《FRANKENSTEIN》精选点评：
●Men can be so hypocritical when they claim all the sacrifices are for a greater good. I can understand F, but I'll never sympathize with him, because he's so damn heroically tragical. I hope he would suffer eternally. As to the "monster", why create such a horrible thing and at the same time give him a sensitive heart? Utmost cruelty.
●最初就不该逃避的 不该鲁莽行动 这么重要的禁忌的肯定要三思后行啊.. 然后感觉男主 总是轻易沉溺在悲伤里 除了eloquence还有开始在学校的风光之外完全感觉不到作为主角的魅力【扶额 daemon开始挺善良温柔的后来 可能是主角视角的问题就感觉变得evil了...想看看后面的monster视角！！ 语言挺漂亮的
●恐怖而浪漫，天马行空又极尽真实
●好、好啰嗦……我的耐心果然越来越经不起用了……
●有些厌恶似乎无从克服，哪怕他是你生就的
●读了一半，挠人。
●Astonished to be informed that mary was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, no wonder the fiction is a mixture of poems, chemical-physical fantasia and sensitive confession. The female perspective is throughout the tragedy of the creature, mary bestow the meaning of life for the monster who was made without relations but human-like: liebe.
●啊啊啊啊我终于看完啦，断断续续看的。超级喜欢这个wretch讲话，F每次都在讲自己宁愿死也不要什么什么，结果还是不愿意死嘛，切～我在想你俩怎么不在一起呢？就没有那么多人炮灰了。（这本书超适合学英语的，看完我好像对英语有了新的感悟
●缺点很多，情节太不可信，语言过于重复。 但总的来说，还是很喜欢。 Gothic Fiction ,tragedy, Science Fiction(often considered the first work of Science Fiction)
●稍显拖沓，讲述痛苦心情的笔墨很多，且都是直言“痛苦”，看完学习到了很多“痛苦”的同义词，堆砌太多了就感觉见怪不怪甚至乏味了。Monster虽然没有名字，但是是里面最立体的，甚至比永远陷于极致痛苦的弗兰肯斯坦更能引人共情。
《FRANKENSTEIN》读后感(一)：男主就是个伪万人迷.超级大颜控.动不动受惊生病.自私无担当的真伪娘
看到亚马逊的4.4星以及豆瓣的8.9的评分以及底下铺天盖地的赞美好醉人。虽然这本书的确有它的内涵，但作为一本小说（科幻什么的另说）它的故事性是很差的。情节拖沓，书里三分之一描写风景，三分之一是男主纤细敏感的心理描写，如果不是想亲眼目睹男主怎么死，一半的时候就该弃了。这本书的使命就是对科技、人造人的首次探讨。使命完成，它便可以功成身退了。除非研究，没必要放弃现代发展完善的科幻小说或那些语言情节精致的名著而选择这本。
《FRANKENSTEIN》读后感(二)：Eternal Fiend
终于看完了。悲剧的故事，无论是Frankenstein还是Fiend，从来都是知道怪人，但是Frankenstein是造它者且是本书主人公着实有些意料外，而所谓的科学怪人，到底是指创造者还是怪人呢？个人更能站在Fiend一边想，而科幻什么的大道理无视，但Creator这辈子无法逃脱的悲剧与痛苦，虽说是他人所逼，但其实确是自己所为，而他身上几乎不见恶，且文章中几乎所有人都是善类，而Fiend遇到的却都不是什么太好的人，湖综合说他们的好只限于对待同类之间，由此可见一斑。他的恶或许是Frankenstein的恶的外化，是全人类的恶的外化，一种天生的恶，无法去控制的恶。而结果，它亦就是萦绕心头久久不会散去的痛，在每个人的生命中紧紧地掐着你的脖子，让你窒息，让你抑郁，让你痛楚。
话说结局蛮悲但不是特别悲……
强烈谴责Fiend这个卖点上镜率过低。主人公的内心描述实在太多太累赘了……
