Frankenstein Response Paper

279 Words2 Pages
This past semester I read, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. I found the novel to be extremely thought-provoking. The novel documented the experiences of a fictitious scientist named Victor Frankenstein. Victor’s unrelenting desire for control and fulfillment of his overly ambitious goals led to his downfall. Victor ambitious personality leads him to become obsessed with the idea of being a God-like character. He used various seemingly “perfect” body parts found in graveyards to create a new being that would be bound to him and made in his image. The monster that Victor creates is hideous and violent which provides a parallel for his own flaws. I believe that Shelley chose to write this novel to highlight the flaws that are present in our society.
