"The Vicar of Wakefield"

“I believe I left… in The Vicar of Wakefield” (Shelley, 37).

The Vicar of Wakefield was written by Oliver Goldsmith and printed in 1766. The story is about a clergyman whose family is thrown into misfortune and the troubles he has piecing their lives back together. This is similar to the situation of Victor Frankenstein; his life and family might also be torn apart due to his recent discovery.
