The Review
The first true science fiction novel with the story that gives hope to humanity's never-ending battle against death, but in a twisted way that depicts love, hatred, innocence, treachery, and a child-like brain collecting all the information it can while trapped in an enormously strong adult body made out of dozens of corpses.
One of the two most iconic horror characters who single-handedly changed the way horror and science fiction are written. The iconic story of a monster that rebels against its creator.
Although it is a well-known story, the writing style is as old and classic as the story itself. So don't be surprised if you don't understand some of the dialogue. And the way traveling and scenery are used to depict the passage of time and consume a large portion of reading time may turn off some modern readers, but keep in mind that this was the norm at the time this book was published.
But, if you can understand the old style then you can see the author possesses an innate ability to transport the reader to a world of intense emotions. Her strong use of imagery and excellent use of point of view don't waste time in transporting the reader into a profound experience. Her work is masterful at evoking emotions, transporting you to the agony of loneliness, the ugliness of human nature, and the high price of ambition.
I have read several different versions of this story, and the main difference was always the words. the words that make it difficult to read or the words that make it easy or very easy to read, such as children's library editions One constant was the classic character and his suffering and realization that he needed to stand up and demand justice from his creator. This is a metaphor/allegory to humans and God for me.
One of the most heartbreaking stories, it depicts the monster that lurks within all humans and then the angel that lurks within the monster. I wish that everyone could see these hidden gems of knowledge in these classic books and learn from them to become better people.
The monster is also the Beast; he is ugly on the outside, but his heart is pure, innocent, and childlike, just as the Beast's heart became by the end of the story.
Synopsis:
“One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'.
200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiece—a classic work of humanity and horror that blurs the line between man and monster...
The story of Victor Frankenstein who, obsessed with creating life itself, plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, but whose botched creature sets out to destroy his maker, would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.
A novel of hallucinatory intensity, Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination.”
