Mary Shelley's novel portrays many different possible themes
             that are relevant in society today. Many erratic behaviors
             happen in Frankenstein that provide the reader with encounters
             that would not happen in everyday life, yet can still be relevant
             in today's world. Frankenstein introduces unexpected events and
             creates a sense of relentless horror for the reader. Shelley
             gives her audience a taste of unimaginable happenings that can

             that cannot always be fixed and made into an enjoyable outcome.
             Another theme is that one should not defy nature. By trying
             to cheat death, Victor gave himself a god-like status. In the
             end, it only caused the death of innocent, loved ones and created
             a living hell for Victor. If death was not suppose to be a part
             of nature, then it would not be part of nature, but it is and it
             is a very important one. With death, there is always a new life
             waiting to be born. Man is suppose to be mortal and fragile and
