I had a wonderful time reading this book. This is the first classic I've ever read. I love how reading classic makes me feel smart Hahah. So many new words to learn while reading this book.
Victor was a big whiny crybaby bitch the whole time. His problems were 10000% his own doing. This book did make me reflect on how this can be a cometary on people's relationship with the Christian God. Had quite a few annotations throughout. Also made me think a lot about how men are and how that creates a lot of very avoidable problems. If Victor would have reached out for help from any one of his family members or friends that care about him and are much too kind to him, he could have resolved his problem before he lost everything.
My favorite section of the book was part 2. This is the monster telling his side of the story. I believe the monster was pretty just in his actions. And even after all of the mistreatment, he still just wanted to be loved and accepted by humans. The monster has a bigger heart than Victor would ever be capable of. Victor is a typical self centered, whiny crybaby of a man that creates all his own problems.
