First Impressions
The first impression that I got of the monster was that he was an abomination, nothing like Victor actual wanted. Victor also portrays him as an evil, blood lusting giant who kills in cold blood. But when we actually get to hear the monster tell his side of the story, I realized that he was just like a kid. Confused and unsure about his surroundings, and just getting used to everything. The monster has quite the thought process and learns very quickly. In reality, he isn't real a "monster", it an understood creation which Victor doesn't want to face to realize that he is just like a human.

Monica, I really enjoyed how you described the monster as "a human". His humanity is a huge question throughout the breadth of the novel. Is he human? Does he deserve to be treated like an equal party? You suggest an answer to a really interesting question.
ReplyDeleteIn your posts, be sure to include relavent textual examples. This will show me that you are actually reading the book and not just reading the sparknotes.
You are missing 3 blog posts.
1. You should write a post discussing the relationship of Frankenstein (the novel) as a romantic text. How does this text relate to the other romantic pieces we have read.
2.You should discuss the relationship between nature and self in Mont Blanc. How does Shelley's sublime feeling show us his relationship with nature.
3. You need to post your three characters.
