Stephen makes a somewhat insulting claim within his essay that we are all insane. This statement though is not one to be taken serious and is refering the wicked side of the human psyche.He blatantly voices his point of view when he states ,”The mythic horror movie...has a dirty job to do. It deliberately appeals to all that is worst in us”(King 11). This somewhat explains the grim satisfaction you may get when we see the horrific and bloody scenes depicted in horror movies.As we reflect back onto

Knowledge is defined as one’s understanding of a topic or information. By this definition, the acquirement of knowledge

However, the noble origins of the quest mean very little in the end as “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions” (St. Bernard Clairvaux). Just as his creation does, Frankenstein falls from grace and takes up the quest of Satan. After the murder of his bride and subsequent death of his father, Victor gives in to the darkness, until “revenge alone endow[s] [him] with strength and composure” (Shelley 140). He vows vengeance, promising the object of his rage torture and death (Shelley 142), just
