Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Shelley
5.0
Sometimes you pick up some sort of important classic and think, "really?" Other times, you pick up Frankenstein.
How dare people turn this into a silly character or plot! I'm going to go back and hate watch anything that treated this as anything less than profound!
Quotes:
"Nothing is more painful to the human mind than, after the feelings have been worked up by a quick succession of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows and deprives the soul of both hope and fear."
"Justine died; she rested; and I was alive. The blood flowed freely in my veins, but a weight of despair and remorse pressed on my heart, which nothing could remove."
"There was always scope for fear so long as anything I loved remained behind."
