  The theme I want to focus my second project on is the idea of family, society, and isolation ---> mental health and stigma
   
  • tragedy, murder, and despair occur because of a lack of connection to either family or society.
  • the true evil is isolation
  • the monster's first encounter with humankind is rejection: his creator, Victor Frankenstein, is horrified by what he has done
  • the monster is misunderstood, rejected, and alone
  • born alone to die alone
  • society alienates people because of their certain characteristics which usually do not fulfill the desired and decisive taste of the society.
  •  the very appearance of the monster contradicts his inner goodness
  • the monster does however, share human feelings, and aspires towards relationships with other beings
  • he is isolated due to its hideous appearance. He is rejected by its creator. He is driven away by the prejudice of society. 
  My argument is going to be that isolation and societal rejection can lead to the development of mental illness.
