Family Values in Frankenstein Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein portrays what can happen when a human being tries to play God. Victor Frankenstein is a very smart scientist that succeeds in finding the origin of life and creates a human-like creature out of old body parts. Seeing the monstrous thing that he created, Victor leaves his lab hoping that the creature will run off and never be heard of again. The monster runs off and learns …

…that any person seeks, acceptance. The monster only wants to be accepted by someone that he can call his friend. He figures that his own creator should either befriend him or make a mate for him. He also tries to be accepted by the poor family in the cottage. But that falls through after they see the misshapen form of the monster. The monster never finds acceptance and dies in the mountains alone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
