Frankenstein
Victor Frankenstein is driven to the edge of insanity by his obsession with making a living creature. Using scientific experiments, he brings a monster to life, but when the creature begins to breathe, it’s clear that it’s intelligent and sensitive.

The character Frankenstein is a monster. He was created by Victor, a very smart boy. But they don't have a happy ending.
I think it is very cruel because men and women are so mean to the monster. It makes sad when I read the bride was murdered right after the wedding.

Despair, madness and endless fear - I admire this book.
I didn't approach it with much curiosity from the very beginning, even after I started reading letters to Margaret, they didn't encourage me, and then- I couldn't tear myself away from her.
Frankenstein, the man of science, makes me feel a sadness that I cannot bear. He is such a miserable and tragic character whose fear and apprehension of the Monster I understand, but I have no sympathy for the scientist. Unlike Victor, the Monster seems to me to be good, but damaged by the lack of sympathy and his "foulness".
In conclusion, I swear my Frankenstein story has only just begun and I'm going to delve deeper into it.

One of the finest pieces of fiction ever written. I don’t care how you read it, you feel sorry for the ‘monster‘. He didn’t ask to exist, he didn’t ask to look the way he looked, and when he asked for kindness in return from his creator, he was treated even more horribly by the one person who you would think would ‘love‘ him.
It was great to read the original story because it has been distorted over the years with the many adaptations released.
