Frankenstein
3. Conclusion
Life is a gift – and that is the main philosophy of the novel. If you give life to somebody as a parent or create a life like Viktor Frankenstein you have to know beforehand what to do with it and be able to take full responsibility for giving the best to your creation. The creature was Viktor’s toy and Viktor was the toy of his parents. Everything happened in a chain reaction. One good deed generates another good deed and vice versa – one evil generates another evil.
Mary Shelley share’s a philosophy that should be inside the heart of each reader: life - is not a toy to play with! There is only one source of life and there should be no others: “ Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow”.
What I learned from this book is that things are not always the way they appear to be. And what seems terrifying may turn out to be just the pain of someone’s heart. So “sharing pure love” is the only philosophy of life that should be kept in mind of each person.
