I did enjoy the book when I read it in university, though. One thing that stuck in my mind was how Frankenstein was unaware that all of the theories he had been learning in his self-studies (not sure if that's a word, but you know what I mean) had been exploded. Yet even after the prof at the university set him straight, he still continued in the same vein--and it worked anyway! It was kind of like, "Science isn't so much concerned with what is right as with what is safe."<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I suppose that's a relatively minor point in light of the other themes of the book. And it's possible that my memory is a bit murky, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
