When it comes to reviewing a book, there are man different aspects that you can look from depending on the piece. Everyone can take a different view of what Mary Shelley was trying to communicate with her audience and it is a very likely possibility that it is exactly what she was trying to convey but it is also an equal possibility that she had something completely different in mind. For example, The creature had been a debate on nature vs. nurture when the book started out but in the 1930's it turned into a tale of and evil monster that must be destroyed( does that sound like a man with a name that starts with an A sound and ends with an Dolf Hitler sound) using this story to show tyranny. Then something threatening to a lot of people was technology and the vastness that it has. We became able to do many things in this time without questioning the ethics behind it. That is the theme that they wanted to portray to the people. The final theme that was they wanted to show who was the real victim? A creature with deformities and knows nothing but hatred towards him or the man who man him?

I found Frankenstein very interesting. I expected the book to be very similar to the 1970's version of the movie because that is what i grew up with but that wasn't the case at all. I was expecting the monster to be very unintelligent and the plot line to be very simple but i was shocked to see all the extra plot involved with this whole story. I thought it was interesting how the monster had so much feelings of abandonment which speaks to how people who are labeled monsters must feel. They are so out-casted by the world that they can no longer feel the bonds of belonging and just want someone to love them because they are the same.
It is sad how much time and care victor puts into projects and then simply abandons them and pretends that they never happened. He said he would get married to Elizabeth and then he ignored her for years. He created a monster and then pretend that it didnt exist. This shows that victor can't deal with his own decisions. I think this trait is going to severley effect him in the future. Even when victor goes on a boat with the stanger he asked where the boat was going even though he would freeze to death if he didn't go on."before i come on board your vessel, will you have the kindness to inform me whither you are bound?" (pg 10). Showing that he wants to be god but doesnt want the responsobilties of his actions.
