revert to anger and vengeance as a coping method, because there is nothing else for them to live for. The Creature’s continual rejection by humans, especially its creator, has made it a threat to society. In a successful attempt to scare Victor, the Creature says “...I shall be with you on your wedding night,” (Shelley 156). The Creature’s attitude toward humans has changed tremendously since the beginning of his life due to continuous rejection and cruelty. It has reverted to vengeance and anger,

Looking Past Appearances People are susceptible to making faulty assumptions about others. Intentionally and unintentionally, judgments upon an unfamiliar face is made swiftly. In less than a second, a snap judgement that is “surprisingly hard to budge” is formed in the mind (Highfield, Wiseman, Jenkins). In a phenomenon known as the halo effect, “the perception of positive qualities in one thing or part gives rise to the perception of similar qualities in related things or in the whole.” (Dobrin)

Morrison uses the internalization of beauty standards and its effect on characters’ social interactions with the community to reveal society’s assumption that appearance is the decisive factor in determining one’s status and critique its detrimental effect on one’s personal identity. The overwhelming emphasis that society places on outward appearance has a negative impact on an individual’s sense of self-esteem and dignity by creating a standard to which one must conform, as well as a potential void if

today’s society, people are constantly being judged based on their physical appearance; lacking aesthetics in any way may lead to rejection. In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Shelley created characters that experienced what was going on in society during her day and what is still present in society today. One of the characters’s in Frankenstein was abandoned and left with no one due to his undesirable physical appearance.
