Ramblings (Frankenstein)

My previous knowledge of Frankenstein was limited. I believed Frankenstein to be the monster, a green, moldy almost, looking human, scarily symmetrical for his supposed puzzle-piece past. Having a friend just read the book and hate it, I was very excited (note the attempt at sarcasm) to read the book. I have been slightly surprised when reading this book. The words form an undeniable picture that expresses excitement, hollowness, exuberance, and grief. Victor creates something which he becomes afraid of and runs away from - a sin against man-kind, creating something like he does. He was so excited and dedicated to studying science and the creation of life, and this inner joy, throughly expressed, then turned to a deep seeded disjointedness. His creation became the source of his pain and his separation from the real world. Like many books, Frankenstein has it's highs and lows, but as a whole, so far, I would give it a seven out of ten stars.
