This novel also contains, in addition to romantic elements, heavy-filled gothic scenes and descriptions. As the creature wanders aimlessly through nature, he comes to find that his version of nature is dark and depressing. The overall feelings and views of Victor Frankenstein and his

The creation of life is one of the greatest and most fantastic feats that a human can bring to pass. Two works that have artificial animation are Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and Disney’s telling of Pinocchio. They both work on the same basic concept of an outcast who was brought to life in a strange way and has to find the one person who truly understands them. The stories and character development in Pinocchio and Frankenstein are very similar, in that the creators share many traits, and that many plot points in the stories are very similar with different outcomes, and yet each takes a completely different turn when the creature arises.
