The connection with Frankenstein and Romanticism

 In the book Frankenstein, there are some ties to romanticism.  For example Victor Frankenstein made reflections upon himself in chapter 5 after being alone for so long. Victor dedicated his time to the monster and became very pale and anti-social and he reflected on how he never spoke to anyone.  In the early chapters though, Victor's mother was dying of scarlet fever and Victor felt really bad for it and didn't want to leave her but he had to go to college. Also on the first three chapters all Victor did was tell his early life.  How Victors parents adopted Elizabeth and how Victor and Elizabeth have to marry according to the mother.  Also Victor got scared after he created the monster because he didn't want to see it and he didn't want his friend that he hasn't talk to in a while to see it.
