Belonging In Frankenstein

In the novel Frankenstein, the author Mary Shelley made various claims about Human nature, belonging, and, setting. One claim that Mary made about human nature was that the human population can be judgmental/neglectful and insensitive when it came to other being's feelings, this society can overlook a human beauty on the inside just because they aren't so beautiful on the outside. Another claim Mary made was about belonging and how people tend to isolate themselves from the world when they don't feel a sense of belonging, Mary claims that everyone should feel warmth and love, so they don't become a wretched humans their whole life. The last claim Shelley made was about setting, Mary claimed that playing with God can lead to death. On pages

After the abandonment of love and warmth, the monster became filled with rage, anger, and neglect which leads him on page 109 to set the family's house on fire to let them know how it feels to be without. Mary Shelley believed that people will treat others badly when they don't feel that sense of belonging, For example, when Victor created the monster and didn't like the outcome of his creation, then abandoned the monster so the monster killed Victor's little brother so Victor felt somewhat of the same pain as the monster. On page 116 Victor and the monster talked about why the monster killed as much as he did but the monster claimed that it was Victor's fault for abandoning and that if he never did William and Justine would still be alive. The monster stated that if Victor were to create the monster a wife just as hideous as the monster himself so he felt like he belonged to someone and someone belonged to him due to him feeling

The setting is to develop the themes of isolation and the dangers of scientific ambitions. For example, the isolated landscape of the Arctic Circle, where the novel's climactic scene takes place, emphasizes the loneliness and desperation of the characters. The harsh and unforgiving environment also underscores the destructive consequences of a man's pursuit of knowledge. On page 116 the monster tries to persuade Victor into creating him a wife but Victor didn't want to do what the monster ruined/killed. When the monster finally convinces Victor he makes his way back home to spend 2 years creating another wretched beast mid-project Victor realizes that the monster deserves to be alone because of all the destruction he caused. Mary Shelley uses the plot to develop her theme of human nature and belonging by exploring the consequences of isolation and the dangers of scientific ambition. For example, the plot of Frankenstein follows the tragic storyline of Victor Frankenstein, who becomes increasingly isolated as a result of his obsession with creating life. The monster he creates also experiences extreme isolation and loneliness which drives him to violence and
