Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Negatively Affected By Society

Superior Essays
Society can have a huge impact on people’s lives. Whether it is the new trends that influence people to dress a certain way or to drive a certain car, society impacts everyone in one way or another. Sometimes society has a harsh impact on people’s lives. Teenagers can be sucked into society’s standards and feel as though they are not pretty, athletic, creative, or smart enough. This can put them in a dark place that is hard to get out of and can ruin lives. Adults can also be harmfully affected by society. Adults who have lost their jobs or have gotten a divorce can see themselves as failures compared to others in society. Again, these are dark situations that can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel while going through them. …show more content…
This is an example of how a lack of nurture can provide people with a monstrous nature. A father’s love can influence how a child can interact with his peers. According to Ronald Rohner and the University of Connecticut, “Parental rejection may be expressed behaviorally as a lack of affection toward the child, as physical or verbal aggression, or as neglect” (164). He goes on to say how this rejection can influence the children. Rohner says, “Many studies have concluded that children with highly involved fathers, tend to be more cognitively and socially competent, less inclined toward gender stereotyping, more empathic, psychologically better adjusted, and the like” (165). This relates to the novel …show more content…

    In the 1831 edition of Frankenstein, Mary Shelly informs that Frankenstein had a glorious childhood; his parents were well praised, possessed by “the very spirit of kindness and indulgence,” and Frankenstein highlights his gratefulness of having a welcoming family. However, his appreciation and gratitude were directed towards his parents’ supple behavior. From the start of the novel, Shelley sought to state that Frankenstein was in good hands and that he was sincerely grateful. Frankenstein was born in Geneva; and when he was five, his mother, Caroline Beaufort Frankenstein, and he traveled to Italy, and adopted a young girl, Elizabeth Lavenza. This is a significant moment; because it is at this period that Elizabeth is flabbergasted at the “wondrous scenes which surrounded our Swiss home—the sublime shapes of the mountains; the changes of the seasons…the silence of winter, and the life…of our Alpine summers.”…

    When Victor meets his creature on the mountain, the creature expresses his dire pain and sorrow for his existence, stating that his “soul glow[s] with love and humanity; but [is he] not alone, miserably alone?” (69). He also takes refuge away from man toward “the desert and dreary glaciers” (69). Shelley depicts the creature as correlated to nature, as he struggles with a connection toward man due to his rejection. However, Shelley’s statement that the creature expresses his “humanity” within himself only further supports the belief that the creature is equal to man, so he does not understand why everyone despises him.…

Nature affects the creature exceedingly, turning his emotions in a complete 180°, in spite of being lonely. The creature is in comfort of the beauty of nature.…
