Discuss the sources of discontentment and/or despair in 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley

"In conclusion, through the characterisation of Victor and his monster in Frankenstein, Shelley explores the detrimental effects that social isolation, both self-imposed and socially imposed, together with self-denial and ambiguous or undefined self-identity has on individual expression, self-worth and ultimately the fate of the character. The despair that results from the guilt and isolation presented in conjunction with the central characters is essential to the reader's understanding of the characterisation employed by Shelley, and provides the central platform in which the demise of the characters is explored and understood."

For this essay I have chosen to analyse 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'The Eve of St. Agnes'. Theses are both ballads we have studied in class and both could be described as good examples of ballads.

"In conclusion there is substantial evidence to support the claim that both "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "The Eve of St. Agnes" are romantic narrative verse. Also even though the two ballads are on different topics they still both contain the features needed to be classed as a good example of a ballad."

Analyse chapter 4 of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein and explore the extent to which it fits into the genre of the gothic novel and reflects the fears and concerns from the era in which the novel was written.

"In conclusion, Mary Shelley uses the gothic genre to great effect. However the genres of science and romance may not just be a feature of the book they can also represent the life of Mary Shelley. In context Mary Shelley was a lover of science and ultimately this is what her book is based on however her aim may have been to dissuade people playing or interfering with humanity. The effects are conveyed in the novel. Most of the novel fits in with the gothic genre as Shelley uses: pathetic fallacy, isolation, setting and many more in chapter 4 alone. Overall the novel wavers on the edge of the gothic genre and a deeper personal representation."
