Having spent half the term hearing the narrative from the perspective of Victor Frankenstein, we now hear the events from the creation’s viewpoint. This provides us with an excellent opportunity to explore different perspectives. We empathise with the creation, acknowledging that he was deprived of love; we understand that society’s closed mindset, lack of empathy and their intolerance and prejudice he experienced were the reasons for him to become a ‘monster.’ But his actions cannot be justified. To this end, we chose this book as it highlights our responsibilities towards building a better society that is rooted in love and understanding towards differences, whatever those differences may be.
