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. I need help with a third body paragraph of my 5 paragraph essay. In the first paragraph I discuss Victor's positive childhood leading him to be extremely confident in his abilities, then making the monster In the second paragraph I discuss the creature and how he is very lonely and uses his superhuman "powers" for the worst, and not to benefit society, because he does not have love, and it 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? For this third paragraph, please give me ideas and a few quotes to back it up and prove my thesis. I was thinking possibly the relationship between the creature and Victor. Thanks.

I think using the relationship between the creature and Victor is a great idea. Why does Victor, who has grown up with so much love, recoil from and reject his creation? After all, the monster is his child. He created it. How can a person who knows he has benefitted from love deny that to his creation? What does this tell us about Victor's notions of love? Has he learned in his childhood that only beautiful creatures are lovable? Is this a blind spot in his understanding of the world? Perhaps you could find a quote that shows what he hates in the creature, and that perhaps they are only outward aspects, like his appearance. Is Victor shallow?
Although the creature is the "child," he appears to be—at least initially, before he is hurt and lashes out violently from the pain of the severe rejection he experiences—emotionally wiser and more loving than the "man," Frankenstein, his "father." This seems to me a very Romantic notion. After all, the quintessential Romantic poet, William Wordsworth used the line "the Child is Father of the Man" in his famous poem "My Heart Leaps Up." You could explore how Victor's loving childhood has led him to place too much emphasis on the powers of intellect and reason, making him lose the innate power of loving that the "child" Frankenstein still retains. Is Victor's intellectual knowledge a barrier to love? Does Mary Shelley mean for us to feel sympathy and compassion for the creature rejected by its maker?
I do believe that Shelley wants us realize that we need to get beyond ourselves and our own egos if we are truly going to become loving toward another, especially toward one that is not like us. Not being able to love the creature, who so longs for love and acceptance, costs Victor not just a relationship with the creature but the lives of the people he loves.
