Morality has been questioned by people, honored by people and revered

since the dawn of time. Yet till this day not one of us can say what is morally

right? It is all up to the person’s opinions. In the book Frankenstein, by Mary

Frankenstein to himself. “Shall I, in cold blood, set loose upon the earth [a]

demon….” (162) Argues Doctor Frankenstein with his creation. If

Frankenstein does create a mate for the monster there is a chance that the

monster will not keep his promise and still terrorize everyone because the
