Interpretation Conducive To Books Frankenstein
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

I read this years ago and Loved it! Great story and will need to read again soon. 2016 - Listened to the audiobook version and loved it....and so I was born! A man, and not a man; a life, and an un-life. Hair and lips of lustrous black, skin of parchment yellow, watery eyes of dun-colored white. The stature of a giant. A horror among men! And so my creator fled me, horrified of his creation. And so I fled my place of birth, to seek lessons amongst the human kind. My lonesome lessons learnt: man is a loving and noble creature; learning is pathway to beauty, to kindness, to fellowship. And this I also learnt: to witness what

Goodreads, Oct 20, 20__TO Mr. Frankenstein, "Oh, Frankenstein! Generous and self-devoted being! What does it avail that I now ask thee to pardon me." Dear Frankenstein! When your monster said these lines in the last, I asked myself also why did you behold the accomplishment of your toil on that dreary night of November!Yes! He repented!But your creation did not remorse before he had urged his diabolical vengeance to such an extremity.What a wonderful man you were, Frankenstein! So ambitious,
I dont really know what I was expecting though more comes to mind. Lets start with what I liked about this book. I liked the idea that the monster is made a monster by the treatment he receives from humanity. He is ugly and humanity does like to punish the ugly - this is a universal truth about us that in itself is also fairly ugly.The other thing I liked was that standard ploy of gothic novels the multiple Chinese whisper narration. In this the story is all written in a series of letters and
It's been fifty years since I had read Frankenstein, and, nowafter a recent second readingI am pleased to know that the pleasures of that first reading have been revived. Once again--just as it was in my teens--I was thrilled by the first glimpse of the immense figure of the monster, driving his sled across the arctic ice, and marveled at the artful use of narrative frames within frame, each subsequent frame leading us closer to the heart of the novel, until we hear the alienated yet articulate
I gave this book a try based purely on the amount of hype surrounding it and I completely agree with your review. I was rather disappointed as well.
