Fantastic essay, Yahia.

I believe Frankenstein to be the greatest novel that I have ever come across. Wuthering Heights comes in second for me. Oddly they have some very similar themes. Frankenstein is written with incredible grace and beauty and contains many rich themes to explore. I always get something new out of it. One cannot read and not develop sympathy for the monster. In all but appearance, he is the greatest of humans. Although his birth was unnatural. I wrote a poem in honour of the monster that I was saving to October to release ... but I have always seen Frankenstein not as a cautionary tale against science playing god but against neglectful parenting and unkind assumptions. Imagine what the mind of Monster could have produced if he had been nurtured rather than spurned.
