Frankenstein

[Akita Suggagaki]

I watched Guillermo del Toro’s production and appreciated it. But I knew it took liberties. I read Mary Shelley’s novel a few years ago. So I am reading it again slowly. It begins with the letters from the ship captain to his sister. He is out to find the North Pole.

His one lament is that he does not have a friend to share his quest. He struggles with loneliness. The movie portrays him as a gruff old seaman.

I welcome others who would like to share their thoughts about the movie and/or novel.
