Frederick Douglass once said, “where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” We spend most of our lives reading or watching all the unfortunate things happening around us. We are so quick to judge and believe everything we hear or see. Life was the same back in the1960’s. People were more gullible and that’s because they believed what the wealthy or more influential people had to say.…

Explore the ways in which Shelley explores the transition of the monster between Chapters 11 and 17 In the beginning in Chapter 11, the monster is portrayed as an infant or a baby. “[He] knew and could distinguish nothing”, this demonstrates his lack of awareness for his surroundings mirroring the actions and mind-set of a new-born.

But if the outcome is bad, they easily pass the responsibility to others. Humans are prone to blame others for mistakes they make. A unchangeable mistake was made when Victor Frankenstein created a monster in Mary Shelley’s, Frankenstein.…
In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the line between good and evil is blurred as a result of acts of cruelty. Victor Frankenstein played God, and yet, abandoned his creature. His inhumanity shaped his creation and bred their mutual suffering. Their fate is sealed from the very first act of cruelty: as it is the true creator of monsters. Yet, there is no clear-cut victim or perpetrator between the two main characters.…
In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley talks about a monster, who transforms from an innocent individual to an evil person at the end. The entire story revolves around the monster and his creator, who abandons the monster at the time of monster’s creation.

Thus, Shelly comments on the idea of human nature being learned and not innate through her tale of the monster. I strongly believe Mary Shelley’s portrayal of the monster in the story depicts human transformation based on their experience in the society.…
