Mary Shelly was eighteen when she wrote the story. Frankenstein involves science, horror, and death. This was the first science fiction novel that became a main classic in horror stories. She based the story a little bit on her fathers novel and of the mystic story of Prometheus. When Mary was born, the childbirth killed her mother. in a way, Mary and Victor from her story Frankenstein are the cause of death of the ones they love, even if they didn't intend to. Mary didn't intend to kill her mother at child birth, and Victor didn't intend his creation to kill someone from his family.
Mary wanted to make the reader understand the loneliness in the character of Victor's creation (Frankenstein). Being the only one of his kind and being feared by those who come across him, and automatically treat and call him a monster. You get the feeling of his pain and anger for being different.
