I read Mary Shelley's Frankenstien for an English class in the Fall of 2010. I found her to be an author who was ahead of her time. My thesis:
In the novel, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the protagonist, Victor, creates his own hell on earth by allowing his ego and desire to be innovative to overrule his moral conscience. I really enjoyed the novel. The fact the Shelley wrote this tale as a challenge makes it all the more interesting.
