Perhaps he was interested in the natural selection so he hasn’t had a concrete ideology of his idea.<br />At the elections you can select person behaviour like the personality of Lopez Murphy Ricardo or Lavagna Roberto. They are two men running for president. The men have a smart opinion of the country. Argentina’s inhabitants are thinking so badly of their country, but we have to avoid that opinion.<br />We can continue with Frankenstein’s story.<br />Victor Frankenstein is a young Swedish scientific who is interested in mystery stories and creates body parts taken from recently dead people. Then Victor gives life to the body and intents the creature to be beautiful but he finds it a monster and runs out of the lab in terror. He thinks the nightmare wasn’t there, but he was wrong. In my opinion Victor was wrong because his fantasy took really when he was a monster. When you are felling the nightmare it can disturbed your mind and mixing the fantasy with the real life.<br /><br /> <br />http://frankenstein.monstrous.com/frankenstein_story.htmmayrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04371580846035566956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938451181299216967.post-62083973120886380342007-10-29T05:10:00.000-07:002007-10-29T05:19:19.355-07:00GROUP 1 :<em><strong>Biography </strong></em><br /><br />Mary Shelley was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin in Somers Town, in London, in 1797. She was the second daughter of famed feminist, educator, and writer Mary Wollstonecraft. <br /><br />Her father was left with the responsibility of safeguarding Mary and her older half-sister, Fanny Imlay. He soon fell in love with her and married her, although his friends did not approve of the match. She also disliked the amount of attention that Mary, as the daughter of the two most famous radicals of the time, received from visitors to the Godwin household. She made Mary do many of the household chores, invaded her privacy, and restricted her access to her father. At the same time, Godwin allowed her to listen to the conversations he had with many of the leading intellectuals and poets of the day. They were the eyry of freedom, and the pleasant region where unheeded I could commune with the creatures of my fancy. It was beneath the trees of the grounds belonging to our house, on the bleak sides of the woodless mountains near, that my true compositions, the airy flights of my imagination, were born and fostered.<br />Mary died on 1 february 1851, at 53 years old in LondonUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938451181299216967.post-69821759856207469232007-10-27T19:50:00.000-07:002007-10-27T19:58:20.001-07:00Opinion about the play: Florencia Herbstein 2°M<span style="font-family:georgia;">First, I really enjoyed the play, I laughed a lot and it was very amusing. It seems to me that the central objective was to entertain the children in order to they didn't get bored and to teach something to them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">At first, I didn't like the idea of a "continuation" of the Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I thought that it'd better to see the "real" story that preservs the original spirit of Shelley. But, in my opinion the continuation was a kind of an infantile version of the original that was done to "catch" some of the basic "teachings" that the writer wanted to put in her story and more that Shelley didn't mentioned like "laugh at your fears".</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">The songs were excellent.

I liked it very much (I love comedies!) and I enjoyed the huge difference between this story and the original one; this one is like a parody because it's more modern... with Igor falling in love of Miss Blotcher, and the coquette Elizabeth, the mistery of the word "laboratory" (the strange and strong sound), the apparition of Homero Simpson!! And the salesman of body parts.<br />Also I liked all the songs.

