1. In her book Frankenstein, do you think Mary Shelley was saying about human beings
and the way we treat one another?

2. What does it mean to be a monster? Who is the real monster in Frankenstein? Is Victor,
the well-intentioned yet troubled scientist, a monster? Or is his creation the monster? Are
they both monsters in their own ways?

3. Mary Shelley clearly believes that nurture trumps nature. She demonstrates this throughout
Frankenstein. If Victor had raised the creature, how do you think it would have turned out? Would
it have still become a vindictive creature because it is its nature to be so? What is your opinion? Explain.
