Frankenstein

Frankenstein was actually not that bad, at first it started off boring and confusing at some parts. Then it started getting into the story and got kind of interesting. I like how they showed Frankenstein's side of the story then the monsters side. I thought it was interesting how at the end of the book the monster cried because his master died but through the book he was killing his family and friends and tried to kill him.

Frankenstein

Overall I actually did enjoy Frankenstein. There were some parts of the book that got pretty boring and it seemed to take forever to read but I like the overall story. Victor and the monster were intertwined with their destiny because Victor wanted his monster dead and that's all he wanted from him. It is almost as if Victor couldn't live while the monster lived because the monster killed off everything Victor loved. If he helped him, then he could have possibly been rid of him forever. On the other hand, the monster wanted to hurt Victor so he would help him but he couldn't live once Victor had died. It is almost ironic because they both lived to get revenge on each other.

sympathize thing?

I think i most sympathize for frankenstien's monster because he was left alone by his closest "father" figure. He didnt have anybody to even relate with except frankenstien and he abandoned him and left him to fend for himself. Also everyone he met and seemed to love shunned him away and thought he was a terrible monster.

moree stuff.

frankenstein has a lot of themes and lessons you could learn from if you look at certain quotes. in page 111 the monster tells frankenstein how he found the papers and read them, and how it made him feel even more embarassed and disgraced with himself, and gave him even less confidence. the monster says he created him after himself, which means they are alike in the way they are lonely and confine themseleves which makes a good point and really tells a good deal of the story in both there fates which we discussed in class.

who do you sympathize for

i personally sympathize for the moster himself because he was left to fend for himself and to teach everything to himself by himself because he was created without being taught anything or any human contact. and even though he truley wanted to be kind and friends with humans he could not because of his 'unbearable' sight. he then realized the way humans harshley judge one another and had to go into hiding and confine himself.

monster):

the character that i sympathize with the most would be the monster because it wasnt his fault that victor created him so ugly and terrorfiy and to have to discover the world on your own would suck because knowing that your own creator ran and screanes from you deffinatly doesnt make you happy or have positive feelings about the human race . i also feel terrible because of how alone and hated he was, it must have been terrible not having one single person to talk to, no relations no exsistance of love based soly on his outward appreance of which he had no control , and being doomed to walk the earth forever hated, even as kids in middle school when someone hates you it reallly brings you down or feeling you have no friends or no one to talk to well at leat you always have your family where as the monster felt like this every day of his life but never had ne family or ne thing to fall back on /:

Sympathy

My sympathy goes the the monster. Victor wanted to try to defy nature and create life, but then he created a monster who victor ran out on. The monster was abandoned by his creator. If victor took care of the monster than the monster wouldnt have been a monster. Instead victor left him and left the monster afraid and confused. So the monster left and killed to get revenge.
