Frankenstein

Mary Shelley

Science Fiction

5/5 stars

Victor Frankenstein is a man whose passion for science leads him to create a man out of stolen body partsw and then immediately abandons him. The story is recounted by Frankenstein himself on his deathbed to a sailor, and details the tragic events that occurred during this time period as a result of his actions.

This desrves all the hype honestly, it was so good. Firstly, can I just say Victor Fraknenstein is an actual loser. He sucks like why would you make a monster then abandon him. Do you think that's okay. Also, I sympathise with the monster but I don't like that he killed the childre, he should have just killed Victor and be finished with it. Also, what was going on with the wierd cousin/lovers/siblings thing Victor and Elizabeth had going on?? Highly questionable. I can't tell if the book is an allegory for religion or motherhoood... I guess it can be both. I think this is the first 'classic' book I have ever read in full, and I really enjoyed it. Re-iterating I think Victor is a whiny loser who deserved to die.
