For as long as one can remember, Nature vs. Nurture has been an argument that has
always been debated. Some believe that people are the way they are due to their biological make- up. While on the other hand, others believe that people are the way they are because of their
experiences and what they have been through. Humans are like a mold of clay, experience is what
forms us. We need good and bad experiences to shape who we are. In Frankenstein, the creature is
the way he is due to his nature. He was raised as a completely blank slate, making him very
impressionable, also due to his lack of knowledge. Then when the creature ventured off, he began
to learn things, and became his own person. This makes the creature an excellent example …show more content…
Nature has more of an effect on people than some may
think. Not only does it effect how we act, but as well as it effects our brain and nervous system
which controls our internal homeostasis. “Temperaments are often regarded as biologically based
psychological tendencies with intrinsic paths of development. It is argued that this definition

villagers for a significant amount of time. He learned their ways, and taught himself based on what
the villagers were doing. This is a prime example of how we are formed from nature and society.
We can create our own intelligence by admiring and focusing on others. The creature taught
himself how to read, and how to form complete sentences, as well as other things just by studying
this family he grew to know. “She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed, her
head hanging down, and her pale and distorted features half covered by her hair” (Pg. 166). At this
point, the creature has gained a lot more knowledge and is learning the ways of the world, which in
return makes him turn into an evil character. He has just killed Victors beloved soontobe wife,
Elisabeth instead of Victor himself. The creature did this to get revenge on Victor for all he
