Need Some Direction/Ideas With This

I'm supposed to write an essay for Frankenstein on one of the following topics:

Characterization
Archetypes
Imagery
Symbolism
Themes
Motifs
Social Commentary
Relevance of Setting
Comparison/Contrast of __________
Central Conflicts

I need some ideas (I'm not asking for an essay, just ideas) to point me to the right direction with this essay. I'm sort of stuck in a situation where it's impossible to read the rest of the book in time (since I was on a club trip during the time my teacher assigned this essay). I know generally what the book is about and have read many things online about it, but the teacher said that she wanted many examples/quotes from the book in the essay. And since I haven't read very many pages of the book, I won't be able to find examples in the book for any of those topics above.

If anyone would be willing to help me with this, I would appreciate it.

OK I've decided to talk about:

Theme of sublime nature
Theme of secrecy
Theme of dangerous knowledge

I just need some examples from the book for each of these and then I will be good to go for the essay (I think).

Come on... you can read this book in a day. You just have to convince yourself you are fascinated with it.

Come to think of it, you probably are better of just reading the book - its a classic!
