No sabría decir que esperaba de este libro, pero desde luego no lo que he leído, mucha charla y poca acción. Básicamente tenemos 3 puntos de vista: el primero irrelevante, pero nos muestra el principio y el final de la historia, el segundo me ha parecido el mejor de todos porque el monstruo era el único interesante y el tercero típico de los hombres con poder, extremadamente egoísta y egocéntrico.

Hubo cosas que me sacaron un poco de la lectura como las descripciones irreales de los lugares y las situaciones, aunque teniendo en cuenta la edad a la que Mary Shelley escribió este libro, entiendo que tiene sentido.

Al final es una historia sobre la moralidad y como el trato que damos a los demás impacta luego en nosotros mismos.

Funny how the Monster had the most beautiful and wretched of spirits in the novel. Shelley also suggests that hate and love share a similarity of binding one into an unsatisfiable contract with another. Hints of fatality being the closing act to this honour bound linkage between people. However, as the Monster intends to immolate his form and leave his ashes to the whims of the wind, he leaves his spirit to posses posterity.

“If our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might be nearly free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word of scene that that word may convey to us.”

A release from the accursed physical form and a return to the sublime natural world that sparks our hearts alight.
