    Thankful to Have Reread This
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023*

Reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as an adult has opened my eyes to layers of meaning that I missed during my first encounter with the book as a student. The complexities and nuances of the narrative, which I couldn't grasp back then, are now evident. It's remarkable to think that Shelley, though just a teenager at the time of writing, had such profound insights, undoubtedly shaped by her extensive travels and companions.The language and imagery Shelley uses are evocative and thought-provoking. For instance, the monster's acknowledgment of Frankenstein as its author leads to profound reflections on the unintended consequences of our actions. It raises questions about the impacts of our decisions on the lives of others, including our offspring. Frankenstein's character, often playing a passive role and shirking responsibility, highlights the detrimental effects of inaction. His reluctance to address the issues he created only magnifies them, a stark contrast to what might have been had he taken a proactive approach.Furthermore, the novel illustrates the dangers of solitary pursuits in research and innovation. The absence of collaborative scrutiny, akin to the Socratic method, results in unchecked decisions with catastrophic outcomes. This aspect of the story draws a parallel to Tupac's song where Brenda abandons her baby in a dumpster, underscoring the societal responsibility towards its own creations. Shelley emphasizes that every creation, born out of love, deserves respect and kindness, regardless of its perceived flaws or disabilities. This timeless tale, then, is not just a gothic narrative but a profound commentary on the ethical responsibilities that accompany creation and innovation.

It is very interesting and funny. It may seem boring at first but the more you read, the more intriguing it gets would recommend.

    Longman Editions Rock
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2013*

I was first introduced to Longman Cultural editions in college, and now, as a postgrad, I can only read classics in good conscious, if I am reading a Longman. The content is so rich and depending on your energy-level, provides a "manageable" or "extensive" context to frame the work. How can one really "read" a piece of the canon, without knowledge of the historical and cultural climate of the author's environment? Oh right! He or she really can't.  What I really like about these editions is that very little previous knowledge is assumed; instead, you are guided by a Virgil, in this case, Susan Wolfson, through a story that, at first, might seem too dense or too dated to be interesting: ie. "hell." But, Frankenstein with a Longman guide is far from a trip through the underworld--although the creature's descriptions of loneliness would make for a fitting version of hell on earth. Overall, I found this to be my favorite version of Frankenstein by a mile. It was my third time through the book (two previous reads, both with Norton editions). The added bonus of footnotes that are interesting rather than irritating, along with essays that cast a light on the creation and time of the writing, made the story come to life with the brilliance of a bolt of lightening. 5 stars!
