According to Christopher Schildt, "Mary Shelley was not writing about the evils of science and progress, but suffering and loss and pain, the feeling of being ostracized- that i think she knew very well." I completely agree with Schildt. We as people feel this way sometimes; like we don't belong in this world and that we feel, at times, lower than everyone around us. We feel like an outsider sometimes, and people treat us as if we literally are a monster. Everyone has those days where they just cant wait for them to end because nothing seems to be going right for them. I can't imagine my entire life like that though. Personally, I think that Mary Shelley wanted her story to help cope with all people. She probably thought that it would be a huge success if people could relate to the story and feel sympathy for the creature. If she were writing the story about the evils of science and progress, there really wouldn't be much connection between the creature and the reader. But since the reader is often able to relate to how the creature feels, it actually makes the story worth the time reading.
