Frankenstein

ollvlla shared a tip "Read and anylazed this in high school and it has stuck with me since and wont let go. Following the life of Victor Frenkenstein, we get an overview of his passions becoming obsessions. It really makes you question who the real monster is and makes you aware of the dangers of overdoing what you are passionate about and how it impacts everyone involved. Vizualizing each scene was easy and enjoyable. Analyzing was too. One of my favorite classics hands down."

sarace shared a tip "i adore this book. and no, it’s not like the typical frankenstein you see in pop culture. it really makes you reflect on who is the true monster: the creator or the creation?"

emma_swinemar shared a tip "I was surprised at the depth of the story. It’s always neat to read a story you’ve always thought you knew, only to realize the nuance that was always left out of the retelling. I will say I didn’t particularly like either Victor or his monster and I wasn’t sure if that was an intentional effect on Mary Shelley’s part or not."

h_ky shared a tip "It's not what I thought it would be after being braised on the classic image of a green square headed monster..it was a lot more interesting 😏"

jennifer_strehle shared a tip "One of the most influential pieces of its time and in women’s history as far as writing! One of my favorites and in literary analysis. #classics"

maggie_4043 shared a tip "I found a Frankenstein book Add a free bin At my school near the library I took it home and started reading it I have never read the book I only listen to the audio book The book is good it was a little torn up from years of use but it was a really good book. Then have some pictures from the movie away in this copy I believe I'm not really sure"

audreys_oreo shared a tip "Frankenstein is thrilling and eventful but the characters are understandable at the same time. I highly recommend if you like to analyze texts."

arriele_dooly shared a tip "I love a lot of everything, lol. Love classics, Fantasy, sci-fi, romance. The Inheritance Cycle (fantasy) is always one of my favorites. That author is just amazing! I recently read his newest book, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, which is a sci-fi book, and it is also fantastic!"

crystaliscavingin shared a tip "Victor Frankenstein to the monster: “shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up” | The Monster: “i m … just , a litle creachure . i , i can not change this .”"

faith_beltran shared a tip "Definitely different than the typical green monster cartoons and TV show him to be. It's really interesting, and you can see the battle Victor goes through"

amellia_rosewood shared a tip "This book was not what society gave us. It is about a tortured soul which is that of Victor Frankenstein. Frankensteins monster was often portrayed as a man with no place in the world and void of love or acceptance. That only scratches the surface. Victor frankenstein a lover of science delves himself into what would be considered now morbid fascination . He loses himself in the process of bringing life into the world in the most unnatural way possible."

stegozel_osaurus shared a tip "I love other classics like Shakespeare's Macbeth and Othello, but I also tend to like young adult stuff. mostly fantasy like the Knight and Rogue series and Rule by Ellen Goodlett!"

kristin_65 shared a tip "I really liked this one! My English teacher in 8th grade dug so deep into this and got us to read between the lines and question who the monster is. I loved the unit about this book in school."

nicole_hyaty shared a tip "It can be a little hard to recognize who's perspective the story is in at times but this story is amazing. There's more to it than just a 'science experiment gone wrong.' In the end it has you contemplating who the real monster was throughout the whole story, and spoiler alert, it's not the creature but Frankenstein himself."

stephanie_gillam shared a tip "Not for me. I'm glad I read it but I don't understand the hype, the story is very slow paced and not much happens. Maybe that's because Frankenstein tends to be built up as a "spooky" or "horror" classic and it's far more sad then scary. But even being aware that it's not quite what media has made it out to be over the years, I still found it boring to read."
