Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein has endured for over 200 years because of the power of its themes, which include the breakdown of family relationships and social responsibility, and the importance of personal identity.
Most people are familiar with the first ending, where Dr. Frankenstein destroys himself and his creation having created it in violation of a moral code that he developed for himself through his own sense of self-awareness.
And now I want to give this story a different and happier ending. In this alternate ending chapter to Frankenstein, Victor does not run away from his problems, but instead he decides to tackle them and does not see them as nearly as big of problems. He realizes that he needs to nurture his creation in the beginning instead of in the end when it is too late. He accepts the creature and decides to let his closest friend in and accept the creature as well. This chapter includes the romantic element of love of nature. Frank becomes fascinated with nature during Victor and Frank’s walk in the woods, and Frank and Vicki decide to live out their lives deep in the woods.
