There is nothing too special about my name. It's said that my name became popular and dedicated to the Legendary Princess Sabrina, an illegitimate daughter of the King of Britain who was drowned by the King's ex-wife out of jealousy. I am often asked if I am named after “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” but no I was not, I'm named after my grandmother who’s middle name is Sabrina. I’m not as familiar with my grandmothers as I would like as she is not really involved in my life. What I do know: Is that she has worked in construction for twenty plus years and is a very unusual and intelligent woman,she grows her own vegetables, and ironically believes in witches and magic. I haven’t seen her in over five years, but we talk occasionally. Her daily attire
Page 1 of 2 Far away setting- “I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep; I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day and devoted my nights to the study of mathematics, the theory of medicine, and those branches of physical science from which a naval adventurer might derive the greatest practical advantage” (letter 1 Walton) Far away unexplored areas like the Artic were very mysterious to people of the 1700’s. This setting creates a tense feeling for the reader because they don’t know much about where the characters are and what could be hiding there. Dark and gloomy places- “We saw many ruined castles standing on the edges of precipices,

There is blood on your hands. On your hands and in your hair and dripping from your hands and fingers onto and fuck fuck fuck-- You can’t breathe. The thing inside you (sinners go to hell) rears up its bitter, vengeful head and roars and crunches you and eats you whole (make it stop) until you can’t breathe. You can feel it, growing inside you (it’s the monster the monster the monster) the hatred, spilling into your heart and flooding over, into your lungs, dripping onto your intestines.

You're just a confused little kid. Of course, confused is not exactly your go-to word when describing yourself. Friendly, kind or even funny, those are the words that describe you pretty accurately, and once upon a time, not even in a different timeline but just weeks ago, you were the embodiment of determination. It seemed to you like everything was in the right place - monsters fleed from the Underground, you and your newly-found family were happy and your mind was unusually, but blissfully quiet.

The above quote by Bloom is an explanation of the view that all the gothic novels are interpretation of psychological and social factors and this is especially true in the case of Mary Shelley. Shelley began her novel at the age of 18 when the most prominent materials in the consciousness and unconsciousness of Shelley were concerned with the conflicts stemming from the death of her mother. Frankenstein is the outcome of Shelley’s unresolved grief for the death of her mother which was the crisis she needed to work through to forget her own adult identity.
Thank you June for sharing your comments! I enjoyed learning many things about Frankenstein. I also enjoyed learning many things about evolution. Yes, science is involved with the laws of nature. Science does involve culture. Culture may be able to affect the society overall. Different cultures have a different way of living. Yes, some people may believe that it is good to earn power.

Several fields have studied the relationship between creator and creation. The most significant aspect of this research considers the difference between nature and nurture. Sociologists, psychologists, scientists, and other professionals have tried to pin down the exact distinctions between these two types of upbringings. In literature, the same questions have been asked and studied using fictional characters, most famously in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, in 1667, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, in 1818. The complexity of the characters in these texts creates the theme of nature versus nurture before they diverge and arrive at differing conclusions.

There are many different themes expressed in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. They vary with each reader but basically never change.

Topic: Mary Shelley has Victor Frankenstein create a living being, who then becomes a murderer. Who or what is responsible for the wretch’s behavior? Is Shelley casting blame on a society that refuses to accept the wretch? Does she hold Victor responsible for his negligence as a “parent” (both father and mother) or is the wretch himself responsible for the chaos he creates?
Frankenstein was a scientist who thought that the world was a secret, which he desired to discover in the scientific field. He worked to find out the relationship between humans and animals. He was attracted by the structure of the human body, any animal related with life, and the cause of life. One day, Victor Frankenstein made an experiment where he included many different human parts from different dead people. This resulted in a human being and a strange creature never seen before in life, which made Frankenstein very scared. This creature or monster was tall enough to scare people by his height and with muscles that were well proportioned.
