End Thoughts

As the novel draws to a close, we finally see that I have been right all along. This story is solely based on right verses wrong... Right vs. Wrong is a major theme throughout the entire novel. Was it right for Dr. Frankenstein to create the monster in the first place? Was it right for the monster to try to get love the way he went about it? Was it right for Mr. Davis to make us read this novel? What was his general idea in having us read it? Was it to have us come to realize that in everyday life we have to make decisions... right or wrong and then have to face the consequences? What about Hester Prynne... was it right for her to receive such a harsh punishment? Oops wrong book! Hope you enjoyed reading Frankenstein, and my blog as well.

Frankenthumb

I just watched Frankenthumb on Cartoon Network... It was quite funny. Didn't follow the book at all but it was interesting to watch. Why is it that so many people make short stories, plays, parodies, and other films on Mary Shelley's novel?

Right vs. Wrong

While I sympathize with the monster to an extent, at the same time I do not care for his character when it comes to the subject of companionship. Did you notice how that he went to the extreme of killing just in order to be loved and have a mate. On one hand, I agree that love is very important and is most definitely worth "fighting for!!" But... On the other hand, the monster went about it the wrong way! Right? Ladies, and gentleman, have you ever noticed that guys, or girls, when trying to attract a mate go about things the wrong way sometimes... Just like the monster! Why is that? Is there a right (or wrong) way to express your feelings towards someone?

The Bride of Frankenstein

One surprising twist for me, in the play, was when the monster took Justine and demanded to have her as his monster bride. The creature wanted to have someone to love and to show love toward him... Why do you think that the monster decided to have Dr. Frankenstein remake Justine's body?
Well, I really enjoyed the play today... except for the talkative people sitting behind me! The play really helped me to understand the monster a lot better. I even could personally relate to him. Isn't that strange... Relating to a killer? But, the creation only wanted to be loved... As do all of us. One point that I really saw in the play that left an impression on me, was that of greediness. Frankenstein was greedy, he wanted all the knowledge. He wanted to be like God in the sense of being able to create life. He felt as though he was doing good. After creating life however, he realized it was a mistake to create such a "monster". What Frankie didn't know was that the monster only wanted to be cared for and loved. Frankenstein ended up hurting, indirectly killing by means of the creature, the only people he truly loved. While watching the plot unfold, I felt really bad for the monster and, also, Dr. Frankenstein. This is a lesson for us in order to show that sometimes when we put ourselves first it can hurt others... My question for you tonight is: Did you enjoy the play? Why? Was there a specific point or scene that caught your eye and made an impression?

Your Opinion...

As I am reading through Frankenstein, I am curious as to see what you think of the book so far? I know that I was a little bored at the beginning of the book. But now, the novel is starting to pick up a lot... Do you have a favorite character that you can personally relate to? A favorite quote perhaps?
