Prompt 2. The creature’s only hope for friendship is with the blind father of the De Lacey family. The creature explains, “ . . . a fatal prejudice clouds their eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold a detestable monster.” Ultimately, everyone is prejudiced against the monster for his appearance. How is the creature affected by this prejudice? How is this theme relevant to society today? Write a five-paragraph essay analyzing the theme of prejudice in the novel Frankenstein.
The first paragraph should include an attention-getter and your thesis statement. The three body paragraphs should provide examples of the prejudice the creature endures, demonstrate the effects of this prejudice on the creature, and make a connection between the novel and society today. The final paragraph should be an overall conclusion with a restatement of the thesis.
