Frankenstein 20

Last but not least, Victor dies.

"Alas, Do you dream?" said the daemon. I do not understand what the monster meant by this. The fact that he was so torn apart by his murdering of Victor makes me sad... Why did he have to kill his creator? I wonder if we a humans would kill God if we were able to. But in the end what would we gain? The monster knows he will eventually die, and I wonder if the book could only end this way. It's like when Ms.Sobrero said Hamlet could only end the way it did, I wonder why this book could only end the way it did. Maybe I saw too much religious aspects to it, but it made it easier for me to understand. Maybe it has nothing to do with god, and just human nature itself. We are all monsters.

So what did I gain from this book. It was AWESOME. I actually think I liked it better than dracula.............. I think it's that I could relate to this book, and it wasn't as hard as I thought it was to read. So what is the monster, evil ? or a victim of life's evils? I think he's just human.

Frankenstein 19

I always thought Frankenstein ended with a village of people running to kill him because he was a monster but was innocent. In reality he was innocent, but became tainted. In a way I sympathize Frankenstein because it was not his fault he was made.. I wonder if God feels guilty for making us? I mean I'm not too religious, but I just sense a lot of religious ties to this book. "My reign is not over," is what the monster said. It's so sad, it's like seeing a family broken apart. I could tell the had a father and son bond, but it was never meant to be..

Look who died,
  1. William
  2. Justine
  3. Henry
  4. Elizabeth
So Victor seeks revenge and even tells Walton who I forgot was, to seek revenge if he himself ever dies.

Frankenstein 18

I think Victor got what was coming. He created this monster and it killed his best friend. Maybe it's like God regretting that he made man kind, because mankind betrayed him. But... i don't know for sure.. Why hasn't he told anyone yet of his monster? And where is he hiding? Seriously man, like If I knew some beast might possibly kill me or my wife I'd let everyone know. It reminds me of spy kids when the creepy guy was hiding away from these creatures he made because they thought they were going to hurt him.

Frankenstein 17

Again..... Frankenstein proved me wrong. Instead of creating his bride, he destroys her! I don't get him, it's like he's so stuck between whats wrong and right................Wow.. that just sparked me another religious thing. Honestly I have no idea if this book has any religious ties to it, but it reminds me of like a person debating to sin or to live a holy live, and it's so hard to make the right idea. Sometimes that's how I feel. Maybe I should go make some monsters.

Frankenstein 16

I wonder what drives Victor to do what he does. Maybe the death of his mother really just affected him, and the fascination of life and death is what makes him do what he does. It's like he finally has the ability to control something in his life, the ability to control life. It's like why anorexics don't eat, because that's the only thing they can control, eating. He feels all this guilt but still he allies with the monster, and even goes off to create him a bride! I feel the monster is more sane than he is.

Frankenstein 15

Almost there!

So, I find it interesting that the monster wanted a mate due to his loneliness. It's like Victor always being so lonely. I think the drive that made the monster kill due to loneliness, is like the impulsive drive Victor gained when his mother died, also tied to loneliness. Again, so why do people call the monster Frankenstein, if Frankenstein is the creator. This is where the Bride-of-Frankenstein spinsoff, but ... Frankenstein is the creator?

Frankenstein 14

I wonder how the scene went between Frankenstein and the blind man. Like when Felix caught him, was he like "Wait wait, I'm innocent." But then again, If I saw a monster talking to one of my relatives, I would be like WTFUDGE!? and freak out.... moral of the story? Don't judge a book by it's cover. Now another religious tie ? Okay so the monster kills William, who is part of the Frankenstein family. And since the monster is almost like a part of the family, it is kinda like Cain and Abel, the first sin in the bible.

I don't think the monster is a monster, I think he's just human.
