Read it for lit.
Depressing pre-analysis and depressing post-analysis.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a tale of corruption, lonesomeness, and terror. Dr. Frankenstein learns how his own actions to satisfy his loneliness may come back to haunt him, and Frankenstein’s monster is born with a fresh moral slate but the disadvantage of ugliness and the victim of prejudice. This story exhibits the effects of a bigoted society on one’s moral values, and how one lonely scientist takes things too far.
