Frankenstein Critical Criticism

Literary professors agree that this was a Percy Shelley style of writing which appears many times throughout the story. After being married to Percy I’m sure she may have picked up writing styles and asked him for opinions in writing. This novel has numerous choppy writng places with terrible prose and phrasing such as, “When I reflect, my dear cousin,’ said she, ‘on the miserable death of Justine Moritz, I no longer see the world and its works as they before appeared to me” (Shelley). This unexperienced writing shows that a 19 year-old did in fact write this story. The story Frankenstein received the following critique that it was a, “tissue of horrible and disgusting absurdity.” This black mark on

Shelley's Justine is symbolic for Victor Frankenstein’s actions throughout “Frankenstein” In Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” the character Justine is used a motif for Victor Frankenstein’s foolish actions and decisions throughout the entirety of his journey through character description and other’s dialogue in the few chapter Justine appearances in. At the beginning of the trail in chapter twelve, Elizabeth describes Justin as being “tranquil, yet her tranquility was evidently constrained; and as her confusion had before been adduced as a proof of her guilt, she worked up her mind an appearance of courage.” (pg.106) This description is used right as Justine is about to present herself to the court, but it’s also reflective of Victor’s attitudes

In Need of A Hero (A Discussion of Frankenstein's status as a ‘hero’ in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein) Mary Shelley's famous novel Frankenstein raised many questions during its rise in popularity. One of the main questions was where did Mary Shelley get her ideas? Some have debated that she was inspired to write the story because of a real Dr. Frankenstein.However, the more the more accepted explanation for her spooky idea was that her inspiration came from a dream she had after a night of telling ghost stories. Taravella from CAlifornia State University states in her essay Mother of Frankenstein saying, “In her preface to Frankenstein Mary Shelley admits that her main goal was simply to write a ghost story.” Another main question raised by the novel is who should be blamed for the monsters evil actions. Some argue that it’s the creator's fault, reasoning that he's the one who created him even though the monster never asked to be created and treated so terribly.

I have chosen Crank , as my short story. This story is written by Ellen Hopkins , It is very interesting and yet inspirational to a lot of people. Many people can relate to this type of book because they have been "flirtin' with the monster." As stated in chapter 1 of “Crank” , This book is different than others , it is wrote in poem form. With short paragraphs and words all over the page.

The novel, Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepety has becomes one of the best book I have ever read. In know that can be a cliché statement to make but the novel is truly exquisite. The author put the reader on a page-turning journey through her juicy plot, her unique writing style, and the historical event added to the book. The novel Between Shades of Gray will soon be a classic all will get to know. The book begins, with the main character, Lina a young inspirited artist and her family getting arrest.

However, there seems to be a growing awareness of that mistake, as it is, rather comically, usually immediately corrected by a listener or even a passer-by. This may seem like a hopeful transition towards a greater general and public understanding of Mary Shelley’s novel. Yet, there are still misconceptions and common mistakes revolving around Shelley’s most famous novel. For instance, Daniel Cabrera uses Frankenstein’s creature and Rabbi Loew’s Prague Golem as an analogy to modern technology. He does not confuse Frankenstein and his creature, but he describes the creature as a “nameless monster made by a Dr. Victor von

Even though the movie is based off of the book written by Mary Shelly, there are more than a few differences between the two. One of the more distinct of them, is the naming of the characters, “Dr. Frankenstein 's first name is Henry, while his best friend 's name is Victor Moritz. In the novel, the doctor 's name is Victor Frankenstein, while his best friend is Henry Clerval” (Trivia). This can be confusing to those who watched the movie first, before reading the book.

Frankenstein is a book filled with puzzling hidden connections that can relate to what majority of us go through in American society today. Quotes throughout the novel create a piece of inspiration that we can look up to when discovering similar times. The diction revels pros and cons on how Starting off the novel At the trial for Justine Moritz, Elisabeth states vindication by saying “It may therefore be judged indecent in me to come forward on this occasion, but when I see a fellow creature about to perish through the cowardice of her pretended friends, I wish to be allowed to speak, that I may say what I know of her character.” She shows her friendship and support to Justine by touching the court with her moving words. By doing so it

For those reasons it has encouraged me to like the book and the various ways she wrote it. Ayn Rand was able to go through the story and gradually transform collectivism to individualism which was spectacular. She was able to make it so at the beginning, it was straight collectivism, slowly developing into individualism. I genuinely like at the end how individualism is the key aspect to the story; how “equality 7-2521” is able to discover himself and who he could be. He states “I wonder, for it is hard for me to conceive how men who knew the word "I," could give it up and not know what they had lost”(page 96?).

Even though it contained many themes of our everyday life, mainly it consisted of knowledge can lead to bad things. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley makes the theme evident with knowledge in the characters development. Reading the novel Frankenstein makes the word knowledge may pop into ones head throughout the text. The Webster’s dictionary defines the word knowledge as, “Understanding gained by actual experience; range of information; clear perception of truth; something learned and kept in the mind” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary).
