Because I knew more
about Frankenstein during the symposium
I spoke more about Shelly’s work than Pelicans Shakespeare Othello. In my research, I discovered that Mary Shelley,
author of Frankenstein, was intended to represent the monster as her self; for,
Mary had a terrible your childhood. Also, due to her very unattractive physical
appearance men would not care to marry her. She was devastated by the fact that
her prospects of marrying where slim because of her appearance. Yet, from Frankenstein, I interpreted her book as
her attempt to make society less judgmental of physical appearance, by giving
the monster, made by Frankenstein, a large intelligence capable of performing tasks
that the ordinary person could not have done. Sadly, everyone who saw him tried
to either run away from him or kill him. Yet, the monster wanted to talk to
some one and to be able to express his feelings. I explained both of these
ideas to our group, and they thought it made sense. They believed this book was indeed a horror
and in part romance genre of book. Both Frankenstein
and Othello deserve to be in
the cannon for both books involve using morals and in depth material that can be
picked up right away. Frankenstein cause me to change my ideas about being
judgmental and being prejudiced towards people I know not. Lastly, while we
were finishing our symposium, we noticed that our books all had some kind of a love
based theme. Plus we noticed that all these books were all published around the
same time period. This could have been the reason why these used the same kind
of genre.
