Misconceptions about Society in Frankenstein Societies have a tendency to categorize everything into local “norms,” and labels are applied liberally. Typical labels are: good or bad, rich or poor, normal or aberrant. While some of these classifications may be accurate, many of them are based on misconceptions or misunderstandings. This is precisely the case with Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. In Frankenstein this act of erring on the part of society is extremely evident. An example of this judgment is the way in which the family is considered. They are seen by society as the lower class. They work in their garden every day to prepare food for meals because they don't have enough money to buy food. They are seen as poor and unfortunate, but in reality they are rich – in spirit. They are good people. They don't complain about the status quo but enjoy what they have, which is an admirable trait for people of any position. The blind old man sings songs to others, plays a musical instrument, and adds a sense of experience and content to the family. Even children go about their daily work without complaining. Just because they are despised by society, that doesn't stop them from enjoying what they have been provided. Society itself, which should be good, is actually ignorant. They mistakenly treat the oversized creation by assuming it is a monster. They despise him, attack him and avoid him just because of his outward appearance. This is not justified by anything other than his behavior. They are afraid of him also because they are afraid of things they know nothing about. Society also unjustly kills Justine in the middle of the paper in the forest. This concern for human life, in addition to his feelings of love towards his family, testifies to his benevolence. At first he doesn't even intend to kill the boy. If there's one character in this story that should be labeled a monster, it's not this one. Society has the greatest influence on a person's point of view on a given point. Mostly society causes misconceptions about people based on appearance and the unknown. This is especially evident in the novel Frankenstein, where the labels given by society to the main characters are distorted. You did a great job of using plot to support your argument without simply providing a summary. There are only some grammatical and structural errors.
