Frankenstein and history connect to each other because, Frankenstein was influenced by both enlightenment and Romantic-era thought.The drama dramatizes the clash between the eighteenth-century enlightenment and nineteenth-century romantism Shelley targeted the enlightenment idolatry of reason and mechanistic forces by attacking the idea that man was a predictable and rationally controllable machine.

Victor Frankenstein is a generally sympathetic character with an enquiring mind and a interest in scientific development. However, his ambition leads him to become arrogant and extremely single-minded. He neglects his family, abandons his creation and fails to take responsibility for his actions which leads to the death of many of those who should be near and dear to him. Gradually he comes to realise the full extent of what he has done and sets out to destroy the monster even at the cost of his own life. Despite hunting the Monster across the length and breadth of Europe, Victor fails in this mission and dies in the Arctic wastes aboard Walton's ship.
