Frankenstein the novel, Amateur Work or Classic and Timeless Fiction: An Evaluation of the Writing of Frankenstein Frankenstein is a novel that gives readers an opportunity to imagine a world very different and unique from their current one. One where man can in fact create a creature who exhibits human like qualities such as loneliness, kindness, intelligence and anger even if it looks like a monster.

Is Frankenstein a man, whose ambition led to a disaster; or a monster, which created a life with disregard for the human race? Frankenstein, in my opinion, was the monster not the life that he had created. Frankenstein never admitted to his family what he had done, never admitted responsibility for his actions.

Over the years, horror movies have taken to using the novel to comment on the fallacies in scientific study and the tempering of nature’s ways. However, it would be erroneous to exclude the feminist narrative, as Shelley’s mother wrote one of the leading modern feminist texts, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. This
presentations, the final presenter, a middle-age auto mechanic with oily stained hands and a battered countenance, exclaimed most eloquently, “Literature is an alive and breathing thing. It gives life to the past and the present. It makes me know, feel, and love. Without literature, I would be nothing.” Juxtaposed appearance versus thought shows the power and impact of literature.
