John Galbraith once stated “there is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes it pursuit so interesting.” Beauty has no exact definition, and the quest to find ones inner beauty is the most intriguing. Society advocates for individuals to not judge others based on physical appearance, however an individual with a heart of gold with an unattractive appearance is overlooked. In Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” a young man, Victor Frankenstein created a horrifying creature who sought out for family and love. However he is rejected by society and his creator throughout his journey. Those who want to be accepted by society, must be more physically attractive on the outside compared to their inner beauty. In addition, the novel demonstrates that although to be respected by others one must show respect, physical appearance triumphs personality. Unconditionally love is given by family, but to be loved by society in the 18th century, whom are prejudice one must offer their beauty to be loved.

Furthermore, he believed that Caroline would take good care of him because he needed a woman by his side. All these factors permitted Alphonse and society to accept Caroline. Second, among all the orphaned children, Caroline’s mind was set on a beautiful young girl who was in a similar situation as young Caroline. When Caroline adopted Elizabeth, she was able to look beyond her filth and sees her beauty. Elizabeth became a permanent member of the family who brought great joy to her mother as her wishes were fulfilled. Victor describes his affection towards “[his] more than sister--the beautiful and adored companion of all [his] occupations and [his] pleasures” (23). Likewise, while the monster retold his journey to Victor, he came across cottagers whom when observing witnesses how even the cottagers whom he believed were not biased would accept one into their home based on appearance. The cottagers’ past is similar to Alphonse
