Since, in means “not” and sense means “to feel,” this means that insensibility is when you are in the state of no feeling. You are unconscious and are not aware of what is going on. I used the Latin prefixes to figure out my meaning.

Using our knowledge of Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes can allow us to discover the meaning of unknown words when reading a text. In this case, if the prefix "in" means "not" and the word "sensus" means "to feel or perceive," then the word "insensibility" most likely means "unable to feel," and probably refers to someone who does not feel things very deeply.

Kay [80]

Southern Gothic is a genre with a mood that combines Southern details, such as small-town life, with terror or suspense. Unlike early gothic literature about vampires and ghosts, Flannery O’Connor and others began writing about the monsters around us in everyday life. A key characteristic of this genre is having deeply flawed characters. In “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” both the grandmother and The Misfit are deeply flawed characters for very different reasons. The Misfit is a murderer who seems to have been created by a failed penal system, while the grandmother seems like a proper lady at first, but turns out to be selfish, a racist, and ultimately gets her whole family killed. It is through these characters that O’Connor explores the theme of good and evil, and whether people are truly capable of change.

Did you find the resolution of Frankenstein satisfactory? Why or why not? (Frankenstein)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Yes, the resolution of the novel is satisfactory.

Victor's refusal to do his part of being a 'parent' to the creature is a grave mistake on his part. He should have been ready to take care of him and help him in his needs, however monstrous he may be. But by denying the love and care for his 'child', he is indirectly responsible for how the creature turned up to be, devoid of care, love, and humanistic qualities that Victor could have taught him.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley's gothic novel <em>Frankenstein</em><em> </em>tells the story of how a young scientist surpasses the normal conventions of science and gave life to a creature he will only despise and abhor. The story delves into the nature of humanity and how evil breeds and to beget evil deeds.

Victor Frankenstein's decision to abhor his own created being led to the monster retaliating against him. He began to torture and wreak havoc in his life, killing his near and dear ones. This, I think, is understandable for his own creator denounces and ignores him, leaving him alone in the world. The resolution of Frankenstein which is the death of Victor and his decision to leave everything behind to go up north is satisfactory. Victor, as the creator of the monster, ignores his duty of taking care of his 'child'. This is the parental mistake that will haunt his whole life, and in his case, destroy his world.

This resolution is satisfactory for, in his refusal to take care of his own 'child', he commits the grave mistake of being a parent. And for that, he deserves to suffer for all the wrongs that he had done on the creature, even the very sin of giving him life from the numerous dead parts of many people. If he wasn't ready to play his role of a parent and a creator, he shouldn't have done the deed of giving life to it.
