🧟♂️ Louvor à mãe do género da ficção científica e aos 19 anos ainda para mais! Mas para mim, foi monótono.
🧟♂️ Quem já leu clássicos reconhece a escrita bonita, poética e cheia de adjetivos, porém, certamente, também reconhecerá o típico protagonista em sofrimento e melancólico, perdido na sua desgraça ao ponto de... por isso (Spoilers)
🧟♂️ Eu não desgostei da história de vida do monstro (e aqui vai mais um mas) o seu desenvolvimento intelectual não fez sentido para mim. Ou o Frankenstein desenterrou o cérebro de um génio literário como é que ele conseguiu aprender a falar tão bem quanto o seu criador com apenas umas lições de ouvido e LENDO CLÁSSICOS? (num ano e meio/dois ele passou de não saber o que era fome e sede para ser tão bom como o seu mestre de certa forma).
🧟♂️ Eu nunca tinha sequer visto um filme e só conhecia as referências habituais (ao menos sabia que o Frankenstein era o criador 😂), o que tornou interessante descobrir a forma como a história é narrada e a quem.
(Há mais sobre o livro nos meus reels)

👨🏻⚕️ I have to praise the mother of sci-fi at 19 years old. But for me, the story felt flat.
👨🏻⚕️ For those that read classics you will recognise the beautiful and poetic writing, full of adjectives, but, certainly, also the ruined and melancholic protagonist, consumed by his suffering to the point of... from it(Spoiler).
👨🏻⚕️ I didn't dislike the life story of the monster, but his intellectual development doesn't make sense. Or Frankenstein found the brain of literary genius how could he learn to talk like his maker just from hearing and READING CLASSICS? (in a year and half/two years he went from not knowing what hunger and thirst are to being, in a way, as good as his maker).
👨🏻⚕️ I never saw a film and only knew references (at least I knew Frankenstein was the doctor 😂), what made the story interesting was discovering how it was narrated and to whom.

The complexity of Frankenstein's monster is hands down one of the best aspects of this book. I like his development and how he's becoming more human throughout the book. I believe the author did manage to make the reader feel for him. After all, he was just misunderstood and needed love.
Page 52, calm mind.
I hoped for a happier ending, but it wasn't bad.
I'm glad I read this book.
