The sad story of Frankestain is a story that involves a mixture of feelings such as curiosity, acceptance, love, anger, anxiety and revenge. That is what called my attention, because the author put an amount of different feelings in two characters.
When I read the book, I noticed that Victor was moved by his curiosity and anxiety. Those sensations made him experiment with something that men can not have control on, it is to give life to something dead which is totally against the natural process.What is shown here, it is men’s desire of controling nature, and also how our anxiety and curiosity sometimes make us do the wrong thing. In the case of Victor, his excesive anxiety to create life, caused the death of his family. Another point that was interesting for me, it is how Frankestain who is supposed to be a monster, has a strong need of spreading love and receiving it back. Unfortunately he was rejected by people because of his apparience and although he has so much love to give, the only way he found to response to that rejection, it was through killing.
I liked the story very much, and I got really interested in reading it because as I mentined in the introduction, the amount of feelings in it called my attention. But it is a pity that Frankestain did not have the opportunity to have someone who loved him as he could love so that he could stop acting by revenge against people’s rejection.

I think, as you said, that rejection evokes negative feelings on every living being, even more we can take the example of the kids that killed people in schools in the USA don't you think?
It is like Tomas Moro mentioned in one of his books, society first creates thieves and then it punishes them...but only in this case are murders and monsters...what do you think?
Take care,
