Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is an interesting gothic horror novel. It’s a recount of events that occurred to Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist that pays the consequences of playing god. The novel is great for many reasons, but my main reason is that it doesn’t truly have a villain. Although the monster did kill people, Victor and society isolated him to the point that his frustrations made him kill. You pity the monster rather than demonizing him. As for Victor, you can’t see him as a villain either. He did play god, but he paid the price when he lost everyone that he loved afterwards. You can feel his suffering and understand the reasons for his behaviour. It’s a classic novel and it’s a great read. If you know of the film, then you need to read this novel. - @reviewsfromthe9 of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
