Mary Shelly And Frankenstein Similarities

After reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, I noticed vivid similarities between Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Both characters have a desire to obtain knowledge, mostly about nature and they both find themselves to be lonely individuals. The most important aspect of the characters is that neither of them have motherly role models in their lives. In the beginning of the novel, we see that the Monster is portrayed as an evil being, further along we begin to see how the Monster and Victor resemble each other. The two themes that their similar traits bring up is Isolation and Death, which is directly correlates to one another. In this essay I will argue that Victor Frankenstein and the Creature’s similarities is what led to their demise.
