A review by nehailism
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
3.0
(3.5 stars)
Sad. Very very sad and devastating. I couldn't find any sinister character here. The monster, the demon himself was a figure of despair and sorrow. Though I hated him in the beginning, I couldn't help myself from feeling pity for the poor wretch afterward. He was innocent, just like his creator, Victor Frankenstein.
As the story continues, and it comes to the part where the monster tells his story through his POV, what he had been doing all the time after his creator abandoned him, that part of the story broke my heart.
The idea encircling the entire novel is how horrid we human beings are. How truly horrible! We judge by appearances. No matter what someone is from the inside, if he is ugly from the outside, he definitely has an ugly heart.
Unlike other horror books, Frankenstein wasn't gripping from the beginning, but as the story proceeded, and when it all ended, left me terribly sad.
