For this piece of coursework I will be writing and comparing the strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with that of Merry Shelley's Frankenstein.
I will be comparing how each monster came about and the relation between thenIntroduction:Victor Frankenstein is a scientist obsessed with trying to create life and stop death, to do this he collects parts of the body from corpses and charnel houses.
When he has finally completed his human jigsaw he animates the creature using a powerful lightning storm. Shortly after the creature is animated and Frankenstein has completed his goal, he is shocked to find that his creature isn't what he planned.
Instead of creating eternal life, he created a monster which kills his family, and closet friends.
The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about a well-respected scientist of London who believes that separating the two men can become liberated.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Richard Mansfield was best known for the dual role...He succeeds in his experiments with chemicals to accomplish this and transforms into Hyde to commit horrendous crimes. Jekyll tries to relinquish the potion but cant so he takes his own life.
Comparison:Both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein tell tales of scientists abusing their creative powers to exist in another sphere where they cannot be directly blamed for their actions .Though Frankenstein's creation is a creature distinct from his creator while Dr. Jekyll transforms into Mr. Hyde ,the double of each protagonist progressively growsThe stories are very similar in the fact that both create a monster, though Jekyll releases the monster inside him, whilst Frankenstein on the other hand, creates a monster. Both monsters create havoc and there first target is a child. The difference though between the two monsters is that Jekyll created his being to commit such offences, but Frankenstein created his monster...
Errr....
This isn't that good. First off, It's Mary Shelley, not Merry Shelley (you say it as if she were drunk). Always refer to Authors/Creators by their last name. EG. "Shelley's Frankenstein". Secondly, introductions are unnecessary as they merely waste valuable essay time. Thirdly, there are a few grammatical errors (e.g. ...CLOSEST friends.).
Furthermore, there should have been a more extensive focus on the comparison between each creator and his monster because the idea is that in each case, the monster is a reflection of the creator himself. Hence, the idea of the "monster within" which I shall not go into detail as of now.
Also, talk more of themes (extend on the fact that they are isolated, obsessed, etc.) and possibly how the techniques convey this in each text.
Also, extended vocab wouldn't hurt. Use fancier essay wording. Portray, illustrate, depict.
Compare and contrast. that is, after all, the aim.
