I find Frankenstein’s reaction to the monster interesting. He immediately knows he has done wrong and his answer is not to try to fix the problem. Frankenstein’s reaction to his sin is to run, abdicate all responsibility. And then notice what happens. The monster goes on a murder rampage, killing the people Frankenstein loves most. I saw this as a huge parallel to the fatherlessness of our country. When a father abdicates his responsibility to provide for his family and raise his children, what will be the result?
