Act 4: Loneliness is a key theme. This is seen in the character of the monster who is alienated and deeply misunderstood. Theme on Loneliness and the fundamental human heed for connection and love, emphasising hope and compassion as vital to navigating isolation and hardship.
Act 1:The theme of parental responsibility is central, as Victor Frankenstein brings the Creature to life but immediately abandons it. This act of rejection marks the beginning of the Creature’s suffering and shows the devastating consequences of neglecting one's moral duties as a creator or "parent."
Act 3: The theme of revenge takes over as both Victor and the Creature become consumed by a desire to hurt each other. Their actions create a destructive cycle that leads to the loss of innocent lives and, eventually, their own downfalls. These themes reveal how ambition, rejection, and vengeance can spiral into tragedy when compassion and responsibility are ignored.
Act 2: The theme of appearance vs. reality becomes clear when the Creature, despite learning language and kindness, is judged and attacked by others simply because of his frightening appearance. This reflects how society often values outward looks over inner character, pushing the Creature further into isolation and anger.
