- The only truly fictional aspect of Frankenstein is the actual idea of one man giving life to an inanimate being, as we as humans are entirely ignorant to how life can be created. The emotions, morals, and ideals, however, are entirely non-fiction.
- It is rather unlikely that Victor would choose to create a giant; why would he give his creation power over himself, especially with his massive ego? (I found this comment rather amusing)
- A huge theme in Frankenstein comes from the point of view of the creature, and the idea of what it means to be alone in the world.

I also agree that that second point was rather amusing especially because it was clear Victor was surprised once he opened his eyes to the horrible creation he made.
ReplyDeleteJustin, these are all great, insightful points!
You highlight the main points of the review and I agree. I also found your second point interesting. Very thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree and find your comment on Victor's ego to be interesting. At first I didn't really feel that Victor was egotistical;however, now I understand how he in fact has huge ego which especially comes out during his research.
