Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 5 page paper discussing the individual and society as found in “Candide” and “Frankenstein”. Sociologists have outlined the various relationships which exist between the individual and society. Emile Durkheim for one believed that man was an animal with unlimited desires which could only be controlled by the moral guidelines and interactions given from society as a regulative force. On the other hand, Durkheim also argued for the rights of freedom of the individual and against the over restrictive conservatism which can corrupt society and its positive interactions. The ideas of the myth of freedom and myth of conservatism as working within man’s relationship to society are portrayed within the two literary works of Voltaire’s “Candide” in which a man who believes in freedom realizes that a life working within the conservative restrictions imposed by society is his only option for survival, and Shelley’s “Frankenstein” in which a creature created by man desires a role within conservative society but rather is forced to live outside of society, free, but without social interaction he leads of life of isolation and moral and physical decline. In both works, absolute freedom and absolute conservatism are myths, both susceptible to corruption and disappointment.