After the success of Dracula with director Tod Browning and featuring new star Bela Lugosi, Carl Laemmle Jr., Universal Studios production chief, offered Whale his choice of some 30 Universal properties. Whale picked Frankenstein.<br />Casting the Monster was a challenge. In the developing screenplay he would remain mute, but he would be a complex person. They needed an actor of subtlety and range. Whale’s romantic partner, David Lewis (a film producer), suggested that Whale test an obscure but experienced character actor named William Henry Pratt, who went by the stage name Boris Karloff.<br />On meeting the 43-year-old actor, Whale was fascinated by his face and “penetrating personality.” The key to Whale and Karloff’s shared vision is that the Monster is a oversized newborn child, his lurching, loose-armed walk that of a toddler struggling to keep his balance.<br />Frankenstein was a run-away success, bigger than Dracula. Karloff became a superstar, and horror films grew from an occasional oddity to a full-fledged film genre, particularly at Universal.)The Hammer Frankensteins differ from the Universals in their lush color, their convincing 19th century costumes, and their fascination with body parts, living (female) and dead (male). Fisher's films form a sequence in their own right (only two of the Hammer Frankenstein films -- The Evil of Frankenstein, 1964, and The Horror of Frankenstein, 1970 -- were not directed by Fisher, and the latter was the only one that did not star Cushing). The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958), Frankenstein Created Woman (1966), Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) and Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1973) can be seen as extrapolation of Shelley's Frankenstein. <br />The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), ensured Hammer's future and was a landmark in the modern horror film history. Christopher Lee plays “The Creature” as a patchwork, brain-damaged man who moves like a broken puppet. The original Creature was pretty thoroughly destroyed in that first film; subsequently the focus of the Hammer series would be on Victor Frankenstein, superbly played by Peter Cushing. The films trace Frankenstein's ongoing experiments into re-animation and brain transplantation. The latter has become a murderous and increasingly monstrous rationalist.<br /><br />Parodies of frankestein<br />“Young Frankenstein " is a parody of the famous book and of the movie led by Boris Karlof.<br />The movie is in black and white.<br /><br /><a href="http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/55978/Young-Frankenstein/trailers">http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/55978/Young-Frankenstein/trailers</a><br /><br />integrantes: Romina, Andres, Melanie y Cindy<br />de las diviciones "a" y "b"romina, andres, melanie y cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08397504160123906445noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938451181299216967.post-30018652863670332262007-10-23T17:54:00.000-07:002007-10-23T17:56:47.716-07:00group 3 (Martina Schvarzstein, Nicole Aizenberg, Nicholas Damiko and Lautaro Benito)After being rescued from near death, Victor Frankenstein tells Robert Walton the story of his growing up in a warm Swiss family and his fascination with studying how life was formed. He was an amateur scientist who created a "perfect" human from spare body parts - only to have his plan backfire when the monster turned out to be extremely ugly and frightening.After observing a family living in a small cottage, monster Frankenstein had the courage to look for an invitation before getting rejected again. He looked for revenge of the person who created him.During his trip back to Geneva, Switzerland - the monster met Frankenstein’s younger brother and killed him for revenge. After his brother’s death, Frankenstein went back to Geneva and found the monster canvassing the same woods his brother was last seen, coming to the realization the monster was responsible for this brutal act. After a short trip to the mountains, the monster caught up to Frankenstein and ordered him to create a female monster from scratch for companionship. After agreeing, he scaped to England to start and scrapped the project , citing the possibility of more confusion. Knowing his days were numbered after Henry Clerval’s murder, he married his cousin Elizabeth only to find his new wife killed by the monster later.After paying a visit to the cemetery to meet with his fallen family members, Victor realizes that his life’s goal from that point forward was to hunt down the monster and kill him. Before, Victor already determines his fate and goes ahead with his wedding day, knowing the monster would catch up to him. Now, he planned to kill the monster to save humanity from his threat. Victor followed him all over Europe and the North Pole, where he temporarily loses track of the monster through a crack in the ice where he also meets Robert Walton and his crew. Ambitious, Victor gives a lecture on how glory was his weakness and the dangers of being too ambitious, citing "tranquility" as one of life’s goals.martina S ( 2 C )http://www.blogger.com/profile/16869148745941725902noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938451181299216967.post-53832966399873230192007-10-23T16:34:00.000-07:002008-12-10T01:16:44.890-08:00Group 4: Setting and characters (Ariana, Michelle, Martina and Tali)The narration is developed in the eighteenth century and takes place primarily at three locations: at Geneva (homeland of Dr. Frankenstein), in university and almost always in different forests and mountains, all isolated and dark places.<br /><br />The constructions in the eighteenth century were glum, dark buildings.<br />Art has a neoclasic or rococo stile.