1. Honors Component: The Frankenstein family has a very interesting style one can notice right of the bat as Shelley begins describing the family. They are a very close nit and Victor knows this describings his parents romantic love story and their philosophies in life saying, “My parents were possessed by the very spirit of kindness and indulgence” (Shelley). Their family almost seemed picture perfect and Victor even says this in a way stating, “No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself” (Shelley). The reader could tell the unending love this family had for each other even Victor for his younger sister when talking about Elizabeth, she is “my more than sister, since till death she was to be mine only” (Shelley). Overall the Frankenstein family has a great relationship and seems to be based off of great morals.
