Memorable Character

From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the monster stood out to me the most. Throughout most of the story, there are several different people "telling the story" in a sense and it is easy to get a little confused. However, in my mind, the monster telling his own story stands out to me the most. While I read from his point of view, I was constantly thinking how interesting it was that a monster created from different parts and was not meant to be "one" with the human race could grow on his own to become so intelligent. It made me think how easy it is in our society today to create something so small that can turn into something much greater.

  1. For me it's the combination of his intelligence and his loneliness that make his story so moving. He tries so hard to become human but is always rebuffed and left so totally alone.
