Relationship between Virtuality and Reality Imagine when you go to a grocery store to buy toothpaste. Will you buy the brand which often shows up on TV commercials or the one that you have never heard of but with lower price?

Frankenstein’s relationship with Elizabeth has a clear parallel to his monster’s desire for companionship. Despite Frankenstein’s seemingly love-struck diction‚ he has always viewed Elizabeth as property.
