In the novel Frankenstein, an ingenious doctor tries to fight the laws of nature and create life. No matter what the odds, he continuous to try until he creates life. Reading a story of this “triumph” can be a great influence on the thinking of today’s society and the way we strive towards a better tomorrow. It brings to my attention that part of the doctor’s success was due to the fact that he never gave up, because he was passionate about what he did, a lesson we can learn from in today’s society.
In the research of today’s modern world, we are driven by necessity. The needs for a cure, the need for a better weapon then our enemy. This leads to many new discoveries, but only allows research in certain fields. I have figured out that true discovery, the greatest discoveries come from passion, not necessity. Frankenstein was fueled by passion, which led him to his monster; Newton was fueled by passion when he created the scientific theorem and his 3 laws. My understanding of this novel leads me to believe that for today’s world to achieve another great invention, discovery, or understanding, then we have to change to what drives us. Emotion is the doorway to discovery: Passion, hatred, anger, love. These are the things that steer us to greatness.
