To celebrate this halloween i've read Frankenstein! Finally! The tale of horror of who's the monster? Creation or creator. Also the duality of humanity of it being of welcoming kindness and warmth to the alternative hatred and fear, also driving creatures of difference into enemies.
I noticed an interesting thing with his mention of Adam (& Eve) and the parallels of creator making a man then a woman companion. Instead of a creator providing, frankenstein destroys her mid-making thinking about the horrors of two monsters, what if she doesn't like him and there is fighting, and if they should have children. The two ideas are something to consider...the making of children seems like something he could fix while making her...so no too much thought to that one. Rip.
A book mentioned also is Paradise Lost, which i haven't read yet, but i'm sure that also has something to say about the larger text and events.
