Pattern Of Nature In Frankenstein

The Pattern of Nature in Mary Shelley’s, Frankenstein.
In 1818, Mary Shelley published her book, Frankenstein. Shelley fell in love with a man named Percy Byshore Shelley. The two ran off to live the life they wanted together. The book she wrote was related to her child that unfortunately passed away two weeks after being born. Shelley’s book is about a man named Frankenstein. He was in search of knowledge and wanted to test himself by creating a creature he thought would later make a species that will adore and respect him. Unfortunately, the creature he had created was not up to his expectations. In the book, the characters are in search of something. Whether it would be friendship, knowledge, love, or freedom. Since the monster has a connection

It was made from different dead body parts that were stitched together. Therefore, Timothy (2016), suggests that nature is natural, and it is normative. Meaning it determines the difference between what is normal and abnormal. Even though the wretch is not natural, the monster has a desire to be part of nature. The monster wants to have a companion to talk, laugh, and live a happy life with: “[Frankenstein] an ‘organic’ artwork with a life of its own – imagine it as a physical body that gets up and walks out of its creator’s house to find its way in the world, whether its creator likes it or not” (Timothy, 147). The text shows that Frankenstein created the wretch with the intention to make an animated being that would appreciate and respect Frankenstein. The wretch had different plans once it had seen the natural world. Since humans and its own creator feared the wretch, it did not want to obey Frankenstein or do anything that Frankenstein intended it to

In the beginning, Frankenstein had an ambition to go beyond nature and create something that would be impossible. However, when he made the monster and it had woken up from its dead slumber, Frankenstein was startled and surprised because his work was hideous and did not meet his expectations: “I [Frankenstein] had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health… but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart” (Shelley 84). The text shows that Frankenstein is horrified and disappointed with his own work that he had a strong ambition for. Frankenstein believed that once he completed his work, he would be satisfied. This was not the case because Frankenstein going against nature and creating something unnatural did not satisfy him and instead made his life miserable. For instance, if Frankenstein had not created the monster. Then his dear friend Clerval would not have been murdered and he would not have to worry about the people that would cross paths with the monster. As he regrets giving life to an inanimate body, he runs from his own work and realizes that his life before creating the monster was what he wanted: “Clerval [a friend of Frankenstein] called forth the better feelings of my heart; he again taught me to love the aspect of nature,
