Detailed explanation-1: -Upon their return to England, Mary was pregnant with Percy’s child. Over the next two years, she and Percy faced ostracism, constant debt and the death of their prematurely born daughter. They married in late 1816, after the suicide of Percy Shelley’s first wife, Harriet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Following the cremation of Percy Shelley’s body, his heart was still relatively intact, although burned. It was taken from the ashes by Leigh Hunt, one of Percy’s friends. Mary kept it for her lifetime. When she died, it was kept by their son, Percy Florence Shelley and was buried with him when he died.
Detailed explanation-3: -Clairmont may have been sexually involved with Percy Bysshe Shelley at various periods, though Clairmont’s biographers, Gittings and Manton, find no hard evidence.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1816, Mary, Percy, and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made.
