this book could have a numerous amount of underlying meanings. I think Mary Shelley did an excellent job for an 18-year-old writing a horror story you almost route for both of the main characters at separate times you hate them and you love them simultaneously. You want Victor Frankenstein to be happy and you want the monster to be loved but you also want them both to be destroyed by one another. this book is one of those that you sit and chew on after you finish it the interpretation is up to the reader. It can be as literal as you would, like, or as metaphorical however, we was all ask ourselves with the man or the monster. Or is there not a difference between the two?
