Abstract
Loneliness and fall are the main themes of Frankenstein. This paper first explores a literary interpretation of loneliness and its relationship with fall, namely that loneliness can lead to fall, but not being a necessity. Then it analyzes the causes of the monster’s loneliness in Frankenstein which are caused by failure of self-identity, reflection and acceptance of the self. It finally elaborates two main performances of the monster’s fall: the loss of rationality and the bloody revenge.
Key words: monster; loneliness; fall
