Why Frankenstein?

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley seems to be a book of adventure. From the cover of the book, I can assume that this book will lead me to a story of fear and dangerous lessons in which my heart will stop a beat and will teach me a new moral each time I turn the page. On the cover of the book, there is a quote which goes like this, "If I cannot inspire love, I WILL CAUSE FEAR!" This quote was one of the reasons why I got pulled to reading this inspiring novel. I am looking forward to a book of adventure and anxiety. Yet, I am worried if I will be able to like this book because I am not used to reading fearful books.

Mary Shelley, the author of this novel was born in London in 1797. Shelly usually wrote books to alleviate  herself because she had gone through a rough past. Her father inspired her. He as well enjoyed writing letters and books. She usually wrote books about courage, spirit and wish. She always wrote books that had a strong meaning to the worldly events.

Frankenstein was one of the books that attracted scholars into reading her book. She got even more popular after writing this book. I am looking forward to the mixed emotions I will be feeling while reading this book. It is certainly a good book if it has been read by many people already. I am looking forward to learning a new moral in life that will certainly be used in the future.
