Frankenstein Chapters 14-16: The "Mulan-ster"

In chapters 14 through 16 of the capital R romantic classic Frankenstein, we hear the story behind the monster’s neighbors, Felix, Agatha, Safie, and De Lacey. This family was originally from France and was forced to leave because they tried to help a Turk prisoner escape. That prisoner, was the father of Safie, whom fell in love with Felix, which is the reason behind the jail break. They now live in this cottage in poverty. Sooner or later, Safie managed to track them down. Now, the monster has grown close to them without his neighbors knowing and decided one day to expose himself to them. He waited for a day where Felix, Agatha and Safie went for a long walk, he was targeting De Lacey. The monster believed that if he gets De Lacey to like the monster’s personality, he can win the others over and ignore his grotesque appearance. Sadly, before given the chance, they came home early, catching the monster in their cottage and drove him away in fear. I find this as a visual representation of society, they teach us, and as we grow we stray away from ignorance and are fed these views that society perceives. Then when we try to challenge those ideas, we are driven away for attempting individuality. Some cave in, and try to fit in, others ignore the problem and isolate themselves, like the monsters. And others blossom in its adversity. Those Mulan fans, you know what I mean, those willing and able to power through the conformity of society are “the girls you don’t meet every dynasty”.
