Blog #13 X-files

In this movie we saw many things to do with the Frankenstein Complex. The great M was made out to be this being that was raping women and filling Their house up with gas. But the truth was he was never truly shown what was right and wrong. Just like Frankenstein, he would cause harm but but didn't seem to know that what he was doing was wrong. I feel i would disobey if i had to live in a cellar and only eat peanut butter and jelly. The people in the town had a right to be angry but there was no reason to harm because it was the humans responsibility to teach someone right and wrong. The man who made the great M didn't realize the problems that came with creating a creature. I feel though that that was very irresponsible creating something and not giving it the knowledge of the real world. The great M didn't want to show his face in public but at the end he still knew how to converse and speak clearly. All he wanted to do was fit into society but the town didn't allow that. It also ties into our topic of xenophobia. Everyone was so afraid of how he looked that they just jump to conclusions about everything. When the man who created him was killed by the son, everyone blamed the great M because he looked different than others and didn't go out. No one realized what the great M was going through until it was too late and they accused him of something he didn't do.
