Human Interconnectivity In Frankenstein

Human interconnectivity it’s not just a coincidence, people have their own lives but they all connect and are part of one big thing. The poem "No Man is an Island'' by Donne and Frankenstein by Shelley both share the idea of humans having a connection between them, and how their actions affect each other. The phrase by Marianne Williamson “And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”, this quote expresses how in one way or another humans are always going to affect each other in the most insignificant ways. Humans are connected, all of their actions and inactions have an effect on others, and how death can have an effect on humankind.

The story Frankenstein has a lot of events in which the character’s actions affect others, one example from the story is how Victor’s actions were able to change Walton’s way of thinking about priorities, “They are dead, and but one feeling in such a solitude can persuade me to preserve my life”(ch24), this connects to the main idea because it shows how Walton felt after realizing how much people had suffered and died due to victor’s creation, he realizes how much this impacted him as a person and helped him appreciate life. The poem states, “No man is an island entiry of itself; every man is a piece of the continent”(Dommes, lines 1-2), this connects to the idea of actions and inactions of people affecting others by saying that no human can live without having to be part of a group or a connection with other human
