Through the characters of Kathy in Never Let Me Go, the monster in Frankenstein, and Tess in Tess of the d'Urbervilles, one can see that the complexity of life stems from the difficulty in asserting one's free will and self-identity while also accepting the circumstances one cannot control or change. Simultaneously experiencing the struggling and suffering of characters trying to make sense of their lives allows a reader to develop a greater sense of empathy for other human beings.
