Frankenstein Nature Vs Natural World

173 Words1 Pages
In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, nature and the natural world play key roles in the development of both the story and the characters. Because the story revolves around the dangers of advancing science, Shelley employs nature as a powerful instrument that has the ability to restore humanity when man has become too reliant on the capability of technology and science. Victor Frankenstein’s fascination and dedication in the sciences lead him to violate the natural law and disregard his morals when he decided to create life in the most unnatural form. The destruction that resulted from his actions caused pain and despair on both parties, leaving Victor and the Monster to frequently visit the natural world in order to clear their minds and gain serenity.
