    The monster continually calls out for sensibility from the romantic. The monster has a desire for companionship, and implores of his creator to make him a being of his own species. The monster also desires to be accepted by mankind. The final way the monster displays sensibility is through his desire to learn. He displays his capabilities of learning at the beginning of his creation, and continues to grow throughout the novel. Victor Frankenstein shows the individualistic, mystic, and love of nature side of romanticism. He displays individualism through his desire to be his own creator. He also rejects the help from others, and strives on selfish ambition. Victor shows the mysticism, through gaining power of being his own god. Finally, he shows a love for nature, through taking the time to breathe and admire the beautiful countryside around him. Romanticism is concluded in the comparison of the two characters, and how similar their situations are. Victor Frankenstein and the monster both have a strong desire for love from others around them. They also show great passion for sympathy from others, which they do not necessarily receive. Their situations are unrealistic, and portray the case of non-neoclassicism. Both Frankenstein and the monster experience deep sorrow throughout the entire novel. This experience is heightened when the monster is denied a companion and Victor loses all of his loved ones. In the end, both Victor and the creature share their desire for friendship, which neither fully obtain, due to the circumstances of the rejection and bitterness. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, displays the aspects of Romanticism through Frankenstein and his creature; they display sensibility, individualism, love of nature, non-neoclassicism, and…

    Instead of standing up and taking the blame for creating the monster which ultimately led to the death of his brother, he lets the trial go on and lets Justine die for a crime she did not commit. Victor is more accountable for this death than Justine is because of everything he did to the monster to lead up to this moment. He created the creature and then left it all alone in the wild. The monster could obviously reason and wanted to harm his creator for his abandonment. As he was walking he heard that this man was related to Victor, killed him, and then planted evidence so that it looked like Justine had committed the crime. Victor refuses to take charge of his own actions and instead casts a gloomy fate on all of those close to him. His wife, Elizabeth, is killed later in the story right after they get married. Victor thought that the monster would kill him so he gets away from his wife. He then realizes the creature meant that he would kill his wife but he is too late and she has already been killed. He could have prevented Elizabeth from dying if he had informed her about his secret and given her knowledge that she could have protected herself…

    The feeling of revenge towards one another begins when Victor abandons his monster. Victor leaves him with nothing except one change of clothes and a pair of boots. The monster, with the brain capacity of an infant, has no one to guide or teach him how to speak, learn, write etc. Once the monster learns how to read, from watching the DeLacey family, he finds Victor’s notepad in the pocket of his jacket and discovers his creator’s thoughts on creating him. After reading his notepad, the monster plans to kill everyone who despises him for his hideous looks. Soon after the monster’s killings of Victor’s family members, Victor strives to gain revenge on the monster for his killings (Shmoop editorial team). Although Victor never gains revenge on the monster, the monster fulfills his revenge plan on Victor by killing his wife on their wedding night. “I shall be with you on your wedding night.” (Shelley, Mary, p. 149) presents the theme of revenge that Shelley is portraying throughout the book between the monster and Victor. Not only does Victor’s relationship with his creation spark revenge, but Victor’s mother also impacts the way Victor approaches his…
