Therefore In the case of Frankenstein, it can be argued that the concept of a monster was contrasted by society as society condemned the Monster for crimes that he wasn't the perpetrator for while only De Lacey, another outcast, didn't accuse him of being a monster. In certain ways, the opposite is presented in We Need to Talk About Kevin. Unlike the Monster, Kevin wasn't made out to be evil by the majority of people, but he wanted to be. With Kevin “they were determined to find something mechanically wrong with him- because broken machines are easier to fix”.Therefore Shriver is questioning whether society truly wanted to help children like Kevin, or they didn't know how to help them and therefore attempted to find a easy way out.
