Detailed explanation-1: -And then, in December of 1816, Percy’s wife committed suicide while pregnant with their second child. Two weeks later, Mary and Percy were officially married. Years down the road, Percy drowned on a sailboat trip, leaving Mary with their only surviving child, Percy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mary Shelley had a very close relationship with her father throughout her entire life. Her mother died just ten days after Mary was born, leaving William Godwin to care for newborn Mary and his step-daughter, three-year-old Fanny Imlay.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the age of 16, Mary eloped to Italy with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who praised ‘the irresistible wildness & sublimity of her feelings’. Each encouraged the other’s writing, and they married in 1816 after the suicide of Shelley’s wife. They had several children, of whom only one survived.
Detailed explanation-4: -The horizon is “red and stormy”; there are vivid flashes of lightning. Mary is only 16, and she is running away with Percy Bysshe Shelley, a man five years her senior who is not merely already married but the father of a young child.
