Society And Isolation GCSE

Question 1

Shelley highlights societies problems

Answer 1

Our inability to judge more than just appearance caused the creature to turn against humanity . His evil persona was moulded by the beatings he got for simply being disfigured. Yet Safie can be accepted into a loving family despite her foreign origins due to her beauty.

The misuse of justice again highlights how quick society is to jump to conclusions . Without thorough investigation one of the only compassionate characters throughout the play is wrongfully executed due to victors inability to assume blame. “Wretched mockery”

Victor-“emaciated” “pale”

Monster-the neglect that is placed upon him forges the creature into a killing machine hell bent on destroying his creator .
