Kylie Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi Jaden, The text of Frankenstein is freely available at sites such as Gutenberg. You can download the text from there and find the answers yourself. You won't get any direct answers to your questions here, as it's against the forum's rules to answer homework questions. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 That helps a lot, I just downloaded it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanwa Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi Jaden. Just thought I'd say that you'll find your lessons far more enjoyable if you've read the text. I know that school can be pretty boring sometimes, and lessons somewhat tedious. But not only might you enjoy the lessons more if you read the books, you might actually enjoy the books as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbid Hermit Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 An additional point about Frankenstein - there are two versions available, one is the original 1818 text, and one is the slightly revised one from 1831... So bear that in mind when researching it for your homework, in case there are any subtle differences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWords Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I made an argument that Victor Frankenstein was the true monster in the book here if you are interested. It may not be a position which all readers will take away, but for me it came quite clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Agreed 100%, BigWords. I've always believed the same (which is why Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's [!!!] Frankenstein, with its unsympathetic, inhuman, illitterate Monster didn't sit down well with me... my Creature reads Paradise Lost), and passionately argued the case in one of my most spirited BA essays .
