Disappointed Love is a piece, at first glance, you can feel the emotions pouring out. It depicts a Lady sitting down crying in a white dress on the ground near what appears to be a pond or a river. In the background, we see some greenery and oddly curved trees. Laying next to the crying Lady is what appears to be a hat and a red jacket or cover The white dress and the crying indicates some sort of important event went wrong like a wedding. This makes the imagine more like the title of the peace Disappointed Love.
This piece can be related back to Frankenstein by time period, because it shows the sorrow that was trending during the Romantic Period. The same sadness and sorrow that Mary Shelly the author of Frankenstein highlights within her writing in Stein’s background. Furthermore Mary Shelly’s life story is filled with the exact same sorrow, with a lot of her family members dying at a young age.