<br />In this time people communicated by letters.<br />And the transport were wheelbarrows, horses, carts, boat, an all the middle ages common transports.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbvlDIWsCHToSuS7478i-o-BWu2rM8oQtg6mbkayk9bTQVvbrkDVgiJ7q65T_uM21yb2UxR3YD5IoUd5oN-CnFIS9TXM2Y8X47o2ybD4pLUauSEYpHi3Oe5n9jhXxOzP9STVGkHY5VyAM/s1600-h/dama+siglo+18.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124680856598582482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbvlDIWsCHToSuS7478i-o-BWu2rM8oQtg6mbkayk9bTQVvbrkDVgiJ7q65T_uM21yb2UxR3YD5IoUd5oN-CnFIS9TXM2Y8X47o2ybD4pLUauSEYpHi3Oe5n9jhXxOzP9STVGkHY5VyAM/s320/dama+siglo+18.gif" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF-m4U7o-_HJHQ1qNJMLEllFbmCes-uUfmqxJTqkGGZETX-JDJzYgmi5toNMacAr4DoxMJIlkQaa5P8zorD4Dom4bvtRLW2FJeDFWKZ01ehJ7QauPOVZN63n1Xjpiq829uvCMmkw5NX3g/s1600-h/caballero+siglo+18.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124680693389825218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF-m4U7o-_HJHQ1qNJMLEllFbmCes-uUfmqxJTqkGGZETX-JDJzYgmi5toNMacAr4DoxMJIlkQaa5P8zorD4Dom4bvtRLW2FJeDFWKZ01ehJ7QauPOVZN63n1Xjpiq829uvCMmkw5NX3g/s320/caballero+siglo+18.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnjAg8Eq_Kaq5DULOSvGJ3i9YbCIWI54xgq0_9NLQs6lly1WimhgCn0-gRbr0pflpp_hxH3wdOhFkCfpuGzQwtdFzIg534jDnS282aYSEw930fTcA9Hh94_2qoii6ALgzNWCb1nMDBAuE/s1600-h/plastica_02[1].jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124680963972764898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnjAg8Eq_Kaq5DULOSvGJ3i9YbCIWI54xgq0_9NLQs6lly1WimhgCn0-gRbr0pflpp_hxH3wdOhFkCfpuGzQwtdFzIg534jDnS282aYSEw930fTcA9Hh94_2qoii6ALgzNWCb1nMDBAuE/s320/plastica_02%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Characters:</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong>Víctor Frankenstein:<br /></strong>The doctor Frankenstein carácter does very big changes during the story.

She was the second daughter of the political theorist, William Godwin, and the feminist educator, Mary Wollstonecraft, who died ten days after Mary was born. In 1801, William married Mary Jane Clairmont, who was cruel, and didn’t like her step-daughters. Mary’s father gave her permission to visit his library, which encouraged her to write her first poem "Mounseer Nongtongpaw", published when she was just eleven. In 1812, she met Percy Shelley, who was unhappily married to Harriet. They met again in 1814, and escaped to France, because there parents disapproved them. Percy was very self-centred, and paid more attention to Mary’s step-sister than he did to her. In February 1815, she gave birth to Clara, who died in March, and in January 1816, to William. That year, they travelled to Lake Geneva, in Switzerland, where one afternoon, Mary and some friends had a ghost-story writing contest. She didn’t have any ideas, but she heard the other stories, and that’s why one night, she had a walking dream that inspired her to write “Frankenstein”. In December 1816, after Harriet’s suicide, Mary and Percy got married, with their parent approval, and in 1817, she finished writing Frankenstein. Later that year, she gave birth to Clara, and one of her books was published anonymously. In 1818, Frankenstein was published. They moved to Italy, where Clara and William died, and Percy Florence was born.

He was an avid, amateur scientist who created a "perfect" human from spare body parts - only to have his plan backfire when the monster turned out to be extremely hideous and unappealing. During a brief study and recovery period with Henry Clerval, his closest friend, Frankenstein’s monster navigated the social scene for human friendship and was turned down again and again. After observing a family living in a small cottage, monster Frankenstein mustered the courage to seek an invite before getting rejected again. The last straw, he ventured out to seek revenge on the person who created him. <br /><br />During his trip back to Geneva, Switzerland - the monster met Frankenstein’s younger brother and killed him for revenge. After his brother’s death, Frankenstein went back to Geneva and found the monster canvassing the same woods his brother was last seen, coming to the realization the monster was responsible for this brutal act. After a short trip to the mountains, the monster caught up to Frankenstein and ordered him to create a female monster from scratch for companionship. After agreeing, he fled to England to start and scrapped the project midway, citing the possibility of further disarray. Knowing his days were numbered after Henry Clerval’s murder, he hastily married his cousin Elizabeth only to find his new wife killed by the monster later. <br /><br />After paying a visit to the cemetery to meet with his fallen family members, Victor realizes that his life’s goal from that point forward was to hunt down the monster and kill him. Prior, Victor already determines his fate and goes ahead with his wedding day, knowing the monster would catch up to him. Now, he sought to kill the monster to save humanity from his menace. Victor chases after him throughout Europe and the North Pole, where he temporarily loses track of the monster through a crack in the ice where he also meets Robert Walton and his crew. Ambitious, Victor gives a thorough lecture on how chasing glory was his Achilles heel and the dangerous of being too ambitious, citing "tranquility" as one of life’s goals.david kahansky 2°"D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13119113233667368974noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938451181299216967.post-43321766677844879012007-10-19T12:42:00.000-07:002007-10-19T12:54:26.642-07:00Group 2: The background<span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Mary Shelley wrote, when she was nineteen, “Frankenstein”, one of the most famous gothic novels of the times.

