My impressions!
At last I READ the book. I perceive mixt feelings. In the beginning of the hero's story I felt curiosity, it was interesting for me to know from what material the monster is made. Soon I was sorry of Frankenstein's brother anf certainly of the narrator too. When I read a Victor's creation confession, I understood that he is unfortunate and he needs to be happy, to be loved, like every human being. Then, I felt sorrow because of monster's misery. But wnen he became cruel and murdered Klerval and Elizabeth, whom I really liked, I became confused.
I understand that Victor is a kind of criminal, of monster, because he was obligate to make his creation happy, to gift him a good life, not only life. Victor is like a cuckoo who leaves his children when they are little and helpless. It was interestind for a scientist to create a human being, a smart man who can reflect, who is strong as nobody from people. But it is irresponsibly, as I already wrote.
In the next chapter of Mary Shalley's Frankenstein Victor died. He is completely exhausted, but he died without hatred. He wants to murder his foe, but he has no energy, no power. The death is coming and in the WALTON's discussion with Frankenstein's creation I saw that he is really unfortunate and he dreams about the death, because every day brings him misery.
I liked this book, but I really mixed my sentiment of sorrow. I think that if somebody imagins himself in the monster's shoes, he will understand that you are unfortunate when you are all alone. When you don't have an interlocutor, a person who love you, or somebody else. This book shows to everybody that we must be happy of that we have, because every day we live, not just survive. We must be pleased of that!!!!

Kate, CONGRATULARIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm extremely pleased that you READ the book. Well-done! Believe me it means it's a book worth reading if it arouses mixed feelings. Controversies make us think and revise some of our ideas. We kind of see things diffrently, from a new perspective. You are absolutely right, it's hard to state who's the real monster. Or was there a monster? I liked your comparison with the cuckoo bird :)
ОтветитьУдалитьDefinitely what the author wanted to highlight is that people should be responsible for their deeds, an idea that you'll encounter in Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince".
I look forward to your presentation!!!
