Birth is a natural process of creating a new life.
             Birth symbolizes life, giving future hope to people. In
             Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the main character, Victor
             Frankenstein, creates a being with his own hands; he has
             created something magnificent and terrible at the same
             time. Upon the moment of birth of this creature,
             Frankenstein runs away in horror. In relation, the author
             herself as she wrote this story, puts her life events
             into the book. Mary Shelley's mother died soon after her
             birth; and Mary, herself, had four stillborn children. To
             Mary, you can't have life without death, and vice versa.

             process of creating this creature was going to turn out

             exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the
             beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and
             disgust filled my heart." (Volume 1, page 935) It was
             like as if Victor failed to create something beautiful as
             The creature does not represent life; it represents
             death, destruction and hopelessness in Victor's eyes.
             Through an unnatural process, Victor uses science to give
             life to this being that he put together through limbs of
             what it used to be living beings. This is an important
             part because the creature not only brought death upon
             Victor, but also to William, Clerval, Justine, and
             Elizabeth. It is impossible to get life from dead things.
