Damaged “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.” (165)     In the statement made by Frankenstein’s Creature to Walter, Mary Shelley utilizes emotionally charged diction and biblical allusions in order to demonstrate the motif of abortion.

Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein published in 1818, was the crucial influence of the 1994 Frankenstein movie directed by Kenneth Branagh. Kenneth was extremely successful and had a lot of ambition to portray the real horror image Shelley wrote about in her novel. Before the 1994 movie, there were numerous vague interpretations based on the novel. I believe the 1994 film's intent to be the most relative to the novel than any other film produced.

Relationships of unconventional and sometimes unexplainable love are the subject of “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. “The Scarlet Ibis” is a story of two young brothers: Doodle, who is disabled but shows complete adoration and devotion for his older sibling, and “Brother,” who is often manipulative.

Stephen Dedalus, the central character, acts as an alternate reflection of the author in this semi-autobiographical fiction A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce.
