Introduction
In many stories that are not based on real events, the authors show evil and good aspects of the character or the general situation. Frankenstein and The Possibility of Evil are no exception to this rule as they have a piece of horror and allow us to learn specific things simultaneously. Every fiction carries an educative message, but the representation of good and bad can be interpreted differently.
Contrast
The main difference between the stories of Frankenstein and The Possibility of Evil is based on the evil aspect and the type of horror represented. While Frankenstein is represented as a horrifying selfish person, Miss Strangeworth sends evil mail without signing it (Jackson, 1965). The main difference between Frankenstein from Miss Strangeworth is in work and the influence on other people (Shelley, 1818). Frankenstein created a more serious evil by building a scientific creature and turning it into a living being.
Comparison
In both stories, the main characters raise social factors based on evil actions. For example, when Miss Strangeworth was writing a letter to Don Crane, she mentioned that some children are idiots but allowed the reader to understand that not all people are ready to have children when they cannot look after themselves (Jackson, 1965). In Frankenstein, the author also presented a parental abandonment to show how difficult it might be to raise new living begins (Shelley, 1818). Additionally, in both stories, the authors presented that people should stay tolerant of others and control their egos to avoid conflicts with their surroundings.
Conclusion
In conclusion, authors of fictional stories usually provide readers with positive and negative sides of personalities, and it is important to be able to retrieve important lessons from the negative experiences of characters. Frankenstein and The Possibility of Evil are different in types and meanings, but they are common in the same lessons aimed at readers, which help to build a general perception of the world.
