Frankenstein: Parallelism

"You must create a female for me, with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. This you alone can do; and I demand it of you as a right which you must not refuse to concede." pg 104
Early on in the novel the reader feels a sense of sympathy for Robert as well as Victor. Robert, while writing letters to his beloved sister, mentions that he so desperately desires a friend in which he can confide in and share stories with. All he wants is a BFF. Victor, when introduced to the story, describes his entire life as one of depression which is filled with long periods of loneliness and isolation from society. From early on in the story, the reader recognized the need of people to be around others and to communicate with others. I think that is why when Monty voices his sadness on being so alone, the reader is easily swayed to feel sympathetic towards him. I think that there is a lot of parallelism in these different situations. However, Robert and Victor have both brought this loneliness upon themselves. Monty however, has no control over his isolation from society. Even when he does his best to learn the De Lacey's language, they reject him. The author does a good job of making Monty in the likeness of a human. I think this is especially seen in the fact that after he tries to befriend people and realizes the shallow nature of them, he becomes extremely jealous of his creator. It is very natural for a person to feel jealous- and obviously Monty did when he realized Victor ripped up his only chance at having a lady friend and yet Victor was going to be married.
