During my reading of the novel Frankenstein
by Mary Shelley, thoughts of how Victor as a person, of how very
terrible he is and doesn't prove able to handle his own creations was
prevalent. For someone who defied society he reacted the very same. A few
themes stood out to me from the reading, the feel of darkness, Isolation, and
madness.
For starters with madness, I honestly feel like
the madness is defiantly within Victor, the notion of being able to create life
and able to experience it even though he frightens away from his own creation.
He then has the notion to destroy this creation who has gained human senses of
the world, feelings and experiences of nature and society. There is also a
sense of madness with the monster in the sense of him being furious towards his
creator who wouldn’t even take responsibility. As well as him killing those
close to Victor in an outrage against him.
Another
being Isolation and darkness which I feel go a little hand in hand. The monster
is subjected to Isolation as he flees Victor and any members of society and he
is left alone with himself. This is a sense of physical and emotional isolation
that plagues the 'Monster.' Here is where he begins learning of societal nature
as he wanders and awaits victor.
