2/25 notes

The Monster could represent many things: art, representation of child upbringing theories (nurture vs nature: monster had virtually zero nurture, could represent Victor's ego).

In one interesting study, a rise in abortion correlates to decrease in crime. When future children are not wanted, their upbringing is not proper. More people were having children who wanted to, less who didn't. This of course challenges the pro-life stance, intentionally or not. This is one of the great dividing moral issues of our time...I'm not sure that I have a strong opinion on this, maybe because I can't physically become pregnant. I know that if I were to be in a situation where a future child was mine, pro-life would be my stance in that situation.
