ABSTRACT
In the novel Frankenstein, the creature “monster” has no name. He is called “monster” and “devil” since he was created. This paper explores the lack of monster’s identity, tracing monster’s identity chasing journey, to figure out lacking proper identity’s impact on the monster. From the analysis of monster’s identity, people are reminded to reconsider their responsibility and stereotypes when communicating with others.
KEYWORDS
