Theme

There seem to themes of fate and how events are inevitable and unchangable. Frankenstein is faced with the death of several members of his family. He takes responsibility because he blames the creation of the monster as the source. However, he knows that he is unable to change these events and that whatever is supposed to happen will end up happening. He accepts his fate even though it is hard. He works to prevent future destruction but knows that in the end it is not up to him to decide.
