frankenstein

•

The creature (being inherently good and only evil due to humanity’s prejudice and rejection of him)

•

Isolation (how it is fuelled by victor’s prejudice initially rejecting him as a ‘baby’… then how all of humanity - the idealised DeLaceys and even a small boy- express prejudice… context on how Rousseau said that all children are born good and corrupted by their experiences and therefore Shelley makes it clear that the Creature is a victim of prejudice/isolation)

•

Women (how the monster is paralleled with almost all female characters - Safie, Eliz and Justine are all outcasts accepted for their beauty, meanwhile, the prejudice exertted on the Creature makes him unable to find the “sympathies necessary for his being”)
