  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

Very sad book. Victor Frankenstein is a terrible person and I love him for that. Getting
married when you KNEW the creature you made threatened you on your wedding night after you stopped making HIS bride when he begged you to relieve his loneliness? Dude... Right to blame yourself for those deaths.
Ditching your living creation moments after he was "born" and blaming him for all evil in your life is just cold. 
3.74 because, as brilliant as Mary Shelley is, the writing is so unnecessarily flowery that she managed to drag out TRAVELLING 😂 Girl please
