Frankenstein Book Review

    Created by a teenage girl named Mary Shelley in the early 1800s, Frankenstein is still considered a masterpiece of horror literature.

Frankenstein is a sad story of mistakes, morals, and life. A man of science and magic named Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with the idea of creating life. He begins a project of making a man out of dead people. When he brings the creation to life, he panics and abandons it. The creation, who is like a child. must learn to grow up on it’s own. He soon becomes bitter towards humans because they hate him, and the once gentle creature turns to evil.
It is one of my favorite books, and I love how deep it went. I couldn't help but feel empathy for the neglected creature, who only wanted to be loved and raised by his “father.”
One of my favorite parts of the book is when Victor finally brings the creation to life and the creation smiles at him. Victor totally freaks out and literally runs away, leaving the creature to fend for itself. The scene says a lot about Victor Frankenstein, and how all along he didn't consider the consequences of his actions.
