Paper Summary:

In this comparative review of the characters Frankenstein, in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and Heathcliff in Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" the author looks at both characters as victims of society. He compares the similar circumstances that both characters are forced into; being outcasts of society and the subsequent actions they perform which turns them into "monsters". The author looks at the degradation that both characters are subjected to. He concludes that in both "Wuthering Heights" and "Frankenstein", the "monster" characters are not monsters by nature, but rather victims of society. Both strive to fit into human society and both are rejected. The destruction reeked on society by Heathcliff and Frankenstein's creature is caused by that same society's treatment of them.

From the Paper:

"Frankenstein's creature is abused by his creator and the society in which he attempts to exist, as well. Because of his monstrous appearance and inability to communicate, the creature is rejected by society. He is forced to learn, on his own, what children are supposed to learn from nurturing parents. His destructiveness is a result of his frustration at being an isolated alien within human society. In his book, Mary Shelley's Monster, Martin Tropp describes the creature's situation: "An orphan of science, created and abandoned, the Monster threatens to take out its anger and rejection on the species of man" (Tropp 67). An example of this rejection is seen in the creature's encounter with the DeLacey family. After observing the family for months, the creature learns to read and speak and becomes entranced with their life as a family."