In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to Frankenstein's monster as "Frankenstein" (the name of the doctor who creates it).

Studying in Ingolstadt, Victor discovers the secret of life and creates an intelligent but grotesque monster, from whom he recoils in horror. Victor keeps his creation of the monster a secret, feeling increasingly guilty and ashamed as he realizes how helpless he is to prevent the monster from ruining his life and the lives of others. Victor Frankenstein (In-Depth Analysis) The monster - The eight-foot-tall, hideously ugly creation of Victor Frankenstein. Intelligent and sensitive, the monster attempts to integrate himself into human social patterns, but all who see him shun him. His feeling of abandonment compels him to seek revenge against his creator.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">The Monster - Robert Walton</span></strong> - The Arctic seafarer whose letters open and close Frankenstein. Walton picks the bedraggled Victor Frankenstein up off the ice, helps nurse him back to health, and hears Victor’s story. He records the incredible tale in a series of letters addressed to his sister, Margaret Saville, in England. <em>Robert Walton - Alphonse Frankenstein</em> - Victor’s father, very sympathetic toward his son. Alphonse consoles Victor in moments of pain and encourages him to remember the importance of family.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Elizabeth Lavenza</span></strong> - An orphan, four to five years younger than Victor, whom the Frankensteins adopt. In the 1818 edition of the novel, Elizabeth is Victor’s cousin, the child of Alphonse Frankenstein’s sister. In the 1831 edition, Victor’s mother rescues Elizabeth from a destitute peasant cottage in Italy. Elizabeth embodies the novel’s motif of passive women, as she waits patiently for Victor’s attention.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Henry Clerval</span></strong> - Victor’s boyhood friend, who nurses Victor back to health in Ingolstadt. After working unhappily for his father, Henry begins to follow in Victor’s footsteps as a scientist. His cheerfulness counters Victor’s moroseness.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">William Frankenstein</span></strong> - Victor’s youngest brother and the darling of the Frankenstein family. The monster strangles William in the woods outside Geneva in order to hurt Victor for abandoning him. William’s death deeply saddens Victor and burdens him with tremendous guilt about having created the monster.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Justine Moritz</span></strong> - A young girl adopted into the Frankenstein household while Victor is growing up. Justine is blamed and executed for William’s murder, which is actually committed by the monster.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Caroline Beaufort</span></strong> - The daughter of Beaufort. After her father’s death, Caroline is taken in by, and later marries, Alphonse Frankenstein. She dies of scarlet fever, which she contracts from Elizabeth, just before Victor leaves for Ingolstadt at age seventeen.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Beaufort</span></strong> - A merchant and friend of Victor’s father; the father of -Caroline Beaufort.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Peasants</span></strong> - A family of peasants, including a blind old man, De Lacey; his son and daughter, Felix and Agatha; and a foreign woman named Safie. The monster learns how to speak and interact by observing them. When he reveals himself to them, hoping for friendship, they beat him and chase him away.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">M. Waldman</span></strong> - The professor of chemistry who sparks Victor’s interest in science. He dismisses the alchemists’ conclusions as unfounded but sympathizes with Victor’s interest in a science that can explain the “big questions”, such as the origin of life.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">M. Krempe</span></strong> - A professor of natural philosophy at Ingolstadt. He dismisses Victor’s study of the alchemists as wasted time and encourages him to begin his studies anew.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Mr. Kirwin</span></strong> - The magistrate who accuses Victor of Henry’s murder.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">Setting:</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">The place: Geneva (Victor's home)</span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">The time: 18 century, we can't say the exactly year because in the letters the characters send each other there is no date, month or year.</span>brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08500814810788861115noreply@blogger.com2
