I love how the story starts with four letters that are Robert Walton's letters to his sister back in England telling her about his dangerous mission. These letters introduce us readers to the book and somewhat hook us in into the book. From these letters, one of the main character of the book is introduced. Victor Frankenstein. Robert Walton is an explorer as well. His attachment to Victoir is indescribable. He understands and communicates with Victoir as if they had met long before. Victoir starts telling Robert his story as his last breath is about to be taken..
Victoir Frankenstein has had a cheerful childhood. He describes his dads love to his mother as "protective". He was brought up in Geneva and was fascinated into learning about ancient things. Everything changed as soon as he went to a university of modern science. This university led him to think in a new way. What is beyond life? What is the secret of life? Frankenstein was so into science that his creative yet careless action led him to create a monster that killed two innocent men including his father. And now was about to kill his wife and his sister. As the story continues, the monsters personality opens up. The monster was created by old body parts by Frankenstein. At first Victoir sees him with hatred and shame because of his tall and ugly appearance that scared everyone in town. But as the story continued, the monster started helping the poor, saved people from death which showed his sensible side. He was always beaten at. No one tried to understand him. Why do people judge before they hear or think? Victoir was a innocent and cheerful men. But now he turned into a men with guilt and shame. He was so full of shame that he did not approve his mistake. Is he changing?
In the book, bravery, solitude, secrecy and knowledge can be seen as the main themes of the book. As I said before, I knew that this book would teach me a new lesson. What will happen next? I think that Victoir will try to understand the monster and try his best to change things into better situations. In my opinion, Victoir is a brave and intelligent man. But yet, I am confused about how he could try to "compare" himself to the all mighty; God. What goes around comes back around. His own creation killed his own father. Pitiful.
There is another moral I can see from this book. Don't judge a book by its cover. :)
