Theme Of Society In Frankenstein

Society during the nineteenth century was not as stable as it is now. This was seen in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The author Mary Shelley, attempts to convey how society during this time period negatively affected people like herself and the characters in the novel Frankenstein. The novel is about a man named Victor Frankenstein who decides to create life after his mother had passed away. Victor succeeds and brings a creature to life using human limbs and scientific methods. However, he then regrets making the creature and abandons it expecting it to die. As years passed, the creature still alive learns how to read and write, but the monster faces rejection by society because of its hideous appearance. The monster then seeks revenge
