Writing Feedback / Introductory Paragraph: Mary Shelley and Frankenstein [6]

Hello, I need some help with an introduction. I've tried rewriting this; I'm normally a good writer, but, to me, this just lacks rhythm and sounds incredibly clumsy. Any help is appreciated.

Prompt:

It has often been noted in literary criticism that an author reflects his or her own personal trials, tragedies and triumphs within the pages of their works, and, because of these reflections, most literary works can be, at least to some extent, either literally or metaphorically autobiographical.

In a well-organized essay, discuss how Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley reflects on, or interjects elements of, her personal life into Frankenstein. You may focus on character, plot, setting, literary allusion or some combination of the above. While you must avoid merely summarizing the plot, do not neglect to cite the text directly for support of your argument.

Introduction:

Our own personal tragedies and triumphs often permeate every aspect of our lives. For some, these are latent or inconsequential; for most authors, however, these struggles and successes are intricately woven within the pages of their writings. Mary Shelley is one of example of these authors: in her revered novel, Frankenstein, Shelley mirrors her own world in her fictional world.
