I am continuing to read "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelly. I have now gotten to chapter 18. In the first few chapters Victors younger brother is found murdered. His sister, Justine, is convicted of the murder. Even though the night before he believes he sees the monster he has created lurking around the town of Geneva where his brother was killed. And their for believes that his monster is responsible for the death of his brother. Soon after Justine is proven guilty and is then executed. This places tremendous grief and depression on Victor. His father then takes Victor and Elizabeth on a small vacation to their home in Belrive. Where when taking a walk in the serene mountains Victor encounters his beast. Victor then over comes his fear of the beast he goes back to the monsters cave. Where the monster proceeds to tell Victor about his confusion of his creation. And his new understanding of light, darkness, hunger, thirst and cold. He tells Victor about his observances of a poverty stricken couple and how he would leave fresh wood for them at night. This tells me that the monster is reacquiring feelings. He also learns to speak by watching this couple secretly. He then proceeds to tell Victor about all the new things he has learned by secretly spying on this family. He learns their language, how to write, and even some history. But this saddens the monster because he doesn't know where he fits into the scheme of life. One day he finds books out in the woods and begins to read them. He feels he is becoming more intelligent and gets up the courage to finally go into the cottage. He decides to approach the blind house hold member, De Lacey, in hopes that he will see though to his gentle core. So one day while the others go out for a walk the monster thinks this will be the best time. So he enters the cottage but before he as time to explain his situation the others return and chase him out, frightened by his appearance. Yes, this book has become increasingly exciting. I think Mary Shelley defiantly wrote this book for the enjoyment of others. As the story goes it was her, her husband and a bunch of their friends that got together and told ghost stories. I think that Mary was just trying to have the best story. Which turned into a best seller. So far a major theme to me is depression, and feeling sad for yourself, but knowing that somebody has always got it worse. I think the coolest character is Frankenstein the Monster. He has determination and a burning will to be like everybody else. A very interesting quote was, I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on. This shows how the monster felt about him self, this gives a great incite into what the monster was thinking about. I have no questions at this time.
