Frankenstien

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.
