He uses his isolation to educate himself and gain courage to meet the family. Aghast by the creature’s monstrous appearance, the De Lacey family fled away leaving the

“He is dead who called me into being; and when I shall be no more, the very remembrance of us both will speedily vanish. I shall no longer see the sun or stars, or feel the winds play on my cheeks. Light, feeling, and sense, will pass away; and in this condition must I find my happiness.”(161)

A predominant theme in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is that of child-rearing and/or parenting techniques.  Specifically, the novel presents a theory concerning the negative impact on children from the absence of nurturing and motherly love.  To demonstrate this theory, Shelly focuses on Victor Frankenstein’s experimenting with nature, which results in the life of his creature, or “child”.  Because Frankenstein is displeased with the appearance of his offspring, he abandons him and disclaims all of his “parental” responsibility.  Frankenstein’s poor “mothering” and abandonment of his “child” leads to the creation’s

The narrative about Frankenstein provides a suitable lesson about family structure requirements for the development of sensibility. The monster makes a series of discoveries about family structure through several studies of how families work and coordinate. Familial hierarchy is one of the most important lessons learned from the narrative. Which is attained by the monster when he begins to understand how the old blind man in the family cottage is the patriarch of the family. Ideally, the monster lacks a father figure in its life and resolved to consider the old man as a surrogate parent. Another notable aspect of the lesson of a family is subsequent from the way the monster watches the old blind man encourage his children about the matter of life.

Reading a story from a characters first person point of view can make you interact more deeply with a story. A story called Excerpt from Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, shows just that. Most wouldn’t want to read this story, but it has a way of letting the reader get involved. ”The Monster”, main character, uses observations, words, and actions to show how we can interact more with a story. Observations give detail to stories.

The family aspect in the Frankenstein is a strong theme that has been developed and challenged in the novel. The novel places weight in the role of parents within a family with parents having the role of protecting their children. For instance, Victor’s father is identified to protect him with different scenarios that are causing harm to him in addition to the happy upbringing filled with father’s affection. "No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. My parents were possessed by the very spirit of kindness and indulgence” (Shelley 23). Meanwhile, his family friends have surrounded the young man as they are in need to see his success. Through the traditional notions of attaining a stronger family, commitment, time, coping ability, spiritual wellness, appreciation, and communication are the most essential aspects (Westheimer and Yogada 24-29). However, Frankenstein has revealed more breaking up of ties between family members and friends characterized by non-commitment, no time for family members, and lack of unity as well as, poor sexual relations revealed by Victor. Frankenstein has challenged the family concept against the traditional notions as we see; the home has been the place where refuge can be found.

Frankenstein’s monster is an eight-foot-tall, malformed human child. The monster has the mind of a child in an eight-foot body, green with a nail in his head, Frankenstein's monster is mentally a child, and we see its evolution through traditional child development during its narrative. Victor Frankenstein's role as father is intensified by that fulfillment of every parent's dream: he can deliberately, knowingly create his child; he can choose the parts. It is especially ironic, then, that he hates what he sees. Victor produces such a grotesque model for his procreation in part as a response to his own aggressive feelings toward his parents and the guilt these emotions provoke.

Parents are everyone's first role models. Regardless of biological relation, those who raise us have a profound influence on the way we perceive and interpret life. Parents instil our first sense of morality and empathy as well as our development of social skills. No matter how relentlessly one may attempt to have no resemblance to their parents, it is an inevitability of life that we will harness aspects of their influence and carry them though our existence. In Mary Shelley’s, “Frankenstein”, the influence of parental figures is displayed by the morals and values instilled in the monster.
