The first point which is really important in order to contrast Mari Shelley’s life and Frankenstein’s is about the relationship with the environment. Both were educated by the experience and without any guide. Mary’s mother died before her adolescences and the monster was abandoned by his creator. The author and the creation were educated by books, imitation and their own experience.
Another point that is possible to see in the Shelley and the 8-feet being is that they felt rejected by their environments. The clearest example of this rejection is the relation that Shelley had with her father, on the other side the doctor Victor Frankenstein felt so disappointed with his creation, for that reason the intelligent man spent much time with his creation.

Hi Wladimir,
The parallelism you make between Mary Shelley´s life and the monster in that both were self-educated and left alone is one of the novel´s main issues.
Rejection too is a major issue in the novel. Another parallelism. Mary and her father, Dr. Frankenstein and his creature. Well thought!! Which, do you think, are then the messages that one can draw from these parallelisms?
