Frankanstein Post #1

Personally, I enjoyed reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The struggles that each of the characters face are universal, and even though the circumstances are hard to relate to, the emotion at the core of it all is easy to understand. Frankenstein's creature contemplates mankinds morals, and points out some of society's hypocricies. It is easy to see how a new creation could be confused about the idea that possesions are what shows the successes of man instead of intangible virtues, and how quickly a seemingly understaning society could be so judgemental. Shelley illustrated this point well in the creatures naievte, and it was a refreshing perspective for the reader.
