human nature will remain timeless and universal as they examine and critically inquire into the follies of greed‚ ambition and moral corruption. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein illustrates the innate and insatiable appetite for knowledge and the according descent to blindness and self-loathing.

Good v. Evil: Which is Which By: Logan Emlet Frankenstein is a literally fantastic novel‚ in which a gentle creation‚ the Monster‚ is shunned by his creator‚ Victor Frankenstein‚ as well as all other humans.
