Ok so in an effort to begin writing many many blogs in a short amount of time, I will proceed to comment on various literature books which I have studied over the years.

Frankenstein
Frankenstein is written by Mary Shelley. She lived at the same time as Lord Byron and Keates and all. (there's a song called 'these words' by natasha bettingfield, who is daniel bettingfield's sister, that mentions their names. kind of cool. Daniel Bettingfield is from Australia and a few years ago, he had a crush on this girl and recorded himself singing and like altered it digitally and all and his friends were like omg thats an awesome song so he like released it to aus radio and it became a huge hit and then it the US and they still play it today. And Natasha who is his sister is now big. These words was her first release, and she has also released in "unwritten' which is featured in both 'ice princess' and 'the sisterhood of the travelling pants', both of which are good movies, sisterhood being far better than princess, but both are good lil chick flicks that aren't annoyingly dramatic and stupid.) back to Frankenstien. It's interesting that most ppl refer to the monster that he created as 'frankenstein' but in reality, frankenstein was the inventor's name, and the creation is really 'frankenstein's monster.' There is an interesting version of frankenstein's monster in van helsing, featuring kate beckinsale and ohh what is his name...he's in x-men too...hugh jackman. He' s a good actor. Um...so yeah, Frankenstein decides to create a monster and like steals corpses and body parts or something from some place and figures out the way to create life, which is never disclosed in the book, so he creates the monster, it's really ugly and it comes to life.

The monster runs away and terrorizes people without meaning to and goes and live's in a cave. There are people who live next door to him, and he likes to watch them. They don't know he's there. He can't understand them at all at first. He brings them wood in the night and stuff like that because they're poor. He eventually learns English through observing them, if i'm remembering correctly, and one day, he shows them who he is and they are really scared of him because he's huge and ugly so he's crushed that his friends, the only people who knows in the whole world hate him. So he goes away. He goes and finds Frankenstein and tells him to make a girl version of him so that he can go away somwhere and be happy. Frankenstein does, but he never brings her to life, so Frankenstein gets married and the monster comes and kills his wife, which is really horrible, and then eventually kills Frankenstien, and then the end is kind of confusing, because it like switches perspectives a bunch. But ummm yeah. it was good through the whole thing until the end.

It's interesting because it personifies the ideal of knowledge corrupting. Knowledge is supposedly the opposite of innocence, and so the monster is like, perfect (like in mind and spirit) when he is first created, and then as he gains more and more knowledge, he becomes corrupted, and then he gets to the point of killing people and destroying life and all, and destroying his maker and all. So that's an intersting argument for that perspective. It also kind of shows that like, people aren't perfect, so nothing they create can ever be perfect, and that it's good for people not to be able to create life because if they could, then the world be a really screwed up place full of monsters and people being killed and all that kind of stuff. so yeah. that's Frankenstein.
