Monster!!!

If you were to ask anyone who has not read the oringinal verion of Frankenstien, they would 1. say Frankenstien is the monster not the doctor and B. Say that Frankenstien is an angry terrifying monster! However, us wise scholars who have indulged in the REAL story have discovered that the "monster" may very well be gentel in nature. Frankenstien is not an mad scientist in the ways that movies deplict him. However he is obsessive with his work. There is no flash of lightening and rejoicing from Frankenstien. In fact Frankenstien is immediately disgusted by his creation. It is odd how media and Hollywood always distorts the true story to please the audience. However they miss out on all the themes of the story and the lessons it teaches of human nature. On another note, I think its really sad that Frankenstien instanly rejects his creation. I automatically thought of a small child looking to its parents and being turned away because they are ugly or the parent decied they were a bad idea after all. poor creature thing :(
