

In this version of Frankenstein, Victor actually creates a partner for Creature. However, things don't turn out so well... You guys should watch the movie!

Creature's crimes

A couple of hours ago, an idea came into my head. It was about the Creature's crimes as the title says. In class, we talked about whether Creature was redeemable or not. Some people said that he continued killing knowing he was doing something wrong making it impossible to forgive him, and I just wanted to add to that.

Creature was never regarded as a human being and therefore he had no obligation to follow any human laws including the one saying that killing a human being is a crime. Humans couldn't call him a criminal or a serial killer because he was inhuman and he later became inhumane. What I'm trying to say is that Creature did not commit any human crime therefore he needs to be judged differently from how a normal serial killer would, but that fact is also pro the idea that creature=monster. That’s pretty much all. I just want to know what you all think about this fact. Feel free to contradict me if you want or add to it.

"I am your master--obey!"

Roman had an interesting point we underdevloped in class today: who is the master and who is the slave in Frankenstein?  What do you think?
