    The Romantic era took place throughout the 19th century and held the belief that men demonstrate innate goodness, but civilization later corrupts them. Even in today’s society, many political figures, authors, celebrities, and athletes reinforce the Romantic idea of the natural goodness of man and the corruption of man by civilization as they initially exhibit pure values that succumb to the temptations civilization provides.

The role of the parents is to inspire and guide their children's young and easily manipulated minds and set them on the right paths to become active and productive members of society. When this important role isn't performed to the best of the parents' ability, then their children have the potential to become "menaces" to the society they live in; their children will also pass on this fault to their offspring. This was what happened in Frankenstein. The negligence of Victor Frankenstein's parents towards Victor influenced his future role in society and caused Victor to be unprepared for when he had his own "child".…
