Mary Shelley used this poem to show the freedom of one's future and the change(s) that will come with it. The poem also mentions one little thing such as a dream or a “wandering thought” can ruin a bigger idea. In the story, it was recently addressed that before the poem, “If our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might be nearly free”. This passage can be implying that the non-essential things in life are the things that poison us or make us change. The poem’s purpose in this part of the book is to amplify the speaker's last words of the paragraph that state, “...we are moved by every wind that blows and a chance word or scene that word may convey to us.”. It makes the message of “things will change” very clear to the

The obsessed search for knowledge, fame and fortune can often undervalue one’s life and become the main focus of their existence. In Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, she proves that obsession is a dangerous aspect of the human behavior, which always results in a negative outcome, this is mainly portrayed through the protagonist of the story Dr. Victor Frankenstein, because of Dr. Frankenstein’s obsessive personality he fails to recognize the affects of his scientific experiments which eventually lead to his and his family’s death.

Jack jumped off the top of the train, as a tall creature with razor teeth and red, snake-like eyes, chased him, going for the kill. They fought, but the creature was to quick, it pinned Jack, claws digging into his flesh.
The night was cold and gloomy, lights lit up the streets of London, the moons subtle glow reflected on small puddles left from the earlier rain.

Humans are social beings and as such we crave love, affection, and acceptance. These emotions are readily and traditionally given in a family. Family plays an instrumental role in the growth of a person and has an important impact on their social well being and mental development. In Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, we can see just how influential family is as family is one of the important themes in this novel. The cottage scene is an important scene in the novel as it demonstrates just how important family is to a person by documenting the creature and his examination of the De Lacey family; which is where he learned about society and just what family truly means.

Torin went to the bed to help the sobbing young woman. He covered the woman with a nearby shawl which laid on the table. While Torin comforted the traumatized blond woman, Kendrick untied the cords that bound Aileana to the wall and bottom of the bed. He used the corner of the bed covering to wipe her body that was covered with the creature’s semen.

Chapter 2 of Shelley's Frankenstein, describes the relationship Victor has with fellow sister Elizabeth. And his closest friend Henry Clerval. Between Victor and Elizabeth “Harmony was the soul our companionship” (Shelley pg 38). And even though they were indifferent they got along like two peas in a pod. Henry was a son of a merchant. Who read about romances and chivalry. The connection of reading brought them together.

Even after successfully killing the marlin, Santiago still manages to express admiration for the slain beast as he defends the remains against the great scavengers of the sea in the form

It was dark and without motion, then a sound. It was a boy, saying my name. “Maria, are you awake?” the boy said. I woke up, there, sitting next to me, was a boy who looked eerily similar to me. Same brown hair, green eyes, pale skin, we were even wearing the same outfit! “Who are you?” I asked. “Maria, are you kidding me, it’s Edward!” To which I gave a confused face, ‘I don't know any Edwards.” I said. “I’m your twin brother Maria! Man, you must have hit your head hard.” He said. “Ok, I guess that makes sense.” I replied. We sat there waiting for a few minutes in a dark, lifeless forest. Until, from behind some bushes, appeared a large and beautiful woman. She had blue skin and hair as well as a long flowing dress and a trident in each hand. When she saw us, she imediantly strapped both tridents to her back. I jumped up and hid behind Edward, because the creature was definently not human. The giant woman came up to me and asked me how I was doing. “What are you?” I asked. “Oh! I’m a spirit, your spirit. But, you call me Naide.” The giant woman said. “Do you not remember me?” she asked.

There I was, hidden behind an old surgical room window panel while thinking about all the things I would have been doing if I didn’t get sent here in the first place. I wasn't even ill, or that was at least what I thought. Click, Click, Click. What was that? Drowning in my own sweat inside a room that stenched with dried blood all over the place, I slowly perched my head over the broken glass to witness the most hideous creature possibly known to mankind. At first, I did not get a good look at what was after me. Now, it was only two feet away from me as it was staring into my soul. The creature had the figure of a human, but only with strange leathery skin with deformed characteristics. Last time I checked, asylums had mentally disabled patients, not deformed monsters trying to kill you.

Her large amber eyes gazed up at the skeletal creature, taking a moment to really take in what kind of creature she /was/. It seemed that she had summoned this dead woman herself, since it was highly unlikely that someone else who just happened to be a necromancer in the area had summoned her instead. Although she was still anxious of the possible living doll that was still lurking through the woods, she decided to brush it off for now. “a-ah, yes. Surely it would be frightful.” Although hesitant, Kinaktok reached up and pulled herself up to her feet with the skeleton’s hand. Bare, skeletal hands were cold to the touch, and felt extremely fragile. She quickly dusted off her uniform, glancing up at the creature once more with a curious smile.

Chris woke to the sound of crying. It was 3 o’clock in the morning and he’d been alone when he went to bed. Chris wasn’t really concerned about the noise so he rapidly attempted to go back to sleep because he had school in the morning. The noise kept getting louder and louder and louder to the fact that the noise would make Chris’s eardrum burst. Chris quickly got up out of his bed and quietly opened his door and walked into the living room.

Suddenly a piercing cry came from my bedroom. I darted up the stairs following the cry of such extreme agony. I stopped in the bedroom doorway to find my wife’s lifeless body lying on the floor with a hulking figure peering over it. What at first glance I thought to be my mortal enemy was actually my second creation.
