The Importance Of Childhood In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein talks about his childhood and how great it was, he was loved and cared for by his parents. This is expressed strongly through his quote saying, “ no human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. My parents were possessed by the every spirit of kindness and indulgence. We felt that they were not the tyrants to rule our lot accordingly to their caprice, but the agents and creators of all the many delights which we enjoyed” (Shelley 30). I can relate to this because I grew up with amazing parents, that always made sure I had what I needed and wanted. They were always there for me much like Victor's parents seem to be during his childhood.
I grew up with two loving and caring parents who were always around, they doated on me much like Victor's parents, I am the oldest, with one little sister who is two years younger than me. My parents loved us both immensely, they always made sure we had what we needed, went to the best schools, lived in the nicest houses …show more content…
In the book Victor has a period of time when he is making the monster when he does not write or make any contact with his family for a number of years. His father worries about him and what he is doing during these years. I have gone through something much similar, my sophomore year of high school I was severely depressed. Everything was changing around me, my friends, classes and what I cared about, I became withdrawn like Victor does when his creating the monster. My parents became extremely concerned with what was happening to me, like Victor's dad does when he does not hear from him for years. My parents did everything possible to help me, they got me medications and always tried to talk to me about what I was feeling. I feel like it was because of my loving parents that I got better and was happy with my life
