Hey, just wanted to see if this would count for any extra credit before the end of the semester. First, I want to say how much I actually enjoyed this book. Despite the over dramatic feelings that Shelley expresses in the book that sometimes gets annoying, it was interesting and enlightening. Frankenstein essentially embodies the feelings of man in the Romantic era as people are accomplishing such scientific feats that they thought only God could do. Shelley over dramatizes this notion of man trying to be God as Frankenstein attempts the thing that only God can do-create life. This manipulation of God's own powers is shown evident in the disfigured and disgusting form of the monster as it shouldn't be part of this world at all. Because of this, Frankenstein becomes eternally haunted by the monster because he tried to mimic an act only God alone can perform. Therefore, Shelley warns people of her time to not become so deeply enthralled by the science and go too far into discovery as it may destroy you in the end.
