Appreciation for life varies among people, many take it for granted, some cherish it to the greatest extent possible, and others live their lives looking for purpose. Mary Shelley presented life to her audience in a thought provoking manner in her fictional novel, Frankenstein. Based around the plague, the novel began with a ship captain, Robert Walton, bringing Frankenstein on board to his ship. Frankenstein then proceeded to tell his life story and explained how he ended up in the Arctic Ocean

Most people in the world spend their lives searching for connections with others. There is a constant need that humans seem to have for interaction and companionship. Being alone makes people miserable, leads them to do things they wouldn't if they had someone to share the burdens of life with. Being alone has never seemed beneficial to society, and being alone too long can push them off the edge. This ideal can be related back to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

While Prometheus’ rebellion causes him to suffer a great punishment, it ended up being a positive action that benefited humanity for the better. “The Godlike crime was to be kind…And strengthen Man with his own mind” (Byron 33, 38) depicts how Prometheus’ generous actions were simply to bring positive reactions for humanity.

English poet, novelist and playwright, once wrote, “most people ignore most poetry because most poetry ignores most people.” Born in 1788, George Gordon Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron, was an English poet and one of the most famous poets of the romantic era. Romanticism was one of the most influential poetic movements, which brought Lord Byron into the literary forefront.

“When tradition was rocked, western thought was rolled, and poets ruled,” precisely describes the passionately rebellious movement that thrived during the early nineteenth century, Romanticism. Artists were admired and recognized more than ever for their masterpieces. Of these authors who rode their wave of this movement, a young Mary Shelley, published Frankenstein in 1818, a novel expressing a multitude of Romantic qualities. Shelley captures the spirit of Romanticism through the lens of the supernatural

In today’s society, people have many different ways that they interpret their dreams. Some people believe that they give us a view into the future while others believe that they tell us more about ourselves. Historically, they were once believed to be symptoms of mental illness. It was through the work of Sigmund Freud, a psychoanalyst, that the value of dreams was shifted; we were able to learn the significance of the information that they gave us (“Dream in History”, para. 9).
