Frankenstein and Romanticism

Frankenstiene relates to romanticism by his emotion over his mothers death. His mother told him before she dies that she wants him and Elizabeth to get married. This creats pressure on him. When she dies from a fever, he leaves Elizabeth and goes to study at Ingolstadt. He studies anatomy and death. Once he studies, he wants to creat a new species made out of different parts of corpses. He does this because the death of his mother had made him lose it a little and became obsessed. While he studies at Ingolstadt, he becomes very closed off and doesn't have any friends. The creation of the monster was the only thing he could focus on. He does all the planning by himself and even assembling the body parts. It was his own independent idea. His self expression of his creation was using his own idea and own personal tools to make his idea come true. And he sticks it to the man by his creation of the momster to make a new species in the world and not settle for the usual ones.
