The subjects explored in this book, the complexities of human nature and mind, the drive and hunger for knowledge and glory to the point of destruction, the eloquent dialogues and scenery, and the describing of the most sought after emotion of all mortal beings - the longing of a companionship, has been so fervently sketched in this book; a description as comprehensive as this I have read little elsewhere. Shelley's power of narration is wonderful - I found myself siding with both the antagonist and protagonist in their respective narrations, not just with mind but with heart, and the most striking feature being the interchanging roles of the two - the protagonist was antagonist and vice versa in different parts of the story. The harrowing life the creature had led would inflict in me a sorrow, the wretchedness and agony of Frankenstein would cause me to empathize with his pain, and the battle that thus ensued between the two and its consummation was a journey that had me hooked to the end. A heart wrenching read this was, the kind that I would take a while to pick up again.
