In Frankenstein, Mary Shelly writes what people would consider to be an outcast of the crowd. The Monster doesn’t look anything like the other people and because of this he is shunned. We judge one another by fault; taking what the world has shown us to be as “normal” or “right”. Together as a society, we have made people be abandoned from one’s self. People continuously judge one another on looks, interest, and IQ level. These norms that society has placed on us forces everyone to conform to what a select few consider to be right or “in” and in this instance when you don’t conform to what they say is right you end up being the monster.

This is a great example that looks do not define a person and that beauty runs much deeper than the

In this community there are different stages a person goes through while growing up. All citizens first start out as "littlies," or kids younger than twelve. Once over twelve the kids move to their own town, called Uglyville, away from their parents and are

Many people are so obsessed with fitting into social, beauty, or physical standards, that they do not think to accept themselves, or others, just the way they are. Humans have a tendency to reject or isolate those who are not perceived as perfect in their eyes, while in reality, not one person is absolutely flawless. Those who have more prominent or noticeable flaws tend to be pushed away, and that behavior is not fair at all. In the story “The
