Shelley

Frankenstein

Frankenstein was an enjoyable read, and it makes it easier that the general storyline has become common knowledge. I haven’t read this book before, but since it’s so iconic, i was already familiar with a lot of the story and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Frankenstein

When I was younger I went through a phase where I only read old British and American classics. While I read most of them somehow Frankenstein managed to slip through the cracks. Perhaps it was because I wasnt sure what … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Thoughts on Frankenstein

Before having read this story, my only mental image of Frankenstein was a green monster who yelled unintelligibly and chased people around. But clearly the story has more much to it. It is interesting to look at this book and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Frankenstein and Adam

Frankenstein has always been one of my favorite books. I like reading ominous messages about society, and I like reading books where you are reading the actual story only partly, but it feels like there is a far bigger subtext … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Frankenstein

Frankensteinis one of those books that really just tugs at my heartstrings. It truly makes me upset reading it, almost to the point of tears. I read this a while back, and rereading it left me with the same emotions… The reason I say this, is because the tale of the monster just is so […] Continue reading →

Frankenstein

So…I had a nice conspiracy theory blog that I was just about to upload, then my laptop went and crashed on me, resulting in the complete loss of said blog, and rather than rewrite the damn thing, I decided to take a book analysis I did in high school (for this book, of course) and […] Continue reading →

Frankenstein

Out of all the books that we’ve read so far in Arts One, and perhaps including the books that we have yet to read, Frankenstein is my favourite. I liked it for both personal and academic reasons. We’ve encountered various … Continue reading → Continue reading →
