    or autobiography. We can read it as an example of linguistic structures or rhetorical conventions manipulated for special effect. We can view it as a material product of the culture that produced it. We can see it as an expression of beliefs and values of a particular class. We can also see a work of literature as a selfcontained structure of words - as writing that calls attention to itself‚ to its own images and forms.

    In the book‚ “Frankenstein” by‚ Mary Shelley‚ the characteristics of being monstrous are not clearly defined. I believe Shelley wants to leave much of the interpretation up to the reader. Shelley illustrates the aspect of monstrosity with its many forms in the two opposing forces‚ Victor Frankenstein and his creature; it is however‚ in Frankenstein where the true monster of the story lies. Throughout the entire novel‚ the human Frankenstein thinks only of himself‚ while the supposed monster is

    Revolution/Enlightenment period to the monster and his body in Frankenstein‚ I argue that society’s knowledge of the monster is formed in one of two ways; one‚ through scientific creation or two‚ through social construction. Now‚ it is through (1) physical features which differ drastically from others or (2) immoral actions that one becomes a monster in their own society.
