Frankenstein

While I enjoy science fiction literature, I was a bit frustrated with only reading excerpts from Frankenstein. We jump from the preface to to the last chapter and I am not quite sure what to do with what I am reading. Neither passage is weighted down, they just float away with nothing to connect them. That said, it does offer an interesting contrast in characters. In the preface, the character relishes the contact of a familiar, or similar individual, while in the last chapter, we get a depiction of a creature so destitute and full of sorrow. Both are looking for something it seems, perhaps looking for someone like them to share their lives with, to be friends with.
