http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/maryshel/birth.shtml Victor Frankenstein and the creation of the monster are well received and analyzed by Kim Woodbridge in her essay. According to her numerous insightful references and examples I would have to agree with analytical points that Kim Woodbridge made on the birth of the monster. She vastly covers the idea that man has over stepped their bounds. Frankenstein over steps his bounds when he sought to create life through unconventional means, tinkering with lifeless limbs and organs and the “new” discovery of electricity, much like how Prometheus over stepped his bounds in defying the gods and granting fire to humanity. She also touches on the lack of responsibility and how it can have dramatic and dire affects on a child. Abandonment plays a very large part in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and the birth of the monster. The eight foot abomination innocence is wrecked and twisted into a hateful vengeance once his father figure abandons him. The monster isn’t truly a monster till is sadness transforms him into a zealous creature seeking to find meaning for his suffering. The nourishment that the monster craved was not provided because; Frankenstein was horrified and confused by his creation as it was not as he had planned. His lack of responsibility was the prime catalysis in the monster’s creation, which was one of Kim’s main points.
