	Review of Frankenstein
		Frankenstein is a complex and fascinating man, a scholarly prodigy, and noteworthy to his biology professors even though he has grown up reading alchemy textbooks.
		Frankenstein is quite glib, and doesn't learn from his own philosophizing, another of the book's ironies; at one point, he says: "A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind, and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquillity.
		In the book, this separation of the man and his creation was never fully explained, and in the movie, Frankenstein is overcome by a burst of revulsion and by the force of events.

	Frankenstein \| Classic Book Reviews \| SCI FI Weekly
		Frankenstein tried in vain to protect his family and friends, and now was bound to the ends of the earth to kill, or be killed by, his own loathsome creation.
		It is easy to feel Frankenstein's terror at the threat to his family and friends from the vengeful monster; yet the creature's own pain at rejection is equally powerful and moving.
		It may be impossible for the modern reader to read about Frankenstein's monster without at first visualizing the creature brought to life by director James Whale and actor Boris Karloff in the 1931 film version, which roams very far afield from its inspiration.

	Frankenstein Book Notes Summary by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley: Letters
		Walton is curious about Frankenstein and believes that if the men had met before Frankenstein was broken down, they would have been great friends, the kind of friend Walton longs for in his earlier letter.
		In agreement, Frankenstein says, "'we are unfashioned creatures, but half made up, if one wiser, better, dearer than ourselves -- such a friend ought to be -- do not lend his aid to perfectionate our weak and faulty natures.'" Letter 4, pg.
		Their conversation ends, but Walton finds Frankenstein to be an incredible person because despite his obvious loss and sadness, Frankenstein still seems to appreciate the natural beauty of the world around him.

	Penguin Reading Guides \| Frankenstein \| Mary Shelley
		We are predisposed to identify with Frankenstein, whose character is admired by his virtuous friends and family and even by the ship captain who rescues him, deranged by his quest for vengeance, from the ice floe.
		When Frankenstein first becomes engrossed in his efforts to create life, collecting materials from the dissecting room and slaughterhouse, he breaks his ties with friends and family, becoming increasingly isolated.
		Frankenstein is both a criticism of humanity, especially of the human notions of technical progress, science, and enlightenment, and a deeply humanistic work full of sympathy for the human condition.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Discuss the Early Chapters - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - B&N Book Clubs
		When Frankenstein tells the story, and it is reported in letters to Walton's sister, along with what Walton and the crew saw, it is more believalbe than if Frankenstein had simply told the story.
		This is echoed during the story when Frankenstein sees the creature on his way home after William's murder and he knows who killed William (and knows it is not Justine) but he would never be able to tell anyone because, without someone seeing the creature, they would surely believe he was imagining it.
		Victor's failures are totally symbolic of the failings of society: to fear that which is different or not the socially accepted "norm"; to lack compassion; to avoid instead of help; to run from responsibility instead of accepting it; to ignore instead of face; to refuse to believe that actions have consequences that cannot be avoided.

		At that age I became acquainted with the celebrated poets of our own country; but it was only when it had ceased to be in my power to derive its most important benefits from such a conviction that I perceived the necessity of becoming acquainted with more languages than that of my native country.
		She nursed Madame Frankenstein, my aunt, in her last illness, with the greatest affection and care and afterwards attended her own mother during a tedious illness, in a manner that excited the admiration of all who knew her, after which she again lived in my uncle's house, where she was beloved by all the family.

		The drowning of Frankenstein's nephew William in the book is transformed into the drowning of Maria in the movie, a little girl unrelated to him.
		Elizabeth's murder in the book (again intentional) is transformed into a mere scaring of Elizabeth in the movie; she survives.
		In the movie Frankenstein dies by fire, as opposed to ice, and Dr. Frankenstein is allowed to continue living his life with his wife, the happily every after Hollywood ending.

