First of all, I’d like to mention how my view of the story has changed drastically since starting to read the book. I saw the play last semester here at school and I didnt really like it. I thought Victor was disgusting because I thought that he had married his blood related sister. I also just didnt like the production in general. It was too long and the acting was poor. The book is great though!! Ive actually been quite excited while reading the book because I havent read a real novel in what feels like a long time. I mean we have read parts of some books but they have been more informational books then books I would read for pleasure. What Ive been missing a lot is having a relationship with characters in a book. I have already started to feel the connection with Victor. I love reading about somebody living and dealing with a different time in history. Religion is definetly very prevalent in this novel. I love how Mary Shelley can see into the future. She is forshadowing how Science will change the world in ways that will blow peoples minds. At first it looked as if Mary Shelly hated science; that its future in this world is evil. When you see how the creature has real human emotions of love and other good feelings, you can tell that Shelly knows that there are some very good things that can come from science. In her mind, I think she knows how science can be used for evil and how science can be used for good.
Frankenstein!!!!! Rawwrrrr
