  • Themes
  • Ambition: Victor's excessive passion for his selfish antics result in the death and destruction of those around him. Both Victor and Walton desired to transform the world around them and bring recognition to themselves for their accolades within the science realm. They were not able to foresee the consequences of their adventures because they were blinded by their end goals. Revenge: The monster that Victor created initially had a kind, warm, and understanding persona. However, after it was left alone and isolated by Victor, the monster decided to take revenge by destroying life, which was the opposite of what the monster was given. The monster was rejected by humans and wants to hurt those who hurt him.
  • Themes
  • Prejudice: Victor and the rest of society surrounding the monster was prejudiced to assume that the monster was evil and destructive. The monster was judged based on his exterior appearance, but they failed to see, at least initially, his kindness. The monster repeatedly endures hatred and rejection, which drives him to his feelings of hatred and revenge towards others.Lost Innocence: Victor is a classic example of innocence that was lost, as he was a young man on the brink of a successful adulthood. His passion to pursue uncharted experiments ultimately caused his own death and loss of innocence.
  • Fire Ice: Symbolizes Destructive PowerThe monster has an encounter with a flame and realizes it creates light in darkness. Prometheus also gave fire ability to people and then people were punished for it, like Victor. Water: Symbolizes Deeper KnowledgeThe water symbols in Frankenstein also represent destruction and the knowledge of such disasters. Water also represents ultimate fate, as water is seen many times throughout the story, which foreshadows the future destruction of Victor and his friends.
  • Symbolism
  • Lightning and Electricity: Symbolizes Nature's Great Power and Man's Attempt to Control ItThese symbols reflect a disastrous life and Victor proves how bad choices can lead to destruction and death. The lightning bolt is what brings the monster to life, and ironically lighning can also destroy. Adam: Symbolizes Creation of LifeJust like Adam was created by God, Victor created Frankenstein. Victor's actions indicate that he sought knowledge too fast and irrationally. The monster creation symbolically appears as Adam, but transitions to someone more like Satan.
  • Symbolism
  • The story of Frankenstein begins and ends at the arctic ocean at the site of Robert Walton's ship. The setting throughout the book embraces the locations of England. The book also occurs in places such as The North Pole, Germany, Italy, and several other neighboring countries. The era of this book is in the 18th century. Private tunnels, dark pathways, and vacant castles are frequently seen throughout the story.
  • Setting
  • The book Frankenstein reminds us of the significance of friends and family. We are also taught lessons that we should consider the consequences of our actions before we make decisions. Most often, damage results in events that cannot be undone. Additionally, this book is a great reminder that there is only one God. Man cannot attempt to replicate God's ability or the miracles that he created to make our world what it is today.
  • Personal Reflection
  • The novel Frankenstein is a very popular book and has sustained many years of success. I very much enjoyed reading this book and would definitely recommend it to my peers, friends, and family. There are many life lessons that one can learn from reading this book. The book is of the science fiction classification, and would especially be enjoyed by those who love fantasy and mystery. The characters are also very descriptively revealed and animated, and any reader would enjoy the variety brought about in their stories.
