Knowledge is founded from experience is what John Locke states, an observation reiterated and affirmed by Mary Shelley in Frankenstein, where the monster learns merely from experience, lacking any innate ideas.

My biggest comment here is what is your “so what”? What does your observation about the monster’s lack of innate knowledge and learning from experience matter to how we understand Shelley’s text or Locke’s text or both?
Also be careful about the passive voice. Your first sentence is hard to follow largely because it is unnecessarily passive. Instead of “is what John Locke states,” why don’t you just say, “John Locke states that knowledge is ….”?
