Victor and all other people despise and reject him because of his horrible appearance. The monster, angry and frustrated, starts to kills the people who are related to his creator. The monster wants Victor to make him a female companion but Victor refuses and due to that, the monster kills Victor’s wife. He then escapes and Victor starts to look for him. The reach to the North Pole where Victor meets Robert Walton. He tells the story to Walton and asks him if he could kill the monster for him. Victor dies and soon Walton manages to talk to the monster. The story ends with the monster sailing away on an ice shelf .
I really enjoyed reading this book because I adore horror movies and ghost books. It was deep , touching, sad and exciting . I believe that Mary Shelley tried to show that we should not judge people by their appearance and that we should look in the person ’s character deeper. The society should be more tolerant and kind. Luckily nowadays this is not such a big problem as it used to be. I liked the eloquent writing style and the authors ’ ability to put real emotions into the story. It made me feel empathic sometimes for Victor and sometimes for the monster. The book illustrates the good and evil qualities of its main characters and shows how weak and frightened people can be.
I do think that this story will remain popular because it has inspired many other books and movies and therefore it’s theme remains relevant.
Conclusion
In conclusion I would like to say that the book was interesting and gripping. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an insightful , well-written character study about human nature because it is a look into human nature and the mind. It made me think about the real values in life and it tought me to be more tolerant towards other people.

Tsehhov daam koeraga Chekov Lady and the Lapdog

Chekov Lady and the Lapdog Reid about Chekov: The characters in Chekhov's plays are never fully "known" ­ as a writer, he seems to delight in maintaining a sense of indeterminacy, and unknowability, about them. The bare facts are always laughably inadequate to the complexity of "real" people. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born on 29 January (New Style), 1860, in Taganrog, a small port on the Sea of Azov, in southern Russia. As the son of a grocer and grandson of a serf, Chekhov was a first-generation intellectual. His modest background and upbringing are crucial to his development as a writer. Chekhov always felt that he missed out on childhood. It was a very hard lifeand it may have contributed to his poor health: he succumbed later on to the"family disease", tuberculosis, which led to his early death at the age of 44.His mother was a quiet, gentle soul who was full of stories of her early life. In later years, Chekhov would say that "we inherited our talent from our father,but mother
