Frankenstein: Are the events in the reading clear to you now? How do you feel about the characters and the story now? Are you deeply involved in the book? Why or why not?

I really like the character of Victor because even though he is complicated, he is relatable. It reminded me of a time when I did something bad and I let my older brother take the blame and punishment. After I saw that it was unfair I felt guilty. This is not the same with Victor because my brother was not killed, but it was the same human emotions that caused everything.

I like how Victor feels guilty, but still does nothing about it, this shows just how selfish he is. The monster I like to. I feel bad for him because no one likes him and he feels so alone in the world. The fact that everyone in town rejects him also shows a lot about humans and how judgmental we are about appearances.

I am not really into the book now; I want to know what will happen in the end. I have my guesses as to what might eventually happen to Victor and the monster but I want to know how the other characters will tie in to the story. I want to know what will happen to Elizabeth because right now she is everything to Victor. So I want to see if eventually his selfishness will cause him to lose her like he lost the rest of his family or if he will try to do something to help her and himself.

Right now what makes me really angry is Victor, I feel like everything in his life was so simply and he had to make everything so difficult. I really like the passage in where Victor goes to ponder. I feel like nature plays a role of peace for him and it is the only thing which is pure in his life. The nature also adds a lot of the romantic aspect to the novel.
