Frankenstein: Personal thoughts and feelings.

Overall Vibe

Honestly, Victor is a bad dad. Not in the fun sexy way of a guy whose mean to everyone but his child, no he IS mean to his child and pretty great to everyone else. Reading through letters and different submissions tells honest and truthful feelings towards the situations. Victor was a geek and wanted to create something through science and defying the laws of nature (making a dead guy alive again) which in itself sounds really cool, BUT Victor did it for selfish reasons. Once the Creature was alive and wasn't what victor expected he was upset and the creature leaves to find someone who WILL take care of him. 

Not excusing the actions of the creature (ie. killing and hurting people victor loves and making threats to them) but I kind of understand why the creature would be upset with Victor. Asking Victor for someone who is like him doesn't seem that unreasonable, the creature feels alone and isolated because he is in a world where he is the only one of his kind. The majority of the population is disgusted and revolted by his very existence so I get why he would want someone like him. 

Did I like it?

Yeah, I did. I understand why it's a classic and why so many people like it. Also, pretty dope that an 18-year-old woman wrote it and it became SUCH a staple in horror.
