  1. Comparing Kathryn Stockett’sThe Help to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein CPT Seminar Presentation

  2. The tragic hero trait of isolation and the deadly sin of wrath have the power to shape and alter the lives of the main characters throughout a work of literature. In the novel The Help, the trait of isolation shapes both the Caucasian and African American characters in the novel as the issue of isolation lead to further evidence of racism and discrimination. In addition, isolation also plays a role in Shelley’s text as Victor’s creation feels the pains of isolation and resorts to desperation as he attempts to connect with society. Isolation in both texts leads to wrath and this is evident in Stockett’s text as Minny seeks her revenge on her Caucasian employer. Furthermore, the monster allows his isolation to turn to wrath as he seeks revenge upon his creator Victor Frankenstein. Therefore, in Stockett’sThe Help and Shelley’s Frankenstein, the tragic trait of isolation is apparent and leads to wrath, as oppressive characters assert their revenge.
