Percy Bysshe Shelly
On Frankenstein
According to the book, this response was written in 1817. This person tells how they believe the story of Frankenstein to be one of the most original productions up to this point in history. The writer of this response brings to question the mental state of Mary Shelly when Frankenstein was written. They ask what emotions one must feel in order to create such a story, one thats unlike other stories and uses a vast imagination to create. They also place attention on the most basic and elementary ideas and emotions that the reader is cause to better understand by reading the story of Frankenstein. One as simple as if you treat a person badly, they are likely to become a wicked person. Again this response brings attention to the evidence of original imagination with example that there has been no other character in a story or history written similar to the creature in Frankenstein.
I think this is a good response to the story of frankenstein. I’m not finished reading the story yet, will be finishing it in the next few days. I agree with this persons ideas of the story so far. Even before reading the story of Frankenstein, one can consider the uniqueness of the story because of its overwhelming reference in society. Not everyone has actually read the story, but almost everyone has heard of it. At the time it was written it must have truly been an original story with great imagination. I too wonder of the intense feelings of emotion and imagination that Mary Shelly exhibited in writing such a story.
here is a cool page with an analysis of the characters in the book.
