From Being to a Monster: The Influence of Society in Frankenstein

 Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a classic tale of the dangers of scientific hubris. However, the novel also explores the role of society in shaping our identity. The monster, who is rejected and feared by everyone he encounters, is ultimately a victim of social alienation.

The monster is initially created with a good heart. He is curious and eager to learn. He longs for companionship and love. However, he is immediately rejected by society because of his appearance. People are afraid of him and they run away in fear. The monster is left alone and isolated.


This isolation has a profound impact on the monster's development. He becomes angry and resentful. He believes that he is owed something by society since he was created by a human being. He begins to lash out at the people who have rejected him.

The monster's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of prejudice and discrimination. It shows how our society can create monsters out of those who are different. The monster is not inherently evil. He is simply a product of his environment.
