After watching all the movie adaptations (with Young Frankenstein being my favorite), I thought I had this story figured out. But the book itself explores so much more, especially the question: “How does love affect the human condition?” Many of you recommended I read this, and I finally did—perfect timing for Halloween.
The novel is incredible. What stands out is the dual nature of the monster, capable of both love and compassion while also harboring dark, vengeful tendencies. It’s a powerful metaphor for how many of us wrestle with our own inner demons, much like Frankenstein’s creation.
