My Response
This criticism is adequate because it gives
insight into what originated the story (Shelley’s circle of friends). It also explains the current of influences in
this work. For example, the political problems of the time inspired Shelley to criticize the extreme rationalism of man. Hence,
Frankenstein, the rational man, erred in creating the monster that became his perpetual nightmare. This essay is also adroit
in giving a synopsis of the story and analyzing important incidents. One of these incidents is when the monster was learning
how to be human. This idea sheds light into the problem of “fitting in” in one’s society and the prices
that must be paid. Therefore, this essay explores the events and time period that provided the stage for Mary Shelley’s
greatest work.