《FRANKENSTEIN》读后感(三)：叫他creature而非monster
此书写于浪漫主义文学盛行的十九世纪初，此时科技达到了很高的水平，与之伴生的人类中心主义，更严重消解了人类本身对于自然的敬畏与对于未知的谦逊。作者玛丽雪莱以哥特小说塑造出弗兰肯斯坦与怪物形象，通过二者关系的变化，呈现了反伦理的自我实现导致的必然自我迷失。
如果视造物为弗兰根斯坦自我实现目标的具象化，那么造物从开始的从属于造物主，到最后成为怪物反噬造物主，则描绘了如果对自我实现的目标从一开始就没有正确认识，错误的目标辅以错误的手段很可能就会导致自我迷失。
文中最初弗兰根斯坦对至高权力的渴望驱使他去探索生死的秘密。这时候他对未造之物是有绝对的掌控者，造物主，他认为他创造的人将完全按他的心意生成，行动。这是他开始自我实现的动力。
从维克多十三岁接触炼金术师纳留斯.阿格里帕的著作，并不顾父亲劝阻投入巨大的热情伊始（p58），玛丽雪莱已经预示着日后维克多所追求的科学，实质上更偏向于魔法，而非理性。炼金术的目的在于长生，在宗教意义下，永生意味着人冲破限制，成为神。维克多的目的正是，获得圣经中上帝的能力，创造人。
在维克多与沃尔德曼教授交谈之后，他生出了这样的念头 “太多的成就已然达成，弗兰肯斯坦的灵魂大声呼喊，我一定要取得更多更深远的影响。”（p64）这是他的出发点，对前人的超越，不甘心无畏，这是对自我价值的追寻，这种追寻也是造物诞生的伏笔。而当他进一步窥见生死的秘密时，他的自我意识开始急剧膨胀了。“由我缔造的新生物将奉我为造物主，对我顶礼膜拜感恩戴恩。许多尽善尽美，妙不可言的生物亦将感恩我赐予他们生命。”（p68）显然这种感情已经完全不符合正常人类的思维，他已经在意识上企图取代神了。
然而事实证明，对神的取代是不成功的，他从一开始就并没有实现他所期待的完全控制。造物诞生后，他作为造物主对所造之物进行了完全的否定。这种否定的同时也是对其自我实现目的的否定，自我实现已然走向迷失。弗莱根斯坦在造物诞生之初，赋予它human being人类之名。“正是这些情感使我开始了人的创造。”（p68）而当新生儿睁开眼睛，丑恶的外表使得他直接被造物主降格转为 wretch， monster，怪物（p71）。在圣经中上帝的语言可以赋予每个存在身份，对于科学家和怪物其实就是在上帝剥夺了他所造的人的身份，而赋予其怪物的身份后，上帝自己也失去了资格成为神，因为他无法真正按自己的想法造物，他根本不能创造出他所期盼的尽善尽美，妙不可言的新物种。这是上帝失格，也是弗兰根斯坦对自身的否认所导致的第一步自我迷失。
在之后他的造物从素食主义者变为杀人者，杀死维克多的至亲，弗兰根斯坦本应当是其造物的父亲，督导他，教育他，为他承担后果。然而他不仅逃避父亲的责任，甚至选择隐瞒自己的实验和一切真相，导致无辜被冤枉死，也逃离家人。可以发现此时的弗兰肯斯坦已经彻底由无所不能的神彻底降为抱头鼠窜的凡人，并且这个凡人还为无数的人带来灾难。这是他作为一个基本人类的失格，他既做不成神，连人的责任都承担不了，自我迷失在此处进一步加剧。至此造物除了诞生之初与他对视，还没有直接的接触，而弗兰根斯坦已经彻底失去了这段关系里的主动权。
与此同时，在玛丽的笔下第二卷第三章至第八章的描述中，造物虽然没有获得他的上帝的爱和教育，甚至没有被赋予成为人的资格，但是他却像伊甸园中的亚当偷食禁果一样掌握了唯有人才能掌握的语言。语言象征智慧，他获得智慧，知道善恶美丑。造物凭借善得到目盲的德拉西对他的认可后，又因外貌而遭到德拉西亲眷的集体厌弃。愤怒的他开始第一次作恶，焚烧了带来的木屋，同时也开始滥用自己力量和知识，无疑他是强大的，这种恶的蒸腾和对父亲生而不养的报复心理使得他由单纯的造物，变成了真正的怪物。
怪物又一次找到维克多，甚至一度成功说服弗兰根斯坦去为自己制造一个夏娃。魔鬼反噬了上帝，此时弗兰根斯坦在经历了，上帝失格，人性失格，受到控制三个阶段，到达了迷失的顶点。
弗兰根斯坦一度挣扎，毁灭了即将诞生的夏娃，这种挣扎却并不能够实现完全的灵魂拯救。他遭到怪物最疯狂的报复。未婚妻的惨死促使他他向治安官坦白了创造了怪物的事实，然而他不能取得同类人的信任。“然而，对于一个日内瓦的治安官而言，他头脑里考虑的东西并非殉道精神和英雄气概，因而在他看来，这种灵魂升华与疯癫无异。他就像保姆哄孩子那样的安慰我，还说我的故事是神志昏迷引起的幻觉。”（p170）
可是这一次的挣扎并不能挽回他已经造成的悲剧。他远远超越时代和超越了凡人的能力使他已经完全有别于人，不受到人类的理解，怪物的报复更是迫使他完全失去了回到普通人的资格，必须以余生去击杀怪物，自我解救。至此，维克多如同偷盗火种的普罗米修斯，其在奥林匹斯山下制造的不可控终究使其失去了奥林匹亚众神的认同，余生都必须在巨大的苦难与孤单中度过。
