Summary of a Critical Response

I chose to read the article that Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote. Throughout the article the writer pretty much gives their interpretation of "Frankenstein". I thought it was a great interpretation. It was nice to read someone else's point of view on the book. I enjoyed reading it because it seemed like the writer is very intelligent.  I believe it was written on November 10, 1832. Although it wasn't the longest article, the writer did a very good job  including a lot. It was extremely detailed and had educated words throughout the whole article. The author explains that "Frankenstein" includes very powerful emotions and explains that this book is a strange drama.
I do agree with the author about "Frankenstein" being a strange drama definitely. As I read through the book it was hard for me to interpret what it was saying. But reading this other article made it a whole lot clearer for me. I didn't feel like my article criticises "Frankenstein" at all but I definitely learned a bunch from reading the article. Although I enjoyed the article and it explained everything to me, I think it is too short of an article to use for Essay #3.

  1. Hi Amelia,
    I thought that this article was well written as well. Percy Shelley states,"This novel rests its claim on being a source of powerful and profound emotion". The story is based on the idea of how you treat people as well as how you are treated.
