Reading Frankestein by Mary Shelley was a full of emotions experience. Every single page was a new demonstration of love, hate, discrimination, morality, acceptance, frustration, etc. Indeed, I believe that all these words are conected with the most importan one, senses.
Our body has several functions, but the most important one is the way we can percieve things. This process can be concluded through five and amazing ways, which are touching, seeing, tasting, smeeling and hearing. Now, relating this topic to Frankestein, there is a chapter where Franky met this blind man, who is not afraid of him because he can not see, he just listens to Franky. This situation causes a huge impact in Franky’s life because it is the first time he doesn’t feel rejected or discriminated by other. This situation made me reflect a lot about all those people who have scars or a stetical problem in their faces which make them look different from others. It is imposible to denay discrimination in those cases, plus if our society has narrow minded attitudes among them. How would it be if we wouldn’t have eyes? Probably, there wouldn’t be any differences, no color, no shape, no discrimination at all.
I really enjoyed reading the novel. It is incredible how M. Shelley could deal and includ difficult topics such as, loneliness, family, beliefs, marginalization, identity in one piece of writing . I felt that she played with us through them, through our senses. Moreover, the novel has a close relationship with nowadays society, eventhough it is an old master piece, we are living between lots of Victors and Frankestains.
