Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a classic tale of a man-made monster seeking acceptance from society in light of his ghastly appearance and strange upbringing. Victor Frankenstein is an amateur scientist who creates a «perfect» human from spare body parts — only to have his plan backfire when the monster turns out to be extremely hideous and unappealing. The monster navigates the social scene for human friendship and is turned down again and again. So he decides to take revenge on the person who created him. First the monster kills his brother. Frankenstein is ravaged by his grief and guilt for creating the monster who has wreaked so much destruction, so he goes to the mountains alone to find peace. But instead of peace, Frankenstein finds horror when he is approached by the monster who then demands that he create a female monster to be his companion. Frankenstein, fearing for his family, agrees and goes to England to do his work. When he is almost finished, he changes his mind, and destroys the project. The monster then kills his friend and later his new wife Elizabeth. Victor realises that his life’s goal from that point forward is to hunt down the monster and kill him. Victor chases after him throughout Europe and the North Pole, but then temporarily loses track of the monster when he disappears into a crack in the ice. At this time he meets Robert Walton and his crew. The story ends with Victor’s death and the monster crying for forgiveness. After a short contemplation by Robert Walton, who promised to kill him if offered the chance, the monster convinces him otherwise and disappears back to the North Pole never to be seen again. 1 Did you like the story?

Ответ

1. I liked the story because it is exciting, dramatic, and makes you think about responsibility and human nature.
2. I felt sad and shocked after finishing the story, because it has a tragic ending.
3. No, it does not sound as unreal today as it did when it was written. Modern science and technology make the idea of creating life seem less impossible, but the moral problems are still very serious.
4. Yes, I know some similar stories, for example Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and some modern science fiction films about artificial life and robots.
