Abstract
As the title suggests, this work explores different aspects of the interpersonal relationships in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Therefore, this work focuses on the analysis of the diverse types of intercourses in which a human being can be involved with others of his kind. This analysis, at all times, exemplified by passages taken from the novel will explore both the easiness and the difficulty that a human being encounters in order to fit in the society he lives in
