Frankenstein #5

Throughout the course of the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the Monster is very observant. For example, through observations, the Monster learns about relationships. "I gained knowledge of brother, sister, and the various relationships which bind one human being to another in mutual bonds" (Shelley, 86). Through observations, the Monster learns a great deal about living in society. The monster reminded me that sometimes we can learn more from observing than participating. Through observations, we can see the bigger picture. The Monster was able to use his observations and apply them to his life. Just as the Monster, so can we apply our observations to our daily lives. Some things in life must be observed in order to be learned. Other things must be learned through our daily experiences. We can learn many things through looking at the life of the Monster in the novel Frankenstein.
