Frankenstein Jr.



Mary Shelley raised a very important topic to people, “accept or be accepted in the society.” While I was reading this story I realized that the world of who is not accepted is very dark, and it happens everyday in every place nowadays. The creature is a clear example of living a nostalgic life being not accepted by the society, therefore this story is so dark and gloomy.
This is what I learned when i read this story, we should learn to live with others in society as social beings we are. At the same time, I realized that I am not a close minded person who tends to separate someone because of his/her differences. I am an open minded person and I am able to tolerate “different people.” This is not about someone strange that does not belong to a social group, this means to find new worlds with this peoplo who is different to our customs and around, especially people who is abandoned by his/her family because of hi/her differences. These differences provoke Franky to live a social-rejection and, thus, a self-rejection which left Frankenstein grow up and understand his own world.
Although, he found a family which one he felt they were his real family, he was rejected by them, and fro the people who appear later. Franky lived a hell on his abandonment and rejection from the people and society. I think this is what Mary Shelley tries to emphasise in her story, about social issues, rejection, abandonment, and so on. And, nowadays, if we discussed this story’s issues it would be very interesting in terms of realizing what kind of people we are and if we like that, especially, if we, as teachers, could discuss these kind of topics with children, and it would be very helpful for their feelings and thoughts about themselves and for and with the world.
