"if Shelley is warning us against playing God, it's not because she thinks we can't create something wonderful. It's that she doesn't trust us to know what to do with it."https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"...We also hear the poignant voice of the monster as he describes the spurning and the physical attacks he has endured because of his ugliness; his desolate pain and loneliness; how he learns to love; how he finally finds and tries, unsuccessfully, to make peace with his maker; how he learns to hate. A story within a story, Frankenstein is a subtle and ironic prophecy that raises the question of who is the real monster in this story."
(J.L., p. 181)
