The novel //Frankenstein//, by Mary Shelley, has "search for knowledge" and "judgmental society" as two important themes. The intention of this essay is to analyse these two subjects and to show how they can be connected, for the fact that Frankenstein's creation is prejudiced by the society because Victor is extremely committed with his will of creating something new, and he did not think about its consequences.

PROFESSOR'S SUGGESTIONS (OUR CURRENT VERSION - 08/11/2011):

Two important themes in the novel //Frankenstein//, by Mary Shelley, are the "search for knowledge" and the "judgmental society". Victor's commitment to creating something new is extreme and reflects how this search is strongly present in the XIX century. The monster's misplacement in a judgmental society seems to be a warning of the possible negative consequences brought about by a naive search for knowledge.
