Homework Help: English

Posted by Candice on Monday, December 26, 2011 at 2:49am.

Hi, I have to write up paragraphs on these themes from Frankenstein:

a) good vs. evil (manichean)
b) duty of responsibility
c) nature vs. nurture

However, I'm confused about what the differences between these points are...

For example, in "nature vs. nurture", wouldn't you talk about how the monster was rejected by society and hence turned evil? But doesn't this fall under "duty of responsibility", as well as the evil part of "good versus evil"?

Thanks for your help!

Nature vs. nurture and
good vs. evil are two different pairs of categories entirely. The former refers to two different explanations of personality development.
