Frankenstein

Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is classic story of the creator and his creation. To me this is a story of a father and a son. Frankenstein created a monster and is scared of it and all this monster wants is to be accepted by the world. Frankenstein is more along the lines of a bad father mainly because he is ashamed of his "son" and refuses to take responsibility and teach him. The wretch as they call frankensteins monster is similar to a teen. All I want is to be accepted, no one likes me the list goes on. The story of frankenstein is that of a relationship gone completely wrong between creator and creation. This may be the birth of science fiction but it was not that interesting to me there was to much emotion and drama not enough monster terrorizing people. The story was a dramatic one with the lose of family members and frankenstein becoming ill, as well as his creation on the loos but it lacked what i thought frankensteins monster would be, a crazy monster. Frankenstein was good but my expectations were higher.
