"Transcurre mucho tiempo antes de que la mente humana pueda convencerse de que la persona a quien se ve todos los días, y cuya simple existencia parece parte de la nuestra, se ha ido para siempre; pasa mucho tiempo antes de que podamos convencernos de que la mirada brillante de un ser amado se ha apagado para siempre y de que el sonido de una voz familiar y querida se ha acallado definitivamente, y nunca más volverá a escucharse".

Frankenstein certainly feels like he was written by a woman but Shelley creates such an engaging and thought provoking story that I’m almost anti science

Mary Shelley would be so Alan-Moore-mad if she saw what has happened in the recreations of Frankenstein’s monster in pop culture

Really loved this! Jaw was dropped when they announced that the body was Clerval. I was rooting for the monster ngl

3.5/5
I was expecting more eeriness based on how it’s always been described. Also expected more sci-fi throughout the rest of the novel. But the writing was gorgeous and the monster’s story is heartbreaking. Frankenstein was a dick.
