It is unquestionably Mary Shelley's ability to express human nature that makes Frankenstein so important to society. It is a fallacy to suggest that humans don't stereotype and reject other humans every day and that this doesn't lead to human distress and anxiety. Shelley depicts these ideas in such a way as to teach humans about action and consequence. This is done by using Frankenstein's rejection of his creation, the monster, and how this rejection, in turn, leads to his destruction. These ideals are portrayed in a simple form, allowing anyone to learn from their meanings without an in-depth study, to ensure that her message is being conveyed to every reader.
             Rejection of the different is in human nature. It is the first reaction to immediately disown something because it doesn't fit in with our comfortable surroundings. Frankenstein had been described in some analyses as the father of the monster, and he had abandoned his child. It was his responsibility as the 'father' to teach the monster the ways of humans, about morals, values, love, and kindness. The rejection of Frankenstein toward his monster symbolically represents the cruelty of human society. Frankenstein showed immorality in his humanity in his method of accomplishing his goal, the monster. Robbing graves, torturing animals, and taking from the waste of charnel houses for his experiments can be considered acts beneath humanity. Here his goal with good intentions was flawed, and ultimately ruined, by evil methods. Frankenstein's rejection of the monster cannot be looked upon by society as a cruel and inhumane action. Human society is infected with the everyday use of such acts, and this is why Frankenstein is so important to human society. It contains a moral that is so plainly put forward, human action leads to human consequence. It can be seen that Shelley was warning human society about the consequences of acceptance and rejection.
