Christina Roth AP English Lit. Frankenstein Essay- No. 1 Problem Child: Frankenstein's life troubles In the end of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the wretch that the main character has become, dies miserably. In a tale of anguish, the reader is face to face with the problems surrounding Frankenstein after he meddles with the impenetrable force that is life and death. Frankenstein meddles, and hopes to create life, but he creates a transient existence of a horrible corpse. …

…in. Frankenstein neglects to take responsibility for his creation, abandoning him, resulting in the murder of his most loved ones as the creation's revenge. In his idealism, Frankenstein is blinded and is unable to foresee the drastic effects of giving life to a being that could never be entirely accepted by human society, that furthers the creation's vindictiveness. Lastly, consciously choosing to pursue his creation in vengeance, Frankenstein's sufferings- problems- are finally obliterated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
