" The creature uses persuasive and emotive language in order to convince Frankenstein into creating a companion for him. The creature tells Frankenstein that, if he made a companion for him, he will isolate himself and partner from human civilisation, "If you consent, neither you nor any human being shall ever see us again: I will go to the vast wilds of South America." .
A 19th century reader would probably agree with the creature as companionship was very important in those days and it wouldn't have been seen as a right thing for someone to be lonely.
Dangerous Knowledge is the other theme that the reader comes across. The persuit of knowledge is at the heart of Frankenstein's character. He attempts to surge beyond human expectations and access the secret of life. This is the same as Robert Walton who also tried to go beyond limits of expectation by trying to explore undiscovered places. The reader knows that mans urge to further the boundaries of knowledge is dangerous as both Walton and Frankenstein suffer the consequences.
Frankenstein challenges society's expectations by attempting to take God's place and create another human being. In the 19th century this would be something that society would disagree with as most people at that time were religious and this would most certainly be considered a sin. From when he was a little boy, Frankenstein was deeply obsessed with the thisrt for knowledge, the reader knows this as Frankenstein says, "The world was to me a secret which I desired to divine. Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as they were unfolded to me, are among the earliest sensations I can remember." This dedication and craving for knowledge leads Frankenstein into creating a hideous creature, which obtains the power to destroy any human along with its creater. Frankenstein is oblivious to the danger of his knowledge and after his work is complete, he fearfully and regretfully realises he had broughtan evil and revolting creature to life.
