Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

5.0

adventurous emotional reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really like the language and writing style. I also like how the perspective changes. I found the premise if the story to be really unique and the configuration of it is really beautiful. The language and focus on emotions evoked sympathy for both characters. It followed the story of Frankensteins monster and the issues and emotions he faced as a result of being so ugly - when all he wanted was to be loved. However, because of this, it resulted in him killing several people. Simultaneously, it also conveyed the life of the man who created him and viewed him as this monster whom he regrets creating. It creates the argument of whether Frankenstein deserved a companion and should be pitied or should he not be granted a partner and instead resented.
