Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creatures hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein (Goodreads).
Although extremely wordy, Mary Shelley's Frankentstein is definitely well-written, showcasing an incredible level of poetic narration and diction. This diction, however, is quite overused and distracts the reader from the otherwise engaging plot. Character dynamics could also be improved upon, except in the case of Frankenstein's creation, who is extremely well developed. An emotional ending to fill out an otherwise pointless frame story adds to the depth of the overall story. 6.6/10
