Frankenstein, an iconic novel written by a young woman at the age of 19, details the creation of a monster and the downfall of an evil genius. I am excited to begin this novel, knowing of it ever since I was young with the fear of monsters myself. It's shocking to me that a girl only a few years older than I am wrote and published a book that's now known to the world.
When I think of Frankenstein, I picture the tall green man with daunting features, raven black hair and two metal screws poking out of his head suddenly opening his gray eyes and commencing to breathe. The problem is, apparently 'Frankenstein' is the scientist, not the monster. Frankenstein creates this living, breathing monster from.. Various other parts... To create something unnatural. No, I don't believe that man should be able to create life. It messes with the balance of the world and who knows what we're actually dealing with when we come to power like that. In a serious case, you could create a super-monster engineered to kill, immortality and all... Once created, how do you destroy something like that?
I believe that monsters can be found inside of all of us. Whether it's in our thoughts, the words that come from our mouths, maybe some sinister plot to sabotage your brother or sister- You could even be the next Hitler. Everyone has this dark side, but most of us can be better and
choose to better ourselves with good deeds and good thoughts the overpower the bad.
