Creating the monster... Again

Frankenstein is starting to get interesting, with some deaths in the beginning, and Victor feeling bad about his creation, I did not think that I would like it. When Victor found the monster, now that is when it got interesting. The monster's story was very exciting, and weird. It was very weird that he decided to press up against a hole in the wall, but it is understandable because of his state. After starting to learn the new language the monster became engaged in his "family". This is where it gt exciting. After revealing himself to the family he was forced away by them. Then he ran into the woods, and after some hardships found his way into a part of the forest where he found William Frankenstein. This was another weird part because after learning that William was a Frankenstein he strangled him. This is revealed from the earlier section of the book. This is when the creature then has a proposition to Frankenstein. This proposition is that Frankenstein is to create a wife for the creature. After saying yes to this proposition Frankenstein goes to start the body. He is first accompanied by Clerval to London. They split paths and Victor ends up on a small island where he is creating the monster. He then destroys the new creation when the monster is looking, and then long story short the monster kills Clerval. Mary Shelly has created a piece of literature that has twists around every corner. She uses numerous literary devices to create her themes which the readers then sees as an amazing story. When Victor destroyed the other monster I thought that the creature was going to dismantle him on the spot. Mary Shelly creates a bond with the reader and the creature, which makes the book greater in power.
