A review by isthisalice
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

4.0

Loved it. I like the questions it raises on justice, revenge and the responsibilities of a creator. I think you can draw parallels to God and humanity in some ways. I’m agnostic, but it makes me wonder whether God’s fulfilling that duty and what that duty even is. Is it to care of the creation or nurture goodness or faith in it? If it’s the latter, he arguably hasn’t (if he did, we wouldn’t have complete free will), but given that, is it really just for him to condemn those who haven’t followed his word or believed in him despite it ultimately not being their fault but their environments?
