People do and not only made men. We are what we create. Dr. Frankenstein did a monstrous thing and he paid for it. Unfortunately, others who had done no wrong paid for his misdeeds, also. What made him think he could make a creature from broken parts, loveless and abandoned and just get on with his own happy life⁉️ That a creature he made from the dead, who had no equal, no companion, no society and naturally rejected as horrible should adore him. Paradise lost!

First of all I got to say I love you Cori Samuels. I have read and listened to this book so many times I could nearly quote it. I definitely prefer this, the 1818 version, over the latter version which had defiled fingers alter the text. One of my favorite scenes Is the trial and death of Justine. In particular, the dialogue of Elizabeth while she visits Justine in prison.

Written by Mary shelley, woman who outshined her established husband who was also a writer! Mary shelley born from Mary Wollstonecraft, one of if not the first radical woman writer in history. It is male dominated because men are interested in the material. Women have chosen to be interested in other things. And that’s fine. Keep on reading and you’ll see how much women have done and created. So much that the world ignores and chooses not to focus on. And then point at men and criticize them.

I've also written a story about a monster, in this case a strange, primeval, fire-breathing creature that lurks in a Scottish Loch, entitled THE CREATURE FROM THE DEEP, that is part of my story collection, SEVEN TALL TALES; available at Amazon as a book or a kindle. And, like Frankenstein, it may well be that humans had had a hand in the creation of that creature. It is a more humorous and comic story than Frankenstein, and on a more modest scale, and involves the investigation on the part of two rather seedy private eyes, into the truth about the Creature. Indeed the two detectives, seeing the dynamic effect that news and publicity about that marine monster has had on the local tourist trade, suspect that the creature is not quite what it appears to be, and that there could be more to it than meets the eye. You might find it amusing. Happy listening, and reading
