【正文】 I was not even of same nature as man” (Shelley, 1996:194)During the monster reads the book Paradise Lost, Sorrow of Weter and Plutarch’s Lives. He often explodes “ Who was I? Where did I e from? What was my destination? These question continually recurred, but I was unable to solve them.” (Shelley,1996:200) these books makes him realize his identity of “ otherness” and strengthen his desire to make life more meaningful.Maslow believes that people cannot live alone in this world, and the needs of the heart is deeper than physiological needs. Everyone is eager to get a feeling of social existence and social acceptance, and only in this way can more deeply feel that the value of oneself and produce positive effect. Being Unaccepted by the Society The monster is a social outcast, at the beginning of his birth, he is suffering the aversion and rejection from the human society. Monster’s experience makes us see the terrible consequences and the root of human depravity is the oppression of social society. His cruel revenge is the performance of the distorted human nature which is suppressed by the society for a。 his character contained no pretension, but is sank deep. The disquisitions upon death and suicide were calculated to fill me with wonder. I did not pretend to enter into the merits of the case, yet I inclined towards the opinions of the hero, whose extinction I wept, without precisely understanding it.”(Shelley,1996:234)However, the monster’s determination to die is a degenerative life strategy. It is also a kind of rational regression. Because the monster confesses to Frankenstein’ remains deeply at last:” I should have wept to die。 and no whom could I apply with more fitness than to him who had given me life?” Then he begins to find his creator. His travels are long and the sufferings he endures intense. When he meets Frankenstein, he says to him “Oh Frankenstein, be not equitable to every other and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most due. Remember that I am thy creator。 my feelings were those of rage and revenge. I could with pleasure have destroyed the cottage and its inhabitants and have glutted myself with their shrieks and misery.”(Shelley,1996:136) After the monster sets fire to the house of De Lacey family, it marks the monster’s spiritual evolution begins to turn to the mental destruction. Seeking Help from the Father After De Lacey family move away, the monster thinks of his father Frankenstein. This is a kind of degradation. When a person suffers a setback or is frustrated by something outside, he will be eager to e back to the embrace of his family or his parents. The purpose of this kind of degradation is linked together with the parents’ embrace and mand. Those who want to stay in their parents’ embrace forever have a permanent dependency to the parents. Once leaving their parents, he will be full of unbearable anxiety. In De Lacey family, the father old De Lacey is amiable, the youth show filial obedience. This makes the monster also want to have a father. Just as he says “I was alone. I remembered Adam’s supplication to his Creator. But where was mine?” (Shelley,1996:105) The monster feels alone and depressed so much, especially after he finds De Lacey family that he loves very much leaves knows that they also disgust him for his ugly he decides to find his father who gives him life and then abandons him. “Now ,with the world before me, whither should I bend my steps? I resolved to fly far from the scene of my misfortune。 it gave me an insight into the manners, governments, and religious of the different nations of the earth.”(Shelley,1996:120) He also starts thinking about the rank, descent,and noble blood. “While I listened to the instructions which Felix bestowed upon the Arabian, the strange system of human society was explained to me. I heard of the division of property, of immense wealth and squalid poverty, of rank, descent, and noble blood.”(Shelley,1996:132) Thus he realizes that if a man has no status and wealth, he will be seen as “ a vagabond and a slave,doomed to waste his power for the profits of the chosen few!”(Shelley,1996:140)In addition, the monster has a strong ability of social munication. From his munication with old De Lacey, we can see that he pletely gets the ability to municate with other people. Moreover, the reader will not forget, when the monster persuades Frankenstein to create a partner for him, his ability of language and the ability of social munication are no less than his creator. The monster even participates in social labor. When the monster finds the youth spend a great part of each day in collecting wood for fire, to assist him, the monster takes the tools, the use of which he discovers in a short time, and brings sufficient homefiring for the consumption of several days. Later the monster also helps the family sweep the snow.2 The Monster’s Spiritual Destruction Change of the Monster’s Mind The monster is forced to be both “silent” and “invisible”. When he hears the pleasant songs of the birds and tries to imitate, his harsh voice fails his attempt. Because of Victor’s desertion and the villager’s hostile attitude, the monster has to isolate himself to bee the “invisible” man. The sharp contrast in voice and configuration between the monster and other people deflates the monster. As a toddler, when he gets a glimpse of himself in the mirror for the first time the monster sees his own figure in a pool. There is a metaphor that Jacques Lacan who is a famous psychologist employs to describe how a baby is seduced into believing she is a unity by the unitary image that is seen in the mirror, but as matter of fact, the image is only a deception. He or she, as a subject, enters the imaginary order, and es to view himself as a subject rather than a fragmented collection. And the baby starts to tell herself from “others”.
