He tells us that he is self educated, for the first 14 years of his life, he ran wild and only read books on voyage. He is 28 years old. He is a day dreamer. He has always loved reading and has a thirst for knowledge. His father died when he was young and his Uncle Thomas raised him. His father' s dying injunction forbid his Uncle from allowing him to embark on a seafaring life. He tried being a writer but failed. He inherited a fortune from his cousin.

Because someone had to finish the task of killing the monster because Frankenstein was about to die and wanted revenge on the monster.

Of course, this is rendered null when the monster realises what he has become and ultimately takes the task into his own hands.

Who was there when Frankenstein was written?

Wordsworth, Coleridge and Mary Shelley on a beautiful morning took a walk along the sea shore when they came across a portion of 'ribbed sea sand'. Coleridge commented that "it looks like the ribs of an old man lying dying there." There followed a heated discussion on what horror really is and it was decided that each one of them should write a horror poem. Accordingly the inept Wordsworth wrote The Stolen Boat which has not been heard to have caused fear in anyone. Coleridge wrote his immortal The Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner which terrified even himself. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein still continues to terrify this world.The first edition was anonymously published in London in 1818 but in the second edition, published in France, Mary Shelley's name finally appeared.Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus was written by the English writer Mary Shelley (or Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin as she was when she first conceived the story) when she was 19 years old. While on vacation with her husband Percy and Lord Byron, on a wet holiday together in Switzerland, they had a friendly contest one day to see who could write the scariest story.
