Frankenstein Essay

I enjoy writing stories and reading books. Frankenstein was a good book but it was one that didn’t catch my attention right away. Only certain parts did so when I had to write a paper on it I had to basically reread it and find out what I wanted to base my paper on. The paper was about archetypal literature and how things could mean something else. When I first started learning about this type of literature it was hard for me to understand and figure out what my teacher was actually asking. As I started the paper, I just started writing about random things that I thought fit together. During the first draft was when I actually figured out what archetypal literature really was. I was enthusiastic about learning to compare two things that no one would ever really see until they looked deeper. I’ve used this technique in my 103 class and was proud of the results. Not many people could see the strive for love and acceptance that Mary Shelly, who was the author, and Frankenstein’s monster wanted. Many readers just saw that the monster got made at Frankenstein and killed his wife. Frankenstein then went on the journey to find his monster and kill him. In the end, both creatures die. But in that time, the monster found peace as did Shelly. I enjoyed looking further into the book and finding other ideas and meanings behind the text on a page. I do it with movies and books every so often.
