My Frankenstein essay will be about parental neglect. Throughout the book, we are given many examples of times when Victor ignored or threatened his monster. Victor himself said that he knew about the responsibility parents have in raising their children and how they are responsible for how their child turns out, yet he runs away from and neglects his monster. Victor’s monster is like a child, and needed the support from Victor that he didn’t get.
The ethical dilemma with this situation is that people decide to raise a child. No one is forced to have a child or keep it for that matter. Putting a child up for adoption is always an option, and it is better than neglecting or abusing your child. The effects that it has on a child is devastating.
