Scene Summary and Context
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the story unfolds in a Romantic era where nature, emotion, and individualism are emphasized. The narrative reimagines the classic fairy tale motif of creation and the consequences of playing god. The creature, often mistaken for a monster, is portrayed as a tragic figure seeking acceptance and understanding. Shelley invokes vivid descriptions of the natural world to contrast the creature’s inner turmoil, highlighting Romantic values of emotion and the sublime. Short phrases like 'alienation' and 'longing' are key to understanding the creature’s plight and are often used to evoke sympathy. The story challenges traditional fairy tale morals by blurring the lines between good and evil, emphasizing that monsters may be made by society rather than born. This reimagined fairy tale asks readers to reconsider notions of beauty, morality, and responsibility through its dark yet poetic narrative, set against the backdrop of the Romantic era’s fascination with emotion and nature.
