*CAUTION* MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS: I'll give props to Mary Shelley on writing such a story. Coming from a short story contest amongst men, considering that era, it is quite good. When it comes to my personal opinion though, I thought it was somewhat bland. The overall story was interesting, however there has been a debate as to wether or not we should have compassion on Victor or The Monster. I find it hard to empathize for either of them though, due to the fact that Victor can be neglectful and The Monster kills someone. It's obvious that both of them long for a supportive father figure, however I can't quite see how Victor could provide that for The Monster, when he himself doesn't have one. Overall, I think Mary Shelley did a good job and I could see how people could appreciate and enjoy the story. However, it does not suite my personal taste.
