I have to write an essay on Frankenstein. My thesis is this: Victor Frankenstein’s abundance of friendship and love in his early life leads him to be overly confident (hubris) in his abilities, while the creature’s lack of the same prevents him from benefiting from his greater human potential. The first paragraph I discuss Victor's positive childhood leading him to be extremely confident in his abilities, then making the monster The second paragraph I discuss the creature and how he is very lonley and uses his super-human "powers" for the worse, and not use it to benefit society because he does not have love, etc. prevents him from having greater human potential I do not know what to do for the third paragraph relating back to the thesis. What should I do for this? Perhaps I can do a paragraph after the Victor paragraph and before creature one. For this 3rd paragraph, please give me ideas and a few quotes to back it up and prove my thesis. Thanks.

You have an interesting thesis that compares and contrasts the role of human fellowship in the lives of Victor Frankenstein and the creature. For the final part of your essay, you may want to consider what it means that both Victor Frankenstein and the creature die friendless and alone at the end of the novel.
By the end of the novel, the creature has killed Henry, Frankenstein's friend, and Elizabeth, Frankenstein's bride. Frankenstein, who flees to the Arctic, is as alone and friendless as the creature. After Frankenstein's death, the creature says the following:




Yet I seek not a fellow feeling in my misery. No sympathy may I ever find . . . I am content to suffer alone while my sufferings shall endure; when I die, I am well satisfied that abhorrence and opprobrium should load my memory.

The creature has abandoned all hope for sympathy and companionship, and Frankenstein lacks these comforts by the end of his life as well. What does it mean that both Frankenstein, who had an abundance of friends when he was younger, and the creature, who lacked friends, both die alone while suffering? Could it mean that by being so filled with hubris, Frankenstein has caused himself to suffer the same fate as his creature? Do you think that it is fitting that at the end of Frankenstein's life he suffers the same loneliness of which his creature complained and that Frankenstein was unwilling to cure? In other words, did Frankenstein receive his just desserts? These are some questions you may want to ponder as you write the end of your essay.
