Frankenstein Project Reflection

For our project, Zack and I made a short movie, depicting an interview done with both the monster and Frankenstein. We came up with this idea by first thinking about our theme, both isolation and one’s upbringing significantly determined their actions later on in life.

The only way that one can compromise on an issue is if they first communicate their differences in opinion. Communication is also important when setting up a time to work.

This project definitely deepened my understanding of Frankenstein. I had to thoroughly look through the book in order to find the textual evidence. Also, in order to complete this project, I had to view the book through a different lense. I had to analyze it, rather than just read the
