What Is The Moral Of Frankenstein

The book Frankenstein by Merry Shelly implements different lessons and ideas. Throughout the story, we learn about how causes always end with their effects, with one leading up to the other. Many takeaways received from this book contain the overarching idea of isolation and its impacts, especially revenge. From the very start, the idea of creating life fascinates Victor. He wants to feel powerful, remembered, and worshipped, which ultimately leads to the creation of the “creature”. Bizarrely, the limbs of different corpses make up the creature. When the creature comes to life, and Victor gets a glimpse of his handcrafted creation, tremendously scared, he attempts to sleep and wakes up to nightmares, which then leads him to leave the house.

This enrages the creature, the way Victor talks about him, and what his creator wrote. Caught up in these feelings, he decides to reveal himself to Mr.Delacey first, while the other three go out, hoping that he will accept him, but the others return early. They then attack the creature they find themselves terrified by, and the creature disappears.
