I'm reading the version with an introduction by Wendy Lesser for the 1831 text, so I read more than 7% today. I completely forgot about the third perspective of the voyager, I really don't remember this at all so it's very interesting. I appreciate the resources included before the actual text, such as the timeline of relevant events and literature coinciding with this novel.

I understand why film adaptations aren't faithful to the book. This is a tough sell without simplified fun horror in this day and age.

Frankenstein bothers me so much in the way that men do. He was intelligent enough to create his monster, but then not to prevent further death. Is this just a condemnation of the thoughtless evil and determined cowardice of man?

Having so many thoughts about undertones in this book, such as the effect of a son's mother's passing, neglect of women by men, the pursuit of knowledge a la the Tower of Babel....
