Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Shelley

Goddamn.
I totally relate to everyone’s feelings being dictated and reflected in the nature of this novel, Mary Shelley was real with all of that. Every time Victor and bestie met up it was super shitty weather and isolated…. I think we know what that means.
The writing was really beautiful and descriptive, especially of the different settings. I am super intrigued by the lack of specific physical description of the creature. I think it allows for the imagination to really run wild with what this creature looks like and how Victor made it.
How did he not know that bestie was gonna kill Elizabeth on the wedding night?? Victor destroyed the woman he was making so it’s pretty obvious that bestie was gonna destroy Victor’s lady friend. I was however very surprised by some of the other plot points.
