Write an argumentative essay that declares either Victor, the creature, no one, or both Victor and the creature, the real monster of the novel Frankenstein.
This paper will further utilize your skills in comparison/contrast, but with a clearly delineated argumentative bent. You will be analyzing throughout, but with a clear argument (your thesis) that you return to over and over. Make sure your arguments are logical and well-developed. I recommend one clear argument sub-point per paragraph, with lots of evidence to support it.

Additionally, you will want to make sure to incorporate into your essay plenty of counterarguments for the opposing perspective. Remember to utilize the skills you gleaned in class in this regard.
It should be very clear from the get-go (your thesis) who the monster is, and, most importantly, WHY. Your thesis does not need to be a mystery, as many of you were taught in high school.
It should be very clear from the get-go (your thesis) who the monster is, and, most importantly, WHY. Your thesis does not need to be a mystery, as many of you were taught in high school.
Your "why" needs to be spelled out and well-qualified (specific). It should be a "why" that you can back up with numerous examples from the novel itself in the form of quotes and paraphrases, as well as a why you can back up with examples from outside research.
You must incorporate your monster thesis notes (you will get more this forthcoming week) four times into the essay as well.
You need at least two outside sources, in addition to Frankenstein the novel. Your paper should have proper MLA citation and a Works Cited page. Failure to use MLA citation properly will result in a non-passing grade. Proofread for grammar errors.
Your outside sources must be scholarly sources, on topic. Think of articles written on Frankenstein, or the ethical dilemma presented in the book (so, philosophical or ethical science articles, etc). They may not be random websites or movies. They must be found via the library's database. There has been a ton of research on Frankenstein, so there should be no trouble finding sources, provided you budget your time and really dig for them.
One of your outside sources may one be the critical essays in the back of your Frankenstein book. The other you must find on your own.
Don't forget to cite your monster thesis notes as well as Frankenstein itself. This means you should have at least four critical sources listed on your Works Cited page total.
