Kaylee MillerENG 2413, 3 periodC. WindhamDecember 10, 2013Helping Mary Shelley was no ordinary 19-year-old. She was the daughter of the great novelist William Godwin and the activist Mary Wollstonecraft, and the wife of a major second-generation poet. In life Maria had to face many situations without her mother, because she was only eleven days old when she died. During her life Mary lost three of her four children prematurely. Her only surviving child was named Percy Florence and was born in 1819. Frankenstein was released when Mary was twenty-one. The central idea came to Shelley in a dream in which he saw a student putting together parts of a male's body and working through a motor to animate it.

The Creature had a hard life in the beginning, and was an innocent creature. He was forced to fend for himself without knowing anything and without guidance. Describes his first experience...
