Write a working outline in semi-proper outline format. This does not need to be a sentence outline, key phrases are okay. Consider were quotes may go and write page numbers. Consider where sources may go and reference them.
I. Introduction
One cannot exist without the other. Like ying and yang, in literature, there is a protagonist and a antagonist. There is usually the evident characterization of the protagonist and the antagonist in a story; the protagonist is usually molded with a positive image, while the antagonist is characterized as the antithesis. However, in some novels, ironically, the good and bad blends and the simply definition of a protagonist and a antagonist becomes futile.
THESIS: In Frankenstein, it's difficult to determine lucidly whether Victor or the monster is the protagonist as they both embrace facets of a protagonist and a antagonist, which makes it harder to determine the influence of science. II. Point One: Victor suffers from the monster and makes the monster suffer.
*A. Sub point: Victor creates a horrendous monster (85)
*1. The monster kills William
*2. Evidence 2 with critic
*B. Sub point: Victor ignores the monster's existence
*1. Victor is unwilling to take care of the creature he created
*2. Victor breaks the promise he makes with the monster III. Point Two: The monster suffers, but also harms others
*A. Sub point: The monster is alienated and want to fit in
*1. The monster tries to learn human culture while staying at the cottage
*2. Quote about people's dislike of the monster (160)
*B. Loneliness angers the monster and kindles violence
*1. The monster kills William
*2. The monster kills Elizabeth
*3. The monster kills Victor's dad and Henry Clerval
*C. Monster's regret
*1. Monster's reaction to Victor's death IV. Point Three: Neither Victor nor the monster is the antagonist.
*A. Sub point: Science is the true antagonist
*1: Victor wouldn't have left home if he wasn't absorbed into science
*2: Victor wouldn't have created the monster in the first place
