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.
