In the book the creature didn’t show any intent to harm Victor so there is no logical reason for him fleeing. The only explanation that i can come up with for Victor abandoning his creation was that he was mentally unstable because of sickness, lack of human interaction, and fatigue.

Victor says his family is happy, and his parents as the bringers of "many delights." Victor knows how great it is to have your creators care about you, but this knowledge does not convince him to do the same for the creature that he has brought to life.

Due to Victor’s unwillingness to accept him, the creature was unable to conform to societal norms. From the creature’s very first moments, he is feared by others - the instant his eyes open, his creator cries out in terror and runs to his quarters. If only Victor had stayed and attempted to nurture his creation, instead of having “turned from [him] in disgust” (93), the creature may have enjoyed a gentle, upbringing in which he

Victor’s questionable actions are apparent, however his benevolent qualities are greater. Victor truly does possess a lot of good qualities, but sadly, the creation of another human tainted him. One of his most predominant moral characteristics is his love and cherish for Elizabeth Lavenza. For example, Victor states “I would die to make her happy” (Shelley 167). This is evidence that he cares about others and he is not entirely immoral. On the other hand, Victor’s only major evil quality was his desire to become God. “A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me” (Shelley 48). This is proof that he wanted to become godly and control life and death which ultimately caused his downfall.

Victor was raised in a very caring and loving home. His parents gave Victor everything he wanted and Victor grew up with great friends. Victor’s parents even adopted him a lifelong companion in Elizabeth so he would never feel lonely. Victor had very strong relationships with those who surrounded him.

Victor and the Monster are both isolated from society. Both were abandoned early by a

Socialization is an ongoing process in which individuals obtains a personal identity, learns norms, values and behaviour appropriate to his/her position. People constantly require approval of the things they do, they continually seek to be socially competent and to be accepted by those around them. It is human nature to want to be similar from others in order to be accepted in a certain social spheres but at the same time wanting to be different and unique. There are primary and secondary agents of socialization. The primary agents are those that are basic and fundamental to social beings, these include family and friends from which we learn behaviour at young age; they transmit norms and values to us. The secondary agents are those that are more external to us than family such as social institutions/organisations, these include schools,

In the film Room (2015), Jack a five year old boy who lives with his mother in a shed discovers that the there is a world beyond the room they live in changing his perception of his reality. Socialization is based on how a person was raised, paving a pathway to their society’s culture. In which, nurture depicts socialization rather than nature. The film does reflect what researchers witnessed about feral children. Language as a part of socialization influences why Jack only believes that their room is all that is real. The film Room (2015) is able to define socialization through nature versus nurture in the demonstration of the influence isolation has on children and how language can also influence perception.

It has been argued that in order to exist as part of a community, one must sacrifice their individuality; however, quite the opposite is true. Community is the source from which individuality is derived. From birth, humans are social beings who require interaction, connections, and relationships; communities help to fulfill this physiological need. From family and friends, to acquaintances and colleagues, these connections are made, sanity is preserved, and life can continue on as normal. However, without this community of individuals, consisting of the whole world, humans would be plagued with a life of solitary confinement. Prison systems, POW camps, novels, TV shows, and movies constantly explore or utilize the effects of such seclusion on characters and real individuals on a regular basis. Horror stories often revolve around the concept of people going mad after being alone for extensive periods of time. Prison systems reserve solitary confinement for only the worst of transgressions. Peoples’ nightmares are fraught with dreams of being the last person alive. Even as I write this, secluded from every one of my own volition, I feel a sense of nervousness, of

In a later study on the effect of total isolation, the researchers released the test monkeys into another group of monkeys. He observed that many went into a state of emotional shock, characterized by holding themselves and racing. Some of the monkeys also refused to eat. Many eventually adjusted, but those who had been isolated for longer periods became permanently withdrawn. Harlow’s research of the diversity of the affectional system, is commonly referred to today and especially important to the discussion of the effects of any form of isolation and its connection to social behavior. For this paper, his work provides a foundation for understanding the effects of forceful and severe deprivation of social or comfort contact within the practice of solitary confinement (Vicedo

Socialization is “the process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learns the norms, values, behavior and social skills that are essential appropriate to his or her social environment.” Socialization applies to our daily life and it’s the most important process of human society. Without socialization the human would not be able to take part in group life and develop human characteristics. The world wouldn’t never be organized and everyone would have their own ways of doing thing. The general rules that we follow every day tells us what we should and shouldn’t do and how we should interact in situations. There are always consequences if we violate the rules and everyone recognizes the rules. Individual personality is really important in socialization. As a child, we start to learn and imitate others behavior, and as we get older, we start to understand the social life and accustom to the environment we live in, which can have effects on our personality. Personality refers to the patterns of feeling, thought, and action that characterizes human beings. The experiences we go through in life can change our personality too. Socialization essentially represents the process of learning throughout the life course. The important theories of socialization are defined by Charles Horton Cooley, George Herbert Mead, Erving Goffman, Sigmund Freud and Judith R. Harris.
