Frankenstein

I remember having to read Frankenstein in High School. And I never really got why no one liked this book. It was kind of hard to get into in the beginning with all the letters and what not. But after you get into it its pretty easy to follow. I just really feel bad for Dr. Frankenstien. But then, you also get the story from the monsters viewpoint, which was very interesting. He basically had to grow up all by himself, without anyone to teach him. He basically was an orphan, a kid rejected by his father, rejected by basically anyone who he came in contact with, even after he learned how to speak, he still didn’t even get the chance to explain himself before he gets assaulted. Which really shows you how the monster really isn’t bad by nature, it was just all these series of events that made him bitter and hateful towards mankind. Even Frankenstein, after hearing his story didn’t want to help him, just because of his appearance.
There’s one thing that I didn’t really get about Dr. Frankenstein, is how he didn’t realize that the monster was going to kill his wife and not him, I mean, it was really obvious because the monster was always killing the ones he loved and never really went after him, I don’t know how he didn’t see a pattern in that, or not even thought about possibility that his precious wife was in danger, after all what’s worse then losing someone you really love. That would be the worst thing that could happen to anyone.
Death probably wouldn’t be as bad as that.
But that’s about all I have to say about this book. I wouldn’t really read it out of free will,but i still enjoyed it.
