Characters—

Frankenstein is a novel of suspense and horror. The story is about a man from Switzerland named Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein is a scientist who discovered a way to make anything come to life. He obtains body parts from cemeteries and put together a man. To his surprise, the man he created was ugly. Frankenstein is horrified and abandons his eight foot tall creation. The eight foot tall man doesn’t have a name but the book refers to him as a monster. The monster is basically a newborn baby except he is eight foot tall. He is unattractive and everywhere he goes he scares off the entire people. Frankenstein, like anyone else, has is feelings hurt because of all of the rejection he experienced. The monster is angry at Frankenstein for abandoning him and not providing support in his time of need and anguish. The monster turns into an evil monster and murders the loved ones of Frankenstein including his innocent younger brother and his adopted sister, Justine. The monster and Frankenstein are the main characters of the story in addition to Frankenstein’s family who eventually dies before Frankenstein. The novel is quite a sad story because both the monster and Frankenstein misunderstand each other they hate each other because of it. In my opinion, Frankenstein should have been a better keeper or a father figure of the monster. If he actually loved the monster, the monster wouldn’t really be called a monster and the horror themed novel would turn into a happy one. I felt very sorry for the monster because right when he was brought into the world, he was abandoned and had to learn about life on his own. He was rejected and chased out of towns by angry mobs and had to live secretly in the shed of the Frankenstein is a unique novel not just because of its storyline of the monster and its pursuit of happiness, but the two characters who drive each other insane unto death.
