Reaction to Christopher Schildt

Christopher Schildt made a good point when he said, "There's a bit of the creature in all of us"(Whitty). he was saying that Mary Shelley knew the feelings of loss, and pain, and being excluded. so did everyone else in the world. We have all at one time or another felt like the monster when he said, "I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me,"(Shelley 133). Shelly was not trying to condem science, but was instead trying to show the effects of being ostracized by society. The monster being cut off from humans caused to react badly towards situations that involved them. If we cut people off and don't pay attention to them, it could cause them to react in a bad way.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, is considered one of the first and most exciting horror stories of all time. It has however not met my expectations. The scene when life is given to the creature created by Victor is one of the most famous scenes. It would be expected that this would be a scene full of excitement and fear. Instead, Mary Shelley simply says, "I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open"(43). This could have been the most exciting scene ever because nothing like this had been done before but instead, it was a barely exciting section of the story. Mary Shelly was a very talented writer but the novel Frankenstein has disappointed me.
