Sympathy Regained

As I posted earlier, I no longer felt sorry for the creature and saw it as something villainous. I have decided to revoke that now that I have finished the novel. In the last few pages, the monster admits that what he had done was evil and wrong as he wept over Victor's body. Did you regain sympathy for the creature at the end of the novel?

The Undying Classic

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is considered a classic because of it's original and suspenseful story. It is different from many other classics I have read because it kept me entertained and was very readable. This novel is unlike any other novel in it's time and remains entertaining and dark to this day. How would you rank this novel to any other classics you have read?

Sickness

In the novel, Victor often falls ill and is remains ill for a very long time.After Henry is found dead Victor falls ill for a full two months, and during the time it took him to create the creature he often fell ill. I think that his illnesses are more psychologically caused, but for good reasons. How do you think you would to react to these repeated tragedies.

Who Deserves our Sympathy?

In Frankenstein the monster the one who is usually sympathized with, but to me I feel like the monster is a villain and a murderer. I at first felt sorry for the monster but as I continue reading the novel and the creatures body count increases, I feel more sorry for Victor who loses everything after the monster kills his brother and best friend. Who do you sympathize with more, Victor or his creation?

The Original vs. Other Visions

The novel is much better than I expected due to the fact that I was never a Frankenstein fan. The novel has kept me entertained and constantly proves its self as a memorable novel. I am used to the green tinted lugging idiot, but the novel makes the creature a person with thoughts and feelings and even somewhat relateable. Do you like the novel more than it's representations in film and other forms.

This play was the closest representation of the novel I have ever seen. I was extremely impressed with what I saw today. It was definitely the best play I have seen. Have you eve seen a closer adaptation of the novel?

The Warning

Mixing two subjects with this blog. Is Frankenstein possibly Mary Shelly's subliminal warning about the Industrial Revolution. If I am thinking correctly wasn't Frankenstein published around the time of the Industrial Revolution. As I see it, Mary Shelly was warning people that too much technology and knowledge isn't necessarily a good thing. Is Mary Shelly warning us of an Industrial monster?
