In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley portrays a "monster" created through scientific experiments that resembles many of the "unlucky" humans that are not part of the norm in society.

I beheld the wretch-The miserable monster whom I had created." "I nearly sank to the ground through languor and extreme weakness. Mingled with this horror, I felt bitterness of disappointment..." (p. 43) This scene is very similar to many abnormal children in the world.
