Meaning | Frankenstein | Joseph Huynh # 3


The Meaning behind Frankenstein—

Frankenstein is a novel that is about a sailors finding Frankenstein and he tells the story of what has happened, so basically the story is written through the point of view of a flashback. Frankenstein was an entertaining novel that also, like To Kill a Mockingbird, expresses a deeper meaning, moral, or lesson. The novel teaches that misunderstanding one another will lead to chaos. The death of the Frankenstein family was responsible for the misunderstanding of a creator and his creation. The novel teaches us that fear plays apart in people and their reactions. Society rejected Frankenstein because they were afraid of him and because he was hideous. The people did not give the monster a chance to prove to them that he is not evil but a creature that wants to be a loved member of society. Everyone needs to be loved and without that love, one cannot live through life properly and most of the time, they turn into something undesirable such as a murderer. To aid his loneliness, the monster asks Frankenstein to make a female monster to be its companion to repay for all the pain abandonment has brought him. Frankenstein agrees but halfway through the process, Frankenstein again becomes horrified and stopped making the female monster. He dumps all of the body parts in the water. The monster threatens that he will get his revenge at the Frankenstein’s wedding. It made me very sad that the monster couldn’t be satisfied or find enjoyment in his life. All in all, Frankenstein teaches us to give everyone a chance to make a first impression and that misunderstanding one another will most likely lead to unfortunate events.
