Frankenstein: The Story Of Mary Shelley's Life

Many people have read the book Frankenstein, but not everyone who has read it knows that their is a second story within the book. I am writing about how the book Frankenstein is actually the story of Mary Shelley's life. This topic is very important because without knowing this valuable information somebody would not know you are actually reading about Mary Shelley’s life. In this essay I will be writing about Mary Shelley and that how and by who she was raised by made her very different than other people of her time, what help she had from her friends in getting the book published, how she was not a good wife to Percy, and lastly how the story of Frankenstein is the Story of Mary Shelley’s life.

These beliefs even by today's standards are found to be very odd to me. Mary Shelley was not a good lady, but it was by no fault her of her

Sadly for Shelley, she never really knew her mother who died shortly after her birth” (“Mary Shelley Biography,” 2016). I believe that Mary Shelley’s life story is the story of Frankenstein. I think that Mary Shelley is the monster and that her father William Godwin is Victor the creator of the monster. Mary Shelley is the monster not because of her being a large scary creature, but because she is made up of many different beliefs that William Godwin who is Victor pushed on her and molded her into the troubled woman that she
