Frankenstein Vs. Romanticism


The Emotions in Frankenstein is an accurate way of expressing Romanticism.
It usually happens when Victor Frankenstein’s interacts with human life and nature.
some examples of Romanticism and Frankenstein unite:
1)When he becomes interested by the “secrets of life”.
2)When he creates a need to attain the power God has of creating new life.
3)When he cuts himself off from the world and eventually commits himself entirely to an animalistic obsession.

Shelley reflects the idea of Romanticism by connecting nature and mankind.
“Storms come to complement feelings of wrath and terror; the sun breaks through during the peaceful interludes”
“When the sun had recovered its warmth, and the earth again began to look green, . . . I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure . . . and I even raised my humid eyes with thankfulness towards the blessed sun which bestowed such joy upon me”
At the start when they are being trapped by ice and surrounded by fog.
