much like other classics it starts pretty slow but after a while the themes start to reveal themselves and the plot takes off. I don’t have a lot to say, but I like the authors way of describing characters, emotions and surroundings. The creature is my favorite.

I enjoyed the writing of Shelley immensly, though I hated Victor Frankenstein. A good insight into being different and the monster could be seen as a metaphor for disability/deformity.

Eu acho que foi uma leitura bem rápida e fluída pra mim, apesar de eu ter lido na escola.
Me encantei muito com o livro e também com a influencia dele por eu estar estudando sobre a literatura gótica e a influência desse conto pra história.

Mas acho que no geral foi um livro que me encantou bastante e eu senti prazer em ler. Acho que é um livro muito grande e sua influência foi enorme em vários aspectos pra muito do que a gente vê nos filmes e livros de horror ainda hoje em dia, mas não acho que seja o absoluto supremo da literatura gótica e uma obra de arte excepcional.

Extremely high quality writing and storytelling, but I absolutely despise Victor, and the Monster murders several people throughout the book. I did find the story inspiring for my own future writing projects though.
