It can be argued that the role of the mother in fiction is to nurture
...
‘’My
family is one of the most distinguished of the republic’’, one of the opening lines of the novel,
implements a credible and prestigious ancestry through the use of the adjective ‘’distinguished’’,
implying that Frankenstein’s family stems from honour and rank
...
The lexical choices of ‘’kindness’’ and ‘’indulgence’’ show a reader just how doting
Frankenstein’s parents were; it seems that they would do anything for him, making this serene
upbringing the peak of his character arc
...
This also shows
that his parents were bound to fulfil his every whim and treat him accordingly, as if he was from
‘’heaven’’
...
It can be inferred that the death of Victor’s mother
translates to Shelley’s own experiences of loss as her own mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, died when
she was just an infant
...
Through this
consistently nurturing characterisation, it can be implied that Victor feels it unfair that such a good
soul could succumb to death so soon
...
Nevertheless, Victor’s mother vows to ‘’resign [herself] cheerfully to death’’, with the
lexical choice of ‘’cheerfully’’ juxtaposing the occurring ‘’death’’, insinuating that she will endeavour
to face death with bravery and acceptance
...
From
this, a turning point in the narrative arc is presented as Victor attempts to move forward with his
life, but declines exponentially throughout the rest of the novel
...
Thus,
from his beloved mother’s death, it can be inferred that Victor seeks to create life as a form of
vengeance if a precious life is able to be taken from him
