Frankenstein

These two separate backgrounds significantly contribute to the development of characters.
             Social and historical circumstances of Mary Shelley's audience would have been similar to the characters in the novel, as were there reactions. They would have felt an immediate repulsion created by the outward appearance of Frankenstein's creature. It required much more of an authorial effort on Mary Shelley's behalf to create feelings of sympathy and empathy in the audience of her times minds. It required much effort to also sustain any sympathy, in all likelyness a considerable percentile of the audience would have sympathised more with Victor then or equally to his creation. Today's audience would feel initially more intrigued then anything on the monsters introduction. The monster's rejection would have created an automatic sympathy for the monster and the emotional events of the creature longing for acceptance and companionship would have only justified the audience's feelings of sympathy, not created them.
             The feelings caused by the Frankenstein's creature would have given the two separate audiences different reasoning for their sympathy towards Frankenstein. The audience of Mary Shelley's era would sympathise with Frankenstein for reasons of him losing loved ones and the unsuccessful attempt at acquiring revenge. In the instance of the modern day audience sympathy towards Frankenstein would have been created by the fact that Frankenstein has compromised his integrity and has devoted his life to revenge and hate. .
             Although the two audiences different views lead to different character developments of Frankenstein and his creation they would have arrived at the some final conclusion, the final chapter of the book derived this convergence of opinions. .
             A consideration of before mentioned factors allows the modern audience to have an enhanced understanding of construction of the characters. They give reasoning to such depth of the portrayal of Frankenstein's creation having righteous desires of human acceptance.
