Mutual Problems—
Throughout both novels, there are flaws scatter in both the
societies portrayed. In To Kill a
Mockingbird, the story took place in the South during the Great Depression.
It was a time when racism and discrimination was still prominent in the United States . African
Americans were not allowed to do many things with the rest of the white
society. African Americans could not vote and weren’t encouraged to associate
with the white society. It must have been a really hard time to grow up in as
an African American. I can imagine myself being an outlier in society were
people judge you based on stereotypes and your appearance, it is not easy
growing up in a bigoted neighborhood being the one that stood out. It is also
the similar case for the monster of Frankenstein,
the monster wandered throughout Europe and
it was the only hideous eight foot monster walking around. Abandon by his
creator, I have no difficulty understanding the way the monster felt. The
monster felt betrayed and angry that it was abandon by the one who had created
him and on top of that, everywhere he went were people scream with fear and
only to be shot and driven out of town by an angry mob. Both Tom Robinson and
the monster grew up in societies where they are so different in appearance that
they are not welcome in the location they reside in. The solution to both of
these problems would be that if only society would give Tom and the monster a
chance to establish a kind relationship with them It is only then that everyone
may live in peace.
