This paper compares the concept of love in the novels, Frankenstein and A Room With a View. Frankenstein and A Room with a View both give us a striking picture of love in its barest existence and even life without it. In each novel we see characters trying to measure up to something they are not; we see the strong desire for love and acceptance, the yearning for love in the eyes that these characters look up to, whether it's in a relationship or in a family. We see that the abdication of love has long-standing consequences no matter to what context in which it is found or lost.
