Frankie

WOW! Frankie has been a drama filled journey so far. This book has been written so well that some of the time i can't even understand it. It is such a good book but every time I dig deep into the meaning I always think about how unrealistic the plot of the story is. I don't think that anyone would be able to recreate a person with all different body parts. Mary Shelley must have been going crazy. She had to have a twisted mind to write about this "monster" creating scientist. But, that i think is what makes the book such a classic. Her life actually ties into the book by some of the same depressing events, such as, Victor's mother dying as well as his brother. Since Mary Shelley had a complicated life this must have let her let go of her feelings.

I have a feeling that the "creature" is going to come back and kill Elizabeth. She is Victor's most prized possesion. "I felt a wish for happiness and thought with melancholy delight of my beloved cousin or longed,... that had been so dear to me in early childhood"(173). In chapters 20 and 21, Victor's outlook is changing and he seems very enveloped in Elizabeth. But, who knows? This book has gone if many different ways then i expected. So what is going to be the next event that happens?
