Help please with frankenstein (1 Viewer)

[essjayhabibi]

My teacher gave us an essay to do and i haven't read the book yet while everyone else has finished. So i'm kinda behind. Plus, im shocking with essays. Can anyone please give me some notes or pointers ? Really appreciated.

The question is "Frankenstein" reflects many of the concerns of Shelly's era and also of her own personal life. Explain how this is done in the early part of the book."

THANKKS !

Lol yeah, that is a bit of an easy question... Also look at the use and abuse of power, the idea of exploiting nature, and maybe as an all encompassing point, the need for connection that ALL the characters have in the early part of the book. (Walton, Frankenstein, Elizabeth and the Monster). You should be able to get a decent essay out with all the points that have been mentioned above.

There's no substitute to reading the book yourself though XD For this essay, at least read up to Volume II.

jean-jacques Rousseau argued that man's nature was harmless, but men are made evil by society (comes thru on the creatures charactor, ie ""i was benevolent and good, misery made me a fiend", the way frankenstein was treated made him "evil")
