Frankenstein - Mary Shelley (16-77)

     Victor Frankenstein begins to spill his life into the lap of Walton. He starts with his times in Geneva, the hometown of his family. His adopted sister, Elizabeth, was adopted with the intention of a set up wife for Victor. Frankenstein comes across his friend Henry Clerval and decides to go to school with him. This is where Victor Frankenstein learns the knowledge necessary to artificially create life. After a couple years of study and a few years of complete loneliness from the loss of his mother. He wished he could some day bring his mother back from the grave. He test with a body he acquires. The body came to life and Victor was horridly discgusted by it and was not happy with the outcome of his creature at all. He, in a torrent, stormed out of the lab. He came back hours later to find the creature missing. He was terrified and spent the night in the security of the court yard. A week later, Victor learns of a death that he feels guilty about because he thinks it could of been the monster.

     I like this Frankenstein much better than the Hollywood Frankenstein.
