Question

Tell how victor Frankenstein's parents met.

Answer 1

Alphonse Frankenstein met Caroline Beaufort when he was helping her after the death of her father, a close friend of his. Their meeting led to marriage, embodying themes of compassion within 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley.

Step-by-step explanation:

Victor Frankenstein's parents met due to a series of compassionate circumstances. His father, Alphonse Frankenstein, was the friend of Beaufort, a merchant who had fallen into poverty. When Beaufort died, Alphonse took it upon himself to search for and take care of Beaufort's daughter, Caroline. Alphonse found Caroline in a state of destitution, took her under his protection, and eventually married her. This act of kindness and charity highlights important themes in Mary Shelley's novel, such as the impact of environment on character and the complexities of human relationships.

Answer 2

Coraline/Caroline Beaufort (Victor's Mother) was the young daughter of a friend of Victor's father. Caroline and her father were very poor and her father became ill. Soon, he died and so Victor's father took her in and they later married.
