Is apathy a problem’s today’s society?
Many believe that apathy is beneficial for one’s privacy and as such has no potential harm in today’s society. Therefore they accept passivity as natural attitude. However in reality, such indifference can bring about many problems as can be seen in both literature and history.
Mary shelly’s novel, Frankenstein, clearly portrays how apathy can in fact lead to the disasters. A creature of Victor Frankenstein, the protagonist, typifies an individual who is victimized by an indifference and attributes it misery to the creator (whose unrequited love leads to disastrous results for both his creator and itself) A creature is abandoned by its master at the moment of its birth. To make up for dejection, it wants to love and to be loved by the world at first. It patiently learns the human customs and repays for his learning by bringing foods and lumbers secretly to the teachers. It even tries direct encounters with the “ignorant teachers”, trying best to be welcomed. Nevertheless despite its sincere efforts it makes for people, it is rejected and severely hit because of its outlooks. It eventually realizes how profound the people’s indifferences toward it. Dejected and bereft, it only seeks a vengeance to its creator by slaughtering all the people he loves. The apathy it encounters and lives with was so unbearable to it, leaving nothing but the total animosity toward the world around it.
