okay!!!!!!! tbh I didn't really enjoy the process of reading this, in fact I felt that it was quite boring but despite that I thought it was good. I am just in aw that mary shelley was younger than me when she wrote this😳😳 what😳😳 this is truly remarkable especially for the fact that it basically originated science fiction and I think that it's extremely fitting! while it's light on the science part,it really deconstructs humanity very well!! this is marked as a horror novel, I didn't find it that scary but standards were lower back then ig lol but honestly I found this heartbreakingly sad. it's really lovely to see human interaction from the perspective of someone that ig is like "non-human". it really shows how people don't become terrible, they just react to their environment and i feel like I don't see people talk about how upsetting this is😭😭😭 once again though, while I was impressed, (I can see why it is so widely studied!!!) I did not really enjoy the process of reading this, will not be rereading ever I don't think but glad I did read it.
