Frankenstein #10

This book in its entirety intrigued me. The capturing way thy Mary Shelley went about writing Frankenstein was similar to that of no book I has read before. The continual story within a story was similar to only that of a movie that I haw seen which I mentioned earlier in my blogs. I almost liked the book version better because for the first time I was forced to create my own scenarios in my head with only the details given on page. This really helped me to get the characters to a place I have never been before with the depth as equal to that of Victor and he creature. Grasping the true emotion of how intricate the thoughts as feelings of each o these characters was not easy to accomplish. Shelley created the depth through her various story within story effects that brought us up to speed with the ideas and developments of their own ideas of both love and responsibility. Grasping that if a creature going from an infant to a full grown in the span of two years is difficult enough without the creature having a more extensive vocabulary than that of myself, now add in such intense actions ad though process and events start to get confusing. Both the blogging and the continual note taking guides helped me keep track of the series of sequences that were going on throughout the span of the book. Keeping them continually in light of the fact that Walton was recording them helped greatly. The finale that Walton records comes to an exciting conclusion when he writes, "He was soon borne away b the waves, and lost in darkness and distance,"(166). This ending draws us wondering what emotions will overtake the creature in his last moments of living while he is out there in finally ending his life as he should as for the actions that he took while living. Surely this ending for the creature would have been seen fit by his creator who died recently beforehand.
