Boundaries are icebergs


Boundaries can cause people to sink. Rose is intelligent and knows the rules of her class and what are the proper ways of doing things. Like Dr.Frankenstein, she pushes past these boundaries. Dr. Frankenstein has boundaries in almost every aspect of his life. He has them in science, love, family, friendship and even himself. However, when he tries to push past them, he ends up with consequences he never would've thought of. For Rose, the boundaries she accompanied were from environmental conditioning, which she broke away from. Her consequence involved losing the one she loved. However, she differs from the scientist because with that loss, she gained a greater appreciation for life. Both characters share the want to break free and discover the world. What makes them significantly different is that Rose was courageous and everything she did came from a place of love, not selfishness.
