John Locke’s Social Contract Theory:

Introduction: The Social Contract Theory argues that people’s morals and obligations depend on an agreement among them in order to form the society in which they reside. John Locke's argues that the state of nature of man is perfect, and no one is to interfere each other’s’ lives.

It is believed by many scholars like Ellen Moers, who wrote Female Gothic: The Monster’s Mother that when Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly wrote Frankenstein, she wrote the story as a reflection of her own fears and issues with parenting. I also think that Shelley may have felt that her offspring were somehow against the laws of nature and that this is why most of them died at birth or in early infancy. Where Victor only had created life from the confines of death, she herself brought death from what should have been life. This of course was no fault ...
