Romantisism , Shamequa Durrant

Romance and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley go hand in in hand. In fact the relationship between Shelley and her husband was a perfect example of the 18th and 19th century romance.   According to http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/rom.html  "Romanticism has very little to do with things popularly thought of as "romantic," although love may occasionally be the subject of Romantic art. Rather, it is an international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people in Western cultures thought about themselves and about their world." Romance seemed to be more of a political and matter of the mind than what we would think. I guess business and pleasure did work in this situation because. Percy worked along side Mary in her publishing of Frankeinstein. In Frankeinstein The monster and Victor display a pretty weird relationship we may not realize it unless this is our motive but they display each others feelings and this is romance. Chapter 11
