| Post subject: | Mary Shelley's Frankenstein |
Recently read this classic horror/science fiction novel and was surprised and delighted by how good it was. Having seen so many cheezy movies featuring the monster, who would have thought that both the monster and the novel would turn out to be so highly intelligent and literate? Can be read on many different levels - as an exploration of someone playing God; as an exploration of a highly dysfunctional family; as an adventure story filled with violence and murder. Is Frankenstein wrong for having create the monster in the first place? Is he wrong in treating the newly awakened monster as he did? Should he have loved and taught the monster? Would the monster have been a monster if he had received love and guidance from his parent/creator? ****************************************************** Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell <i></i> |
