Frankie Article

This article talked a lot about how technology has had is affects on "Frankenstein". Many directors have put their takes on Shelly's classic tale, and have even added to it with sequels such as "Bride of Frankenstein" and "The Curse of Frankenstein".
I feel that this article correctly sums up the ways that Frankenstein have evolved and also kept tradition over the centuries past, and that the theme of monsters will forever be a part of tales that film makers and writers alike will create.

Frankenstein Reaction As of Now

Being this far into the book (about to start ch.23), I just expected this book to be more exciting then it is, like how it is in the movies; although I am enjoying it. I did not know it would focus so much on the turmoil the doctor endures, as well as the creature.
The monster in itself has lived up to few of the stereotypes Hollywood had created for him, so while reading his narrations I was surprised to see how actually humane he truly is.
Despite what I may have said in our debates, I do believe the monster has a soul and feelings, and should have a person to be his companion with in life, but it is just too risky for Victor to try and play God again.
