Frankenstein
I really enjoyed Frankenstein, probably because it’s one of our first books in which we have multiple encounters with a monster which becomes a very human character as we learn more about him. Part of me hates the monster for … Continue reading → Continue reading →
Frankenstein!
After many bus rides to and back from work, I have finally managed to finish Frankenstein. Probably one of the first observations I made about it was how much it felt more-so science fiction than gothic/romantic (as it is usually referred as).

Frankenstein: A Cautionary Tale for the Modern Era
This isn’t the first time I’ve read Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus, but it also isn’t the first time I’ve found it enjoyable.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley was a better read than the first time round. When I was in grade 11 I feel that I wanted to dislike the book to prove the point that Romantic literature is boring. Needless to say now that I am not the biggest fan of Romantic […]

Being a hermit?
Oh Rousseau, so poetic but almost to a fault. Throughout reading his discourse my opinion on his ideas changed between agreement and confusion at his claims. His statements on evolution morph between questions to statements that are incredulous to me. … Continue reading → Continue reading →
Frankenstein the Monstrous God? his Monster and Society: The Distorted Mirror
I have to say, Frankenstein was quite depressing. Over the years, I’ve watched many adaptations, read many different versions, but the original story, while extraneously wordy at times was very depressing. I found myself sympathizing with the monster at times … Continue reading → Continue reading →
