What I find most intresting about this novel “Frankenstein” is that there are several different narrators. It is based on the letters Walton writes to his sister from the story he heard from Victor. I enjoy how the novel starts off with 4 letters even though it was a slow and different start to the novel. It didnt really hook me till Victor created the Monster. The books first narrator is Walton who is writing letters to his sister. Then Victor is the narrator followed by the Creature abd DeLancy. My favorite narrator and character would have to be the Monster. Following up to my last post about the Monster being nice. Even though he killied Victors brother William, it was out of vane because he was mad at Victor and all humans, he didnt know what he was doing, he was confused.
Chapter 15 after the Monster reads Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Sorrows of Werter, a volume of Plutarch’s Lives, and John Milton’s Paradise Lost he thinks the fiction books are real like a child would. Even though the Monster does not look like a child and is smarter than a young child he still wasn’t tault what is real and what is not. His plan to introduce himself to De Lancy because he is blind I thought was briliant. A child would’nt of thought of this; this is when I began to think of the monster as a Adult who thinks but lacks some common sense because he wasn’t brought up in a family. Thats all he wants is a family and is crushed when he is scared off by the others and vows torevenge against all humans.
Even though Victor killied a human he still shows he is nice by saving the girl. After he confesses to Victor and Victor agrees to make him a female monster and he will hide away with her the monster seems like a harmless confused person who just wants to be accepted. Victor relizes later however by creating a female monster the chance of her agreeing to live far away in a jungle are slim. The monster can’t seem to get anything he wants and no one will accept him. It’s a lose lose situation for the Monster and Victor. After Victor decides not to make the new Monster I feel for the rest of the novel he will always be looking over his shoulder. The monster vowed to get him back and we know what he is capible of and I think wants to make Victor suffer.
