Mary Shelley's 'A Critique Of Frankenstein'

FRANKEINSTEN CRITIQUE .
The book Frankenstein, tells a tale of the scientist that finds out the secrets of life creation in his laboratory. It is essentially a story of two cursed individuals; the monster and the creator and their naturally intertwining fates . The book is Mary Shelley’s strike of complete genius as well as a renowned masterpiece. The superficial idea of man as God is extensively taboo and quite a provocative theme. Further, the author delivers a splendid tale of murder, deceit, and the relentless pursuit that is set up against the backdrop of painted seasons.
Frankenstein is written as a long series of narratives that uses the first person voice.It is introduced as a series of letters that are sent by an explorer to the sister and subsequently gives a recount of Frankenstein’s story .The language is highly representative of the English language that was used widely during the nineteenth century . However, it still remains easy and simple to understand mainly because the prose is free flowing .The author builds up the plot masterfully and goes ahead to ensure that the two primary characters are well sketched .

This is mainly because of the pursuit of knowledge that is at the centre of the book. This theme brings out Victor’s brave attitude as he tries to surge beyond the self imposed human limits and gain access to the secret of life .Similarly, Walton also tries to surpass the human explorations that had been done previously by setting out to reach the North Pole . These two demonstrations of the pursuit of knowledge captivates the reader. This is especially when the pursuit seems dangerous and the act of creation carried out by Victor results in the destruction of everyone that he holds dear . Walton also finds himself trapped in between sheets of ice. Such events and the lessons that we can learn from each one of them are indeed entertaining
