In “Frankenstein” the story is in Victor’s point of view and in “The Rebellious Robot” the story is third person point of view, so like an outsider looking in.

    population for large amounts of time. In many ways they are also different with the fact that one is created from dead body parts and the other is a human. I believe one of the two is a bigger monster. Clearly after analyzing the text written by Shelley, you can see Victor, the creator of this being, is a bigger monster. As I stated previously, there are a significant amount of similarities between these two characters. One that stood out to me was the fact that both wanted to make good in…

Those ideas that set us apart from others, that make us different. The ideas of Romanticism, Liberalism, and Nationalism are just as I have explained.
