Mary Shelley characterizes the characteristics of the romantic period in the novel Frankenstein. Most writings reflect the time period in which they were written, whether in the past, the future, or now. Writers or even social media followers can't help but write about political events, which helps describe the time period. It's not intentional, a writer can't help but include events or trends during the course of their novel. The Romantic period had an influence on the writing of the novel Frankenstein by Marry Shelly. The Industrial Revolution in the late 1700s was a time of great change. People moved to the cities and watched the rural countryside transform into one great monstrosity. This happened so quickly that the city could not keep up with the growth and living conditions in the city were atrocious. This change led them to rethink city living, the all-in-one scenario was no longer attractive. They saw the countryside as rural and beautiful, which made it very powerful and surreal. Literature used to be very predefined and boring, but now writers use everything that happens around them to create inspirations and let their imaginations run wild. This change during this period was known as Romanticism or the Romantic Movement. The Romantic movement is by far the most important literary period. This allowed the writers to act on their emotions and tell the story as it was not as it should have been. This new form of writing encouraged men and women of all social classes to explore the novel. Everyone felt involved, like they were part of the novel, they understood the emotion and the nature. People thrived on experiencing life and pursuing emotions, whether good or bad. This middle of paper emotion and imagination......how they responded to his kind ways. “I have sworn eternal hatred and vengeance to all humanity.” (p. 74) He is hated and therefore he will hate him too, even children hate him for the sole reason that their parents taught them to be prejudiced. “You are an ogre” “Hideous monster, let me go!” (p. 75) The monster begins to hate himself because he is what he is, an ugly, enormous, bestial evil. The monster becomes more and more human-like, leading to a terrible path of good and evil in the eyes of a beast. The monster loves nature, but as an anti-romantic, nature cannot love him back. “Nature has decayed around me, the sun has become heatless; rain and snow fell around me; mighty rivers were frozen; the surface of the earth was hard, cold and bare, and I found no shelter. (p. 73) Mary Shelley characterizes the characteristics of the Romantic period in the novel Frankenstein.
