Friendship The Key To Happiness

While reading the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley I became to question some important things in this novel and one of the topics that stood out to me the most and made me think about the most was the one about how is companionship the salvation for a man’s soul?. And what I have to say towards this topic is that I do agree I do think that companionship is the salvation for a man's soul because in the book frankenstein's monster when it was created and was able to go out he had no one even tho the monster was actually really nice but people around him thought he was bad just because of his appearance. Also frankenstein's monster asked frankenstein to make him a friend because he was so lonely not only …show more content…

Because people made him a cold hearted person in the end Frankenstein could have stopped everything and got him a friend but in the end that's not how it went but because of this they both ended up paying the price they both got hurt in the worst ways and why? because society turned them into people they weren't ever before and the only thing that could have changed this whole story into the better was if only they had a true companionship.

For these reasons companionship is the salvation for a man’s soul because you do need love and someone to be there for you no matter what , you don't need a lot of people to make you feel better but like in this frankenstein's novel it just proved to me that with just one person it can really make the biggest difference and friendship can really save you from the darkest of places and when you finally stop searching for that key the world just becomes a much better place and all because of someone's companionship and when u have finally succeeded you can finally unlock that world of