	Frankenstein: a new reality! > The Book
		That is the reason for the common mistake of thinking that the name Frankenstein is referred to the monster, and surely that is why the monster has not been given a name of his own, it seems that the nameless monster has taken the name of his creator.
		Victor Frankenstein's creature, the monster, can be considered his alter ego, the second self, the product of his meddling with nature and of the insane attempt to penetrate it in order to find out all the secrets of the universe.
		Frankenstein's creature, the monster, is the expression of social injustice and refers to Rousseau's conception of man as originally good.

	Amazon.com: Frankenstein (Signet Classics): Books: Mary Shelley,Walter James Miller,Harold Bloom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation.
		Frankenstein reminisces about his happy childhood, particularly the close relationship between himself and his "cousin" Elizabeth, and then explains how his interest in discredited natural philosophy led him to create a living man of his own design.
		Although the creature does nothing more than grunt in the movies, the original Frankenstein was possessed of great eloquence and intelligence, and he tells a moving story about his attempts to make a connection with a society that is revolted at the sight of him.

	Amazon.co.uk: Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus (Penguin Popular Classics): Books: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This popular image, however, does not explain Frankenstein's utopian desire to conquer death nor does it relate to the misery felt by Frankenstein's nameless creation, who is immediately abandoned by his creator, abhorred and attacked by people and forced to hide in perpetual isolation.
		The book is over written in my opinion, the language is flowery and over the top for all the charcters throughout, and it just isn't nessacary, it acts to remove all potential aspects of horror, and make the book more laughable.
		Frankenstein is the scion of the evil principle in man, the invention of a man-scientist and a painted bird, who is not accepted by the rest of the human race.

	An analysis of the construction of gender in Frankenstein. free essay, term paper and book report
		Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, exhibits a strong construction of gender, although it is not always immediately obvious.
		In the time Frankenstein was written, the dominant view of women was as inferior beings at their best when submissively caring for children or doing housework.
		In writing Frankenstein, Mary Shelley has reinforced the dominant societal views of gender, as it was seen in her time, predominantly through the use of character.

	THE APESHEET: FRANKENSTEIN REVIEWED
		Frankenstein is not the story of a crazed scientist who creates a big, stitched-together, bolts-in-the-neck, hulking monster who is terrorized by torch-bearing villagers.
		Victor Frankenstein, a promising university student from an upper- class family, becomes obsessed with "the cause of generation and life." His insatiable thirst for knowledge drives him to toil tirelessly until he discovers the cause of life and becomes determined to animate lifeless matter, thereby creating the big green guy from the movies.
		Shelley, who wrote the book when she was 18, supposedly drew a lot of inspiration from Milton's Paradise Lost and Ovid's Metamorphoses.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Discuss the Later Chapters - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - B&N Book Clubs
		By opening and closing the story of Frankenstein and his creature with a third narrator, Captain Robert Walton, Shelley creates an access for readers that live “among the tamer scenes of nature”, who are “unacquainted with” its “ever-varied powers”.
		He was going to destroy Frankenstein and himself in the process and the ice and desolation of the North Pole was his aid because the land would eventually kill them both anyway.

	Frankenstein - Book Review - by Dean R. Koontz
		Victor Frankenstein, yes, that Victor Frankenstein, is alive and well in New Orleans, where he is creating an entire race of "new men." Koontz's latest is a respectful follow-up to the original story and is performed beautifully.
		Lloyd is equally effective as Frankenstein's original creation, "the monster" brought to life by lightning and arcane science.
		Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, volume one of which, Prodigal Son (2005), was a pulse-pounder all the way, is going to be a trilogy.

	Book review: Frankenstein Unbound
		Unlike most of Aldiss' books that I've read, I actually liked this one.
		While Bodenland, the protagonist, does destroy the monster in the end, the reason behind all this -- the timeslips, the fictional characters made real -- is never made clear.
		In the end the book comes off as an interesting conceit mingling history and fiction, but little more than that.
