3rd Quarter Outside Book Review


Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, 1818

Frankenstein is about a man who when to a university and study's chemistry and anatomy. He learns so much about this two areas to the point he can create scary humans. When the monster "Frankenstein" comes alive he scars the crap out of Victor, and Frankenstein runs away. Frankenstein starts to go around trying to find victor a little while later. Frankenstein comes in connection with some family members and a family friend. He kills victors friend and his sister. The setting in the book is Geneva in the Eighteenth century. I believe the conflict of the book is that Frankenstein wants to have a partner in life but he needs Victor to build him one. Victor refuses to make one and runs away. Frankenstein kills people because of his frustration.

Mary Shelly's writing style is different then what i usually read. She just writes in a different way then other authors. " A tingling long lost sense of pleasure often came across me during this journey. Some turn in the road, some new object suddenly perceived and recognized , reminded me of the days gone by, and were associated with the light-hearted gaiety of boyhood.

I had a good relationship with the book. I would say the theme is Dangerous. Ever thing in the book is very dangerous and i belie i am dangerous at times. So i really connected with the book in that way.
