The story deals with AIDS, love, secrets and the ghosts of the past. I found out that Helen is really Maria Elena or Nena and she is Diego’s sister. Eddy is Nena’s husband and has his own past as a molested child to come to terms with that and a brother to find. Jake is dealing with his anger and grief from losing Joaquin. And then there is my favorite character in the book, Lizzie.
The idea of doubling is a central theme in Mary Shelley’s gothic novel Frankenstein. This theme reveals itself in a variety of ways, predominantly with the parallels between Frankenstein and his creature, but it also is apparent from the dualities in other characters, the language and images used and in the structure and form of the novel itself. Victor Frankenstein and the physical creature are the most obvious example of doubling. One way in which Shelley shows how the two are a reflection of each other is through the therapeutic way nature affects their souls. Early on in the novel during his nervous breakdown Frankenstein he says that the ‘season contributed greatly to my convalescence.’ This soothing effect nature has on the mind is replicated when the creature, after having endured a hellish, bitterly cold winter alone, finds that ‘spring cheered even’ him, inducing feelings of ‘gentleness and pleasure’.
A detailed physical description of Justine is never provided, but her personality is captured when Elizabeth writes how she can change Victor’s despondency into joy from a simple glance. “Justine, you may remember, was a great favorite of yours;and I recollect you once remarked that if you were in an ill humor, one glance from Justine could dissipate it.” (49) Justine was rejected by her mother and taken into the Frankenstein household by the loving Caroline. Justine is rescued from a bad family environment and brought into the home of people who love her. After five years of happiness living with the Frankensteins, Justine returns to her now repentant mother, which is the first occurrence of her role as the object of undeserved blame. “She sometimes begged Justine to forgive her unkindness but much oftener accused her of having caused the deaths of her brothers and sister.”(50) Madame Moritz alternately asks forgiveness yet still dispenses blame upon Justine, accusing her of being responsible for the deaths of her brothers and sister.
She showed her great love for her husband in another well-known poem she wrote called “To My Dear and Loving Husband.†The first lines of this poem -“If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee,â€- make it clear that Bradstreet and her husband had a very loving marriage and that she was extremely happy (www.library.utoronto.ca). She wrote a similarly themed work about her children in poem called “In Reference to My Children†(www.ask.com). Anne’s life in the colony also affected her poetry. This can be seen in her poem “Upon a Fit of Sickness,†in which she wrote about a time in which she came close to death when struck by a plague.
It is the only time he thinks of what he has left behind. Also the reason why he laughs is that He discovers he does not look like his brothers, because they are shapeless, formless, and downtrodden while he is thin, strong, and lithe. He is hard and strong and concludes that he can trust himself and has nothing to fear of his own company. 8. The uncharted forest symbolizes our society being burned and hidden in the leafs it symbolizes free thought action and freedom in general. Here is where equality opens up and sees his reflection and sees he looks much better than his brothers and he can become scientifically greater to. 9.

Except the monster had no one. He saw how happy the De Lacey family was together, he also saw how overjoyed Felix was when Safie returned, and most importantly, he read the story of Adam and Eve. He compared himself to being like Adam, and soon he started to wonder about his own “Eve”. Thus, the monster decided to strike a proposal with his creator. “I demand a creature of another sex, but as hideous as myself; the gratification is small, but it is all that I can receive, and it shall content

In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the women are intelligent, but submissive—often victims—powerless to protect themselves and "second class citizens." The only exception may be Caroline Frankenstein who dies before the monster is created. Caroline is Victor's mother. She alone shows the ability to stand up to the world. Victor recounts... Caroline Beaufort possessed a mind of an uncommon mould; and her courage rose to support her in her adversity.
Elizabeth Lavenza states to Victor Frankenstein, “I have written myself into better spirits, dear cousin; but my anxiety returns upon me as I conclude” (Shelley 51), which is showing how Elizabeth Lavenza is writing to Victor Frankenstein in a positive manner and how she is getting anxiety while coming to the end of the letter. Additionally, Elizabeth Lavenza is proving how attached she is to Victor Frankenstein in the way that she does not want say good bye to Victor Frankenstein in her letter. Furthermore, Elizabeth states, “Be happy, my dear Victor…” and “…there is, I hope, nothing to distress you…” (Shelley 170), which is illustrating how Elizabeth Lavenza cares for Victor Frankenstein’s happiness and how she wants him to not be stressed. Overall, Elizabeth Lavenza wants Victor Frankenstein to be joyful and stress-free. All in all, Victor Frankenstein and Elizabeth Lavenza have a resilient relationship that exemplifies their love for each
