- 1CreationWhile Victor usurps the role of God, his primary crime seems less the act of creation than the failure to take responsibility for what he creates
- 2AlienationBoth Victor and the creature are isolated individuals, but Victor rebels against human ties and chooses isolation, while the creature's imposed ostracism makes him miserable
- 3DoubleEmbodying a division within the human psyche, such doubles as Victor/creature demonstrate tension between the laws of society and the desires of the individual
- 4FamilyWhile the Preface claims "Frankenstein" demonstrates ideal 'domestic affections', the family is actually criticised for imposing artificial gender distinctions and for its insularity
