Wow. That is all I have to say! The novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley has many different surprises in it! Shelley definitely wrote a fantastic novel. Her description of how intense Victor's determination was to finish his creation had a very powerful influence on the reader. All the hours he put in, all the commitment that he needed to have, allowed the reader to see what kind of character Victor really was. When the monster becomes alive however, I was very shocked to see that Victor's first reaction was to run away from it. My first guess would have been that Mary Shelley would have had Victor feeling ecstatic and that he had achieved greatness. However Victor realizes that as soon as the monster is created that he may have made a terrible mistake.
Another part in the novel that I absolutely loved reading about was the conflict on whether or not Victor should create a partner for the monster. The conversations he had back and forth with the creature made the reader very unaware of what Victor's decision was going to be. It was very interesting reading all the thoughts and consequences Victor had to run through his head before he made his decision. Overall Mary Shelley's novel so far is amazing!!
