Frankenstein Thoughts
Reading "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelly, I am over all enjoying the story. I find it pretty interesting. While I am sometimes confused by the story, I have enjoyed it. The story is not what I was expecting at all. It is much deeper a story than I had expected. The story has a lot of things going on in it, and that gives it more meaning to me. Shelly has used multiple complex literary techniques and blended them together. This makes the story more unique, and helps the story to stick out from other stories. The creation of the creature, and the reaction Frankenstein has to the beast was rather interesting to me. Rather than celebrating his achievement, immediately Frankenstein realizes that he should not have created his creature. He says"His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!--God God! (35). This shows how Frankenstein hates his beast. He despises the creature, which I found rather surprising. I am finding the story interesting, and am excited to learn more.
