Frankenstein
by Mary Shelley
One thing that has always amazed me about Frankenstein is that Shelley was only eighteen when she started writing the classic novel and she was largely self-taught.
However, the idea of the creature having a female companion kept nagging at me throughout the novel--if he had created the female counterpart, would the creature have kept its word and left humans alone? Would they have, as Frankenstein wondered, been able to procreate and fill the world with these monsters? "...a race of devils would be propagated upon the earth who might make the very existence of the species of man a condition precarious and full of terror."
