Yes, Frankenstein, actually the monster never had a name, was actually quite
human in his heart and feelings, and when he was rebuked, attacked, and
beaten, that was when he finally destroyed. It was indeed an accident, he
did love her, and actually it was her brothers who became angry towards him.
Not her, she wasn't to sure.
Another aspect that I thought of was how the monster tried to destroy his
creator, Victor, and how revenge in the end, he destroyed himself, as he had
killed his creator and he thought that was the worst possible thing. The
whole moral, that revenge is sweet, may be satisfying, but... in the end
will destroy you just as swiftly as you destroyed the people you had revenge
against.
It was an absolutely great story.
I highly recommend it, as my teacher at the time Ms. Mick, it was well a
book that definitely made you think.

It didn't change my life,but I do agree with you about
Frankenstein. I haven't read the book, but the
original movie--or maybe it was a first
remake--conveyed that quite well, I thought--that
Frankenstein was the way he was because of the
treatment he got. And am I wrong, or were his
intentions toward the lady fair misunderstood? Wasn't
he in love with her--didn't want to hurt her?
Beauty and the Beast--the original Cocteau movie--had
the same lesson, i.e., that you shouldn't judge people
by appearances. That's a beautiful, moving movie which
I highly recommend if anyone can get it or if it come
onto tv. I don't think it has to be seen--the
tenderness and kindness is in the beast's voice, as I
reacall--and he wasn't such a terrible-looking beast
either.
