This novel is a true example of the talent and genius of Mary Shelley. The novel illuminates a lot of Shelley's own personal fears, dreams and ideas concerning motherhood, love and failure. No, this book is not like the thrillers we see produced in Hollywood - but it IS an excellent representation of what real literature should be!!!
Format:Taschenbuch
Despite many strengths, Frankenstein has fatal flaws. Coleridge wrote that readers must approach a novel with "a willing suspension of disbelief," a willingness in turn nurtured by the novelist. Such suspension is required of readers because they must understand that a novelist cannot represent everything. Part of the novelist's art lies in the simulation of reality through selective withholding and revealing of various information. Conversely, novelists lose readers when they ask them to suspend disbelief too often, or to accept details or events that just do not logically seem to make sense. Such is the case of Mary Shelley and her creation, Victor Frankenstein.
Unlike its portrayal in the movies, which involves an assistant (Igor), various trips to the cemetery for body parts, and a lightning-filled climax in a laboratory, creation of Frankenstein's monster is anti-climactic. Shelley dispatches the entire incident in about three paragraphs. Just as quickly, Frankenstein is repulsed by his creation. The creature opens his eyes, Frankenstein sees its ugliness, and flees - all in the space of two or three sentences. Thus begins a slippery slope of disbelief.
Readers are expected to believe that the creature could evolve into a perfect example of cultured, Enlightened, rational thinking simply by observing a simple family and reading a handful of books. The monster's inner being is too perfect. It is inconceivable that his rhetoric, designed to make the reader sympathetic, cannot also appeal to Frankenstein. And Frankenstein himself is too blind. Once he is finally rebuked, the monster vows to avenge himself upon Frankenstein. He systematically murders members of Frankenstein's family and friends. The entire object of the murders is to make Frankenstein suffer as the monster has suffered. Thus, it is impossible that when the monster promises to be with Frankenstein on his wedding night, that Frankenstein takes extreme measures to protect himself while not even for a moment looking to his wife's safety. It's simply too much to believe.

I'm just comenting on another reader's review. This person states that there were elements of symbolism of Marxism, Freudism, Feminism and more.... I'm just wondering how Mary Shelley was able to incorperate symbolism of these ideologies when they weren't even around until the late nineteenth century. Did Shelley posses ESP? Oh well, I guess it shows that you can twist the english language around until it means what you want it to.

Before you write a _review_...
I'd just like to respond to the fellow from Minnesota who submitted a response. Shelley wrote the book in 1818. 1818. Think about it.
