The theme of monstrosity...Victor creates: “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an
inanimate body” (Shelley 19).
Does he begin with a ‘monstrous’ idea? This dabbles in the pursuit of forbidden knowledge so does that make Victor a so-called monster from the start? Is that a quality that helps to define monstrosity in the novel?
Justine tells Elizabeth: “The God of Heaven forgive me! Ever since I was condemned, my confessor has besieged me; he threatened and menaced, until I almost began to think that I was the monster that he said I was (42).” In regard to her confession of William’s murder.
Is this yet another example from the novel that demonstrates a general definition of the term monstrosity? Justine was defined as a monster by her confessor or accuser. Does she fit the profile of a monster?

How does modern day society define monstrosity?
Society has defined monstrosity through such people as “The Elephant Man” to “Ted Bundy” & through such vices as racism, sexism, or any -ism in society.
Do these individuals depict how society sees itself?
Do we identify others as ‘monsters’ help us to define what is normal in society? Is this societal self-defense? Do they help us to define our darkest selves?
