Post 2

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?
