Most people when asked about Frankenstein, concieve a completley different outlook on what Frankenstein is actually about. Most peoples first thought about Frankenstein is a big green monster, but that is not the case.
Chapter 1 starts out as somewhat of a mystery. There is a stranger and you soon find out that it is Victor Frankenstein. He starts to tell us of hi childhood and about his mother and father. When Elizabeth becomes apart of Victors family, they fall in love. I enjoy this kind of love story because it is abstract and different than the usual love stories.
In chapter 2 Henry Clerval comes into the novel. he has been a childhood friend of victors and Victor Elizabeth and Henry became veryclose. Victor stumbles upon a book and becomes facinated on Philosophy. Victor discovers the power of nature when lightning strikes a tree near his house. This happening paves the way to his next experiments. The way that Shelley incorporates this aspect of nature, with the forming of the creature is very important for the novel.
Shelley does a very good job of foreshadowing throughout the novel. Things like the lightning bolt hitting the tree, and him learning about different kind of sciences makes the reader think about future events that will happen in the novel. Before I had read this novel, and after reading this novel, Who I thought Frankstein was is a complete blur. This novel opens the readers eyes to the misconceptions of who and what Frankenstein is.
