Mary Shelley characterizes the characteristics of the romantic period in the novel Frankenstein. Most literature reflects the time period in which it was written, whether it is in the past, future, or present. Writers or even social media trenders can't help but write about political events, which helps describe the time period. This is not intentional, a writer can't help but include things that are happening or trending in their novel. The Romantic period influenced Marry Shelly's writing of the novel Frankenstein. The Industrial Revolution of the late 1700s was a time of great change. People were moving to the cities and watching the rural countryside evolve into a great monstrosity. This happened so fast that the city could not keep up with the growth and conditions within the city were atrocious. This change made them rethink city living, the all in one scenario was no longer appealing. They saw the countryside as rural and beautiful, which made it very powerful and surreal. Literature used to be very predefined and boring, but now writers use everything that happens around them to create inspirations and give free rein to their imagination. This change during this time period was known as Romanticism or the Romantic Movement. The Romantic movement is by far the most important literary period. It gave the power to writers to act on their emotions and tell the story as it wasn't supposed to be. This new form of writing encouraged men and women of all classes to explore novels. Everyone felt involved, as if they were part of the novel, they understood the emotions and nature. People thrived on experiencing life and seeking emotions, whether good or bad. This emotion and imagination of the... medium of paper ......how they responded to his gentle ways. "I have sworn eternal hatred and vengeance upon all mankind." (pg. 74) He is hated and therefore will hate him too, even children hate him only because their parents taught them to be prejudiced. “You are an ogre” “Horrible monster, let me go!” (pg. 75) The monster begins to hate himself for being what he is, an ugly, enormous, bestial-looking evil. The monster feels more and more like a human, which leads down a terrible road of good and evil in the eyes of a beast. The monster loves nature, but as an anti-romantic, nature cannot love him back. “Nature has decayed around me, the sun has become heatless; rain and snow poured around me; mighty rivers were frozen; the surface of the earth was hard, cold and bare, and I found no shelter.” (p. 73)Mary Shelley characterizes the characteristics of the Romantic period in the novel Frankenstein.
