For instance, the Last Survivor buries the treasure of his deceased civilization’s because it has lost its purpose, specifically useless because it is simply gold.

The Geats unbury the treasure only to bury it again ten days later, a cycle of gift-exchange that occurs too quickly.

Mary Shelly provides examples throughout the text of the many ways to acquire knowledge and surveys how the characters succeed and fail in their journey for knowledge. The story of Frankenstein shows how someone’s life can be destroyed by their desire for knowledge. This provides a great example of what can happen when people take desires too far, without considering or thinking ahead to the possible consequences of their actions.

ATTENTION! Those trying to find meaning in this essay will be shot on sight. Mark Twain once said, “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” Mark Twain knows that everyone holds darkness inside them and really exaggerates it to the point where anyone can see it in his book Huck Finn.
