The overall takeaway from the book Frankenstein is, humans cannot play the role of the creator of life, people fear what they do not understand which leads to catastrophe.
A human trying to emulate the role of God through hedonistic and scientific ambition leads you to a role beyond our human capacity. Human nature is beyond control, it's instinct. We are animals, we are monsters beneath it all with our emotions of anger, revenge, and jealousy that can overpower us.
The development of human condition is crucial in child development. The lack of parental guidance, as shown with the monster, leads humans to a breaking point. We need guidance and to be molded in order to be emotionally and physically stable.
Neglect and loneliness mentally and emotionally can unstable us, it breaks us down to where we are our only friend and biggest enemy. Confinement causes insanity, the monster goes through this solitary confinement with consistently being alone and in hiding. Humans care so much about others judgement, opinions, physical appearance, and acceptance. That constantly being feared and neglected creates this stereotype that you later categorize yourself, and eventually you play the part of what's accepted.
