Was he a monster or just a creature who wanted to be loved? The famous novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley may indicate both. We just never know what went through her mind when she wrote the story. There are valuable lessons we can learn from the story and apply to today's time.
The Monster is referred to by words such as "wretch", "monster", "creature", "demon", "devil", "fiend", and "it". We most definitely do this in real life when somebody does not look a certain way and we even do this in Second Life. Here in Second Life, we fix our avatar to perfection and without flaws, because there may be judgments by others.
The story has been analyzed by many and remember it was written by a teenager, who would have wanted to be accepted in the world like everyone else. If you never read the book, why not pick it up and immerse yourself in it. Reality has been altered by how we look and how we define beauty. Don't fall for those fake miracles that will only change the appearance for a little while. Eventually, you will have to tighten those wrinkles more and lift up those breasts higher.
What becomes of it? A Monster, just like Frankenstein who says: “There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied in the one, I will indulge the other.”
“When falsehood can look so like the truth, who can assure themselves of certain happiness?”
Happy Reading!!!!