弗莱根斯坦对知识的追求本身已经不完全是积极浪漫主义所向往的那种追寻了，他的自我实现带有对至高权力的渴望（征服，取代自然成为新的准则），是人类中心主义的极度膨胀，是危险的，甚至是会导致毁灭的。这种自我实现是带有天然反伦理属性的，是错误的。玛丽雪莱也用弗兰根斯坦与其造物关系的转变警醒世人，如果一开始自我实现的目标就是错误的，那么自我迷失将是必然的结果。
《FRANKENSTEIN》读后感(四)：Just live
Frankenstein marked the first complete and unabridged English novel I’ve read.
What a book!
In retrospect, the image of the creature first captivated me in the Hollywood blockbuster Van Helsing. Having learned that it was reputated as the forerunner of science fiction and taking its comparatively short context into consideration, I consequently resolved to choose Frankenstein as my maiden voyage into the sea of English literature. The process of reading is a bit long due to a barrage of exams. Nevertheless I finished two thirds of it in 4days while I was teaching in Yangchun. It must have been the tranquil atmosphere of the countryside that enabled me to read fluently and pleasantly.
The book is an absolutely ingenious masterpiece. Mary released the book anonymously in 1818. The one I read is the 1831 version, which was revised by Mary herself and remained the most frequently used version. Another name of the book is The Modern Prometheus, using an allusion as an analogue to the protagonist. Though this name sounds more suitable to the book’s main theme, Frankenstein had gradually claimed its universal acknowledgement and developed into a new allusion itself. It usually stands for “a metaphor of our own cultural crises” (Levine, 1979, P3). The excellence of the wording of Frankenstein needs no explanation. The beauty of literature gleamed at every corner of the book while it is not so obscure that I could grasp it quite easily. Many a thought popped up in my mind during reading and I dreaded that I might omit some of them, which is why I am trying my best to record it down.
The introduction by Dr. Siv Jansson presented many background knowledge and insightful inspiration of the book. It facilitated my apprehension. Yet I just want to put down my own judgment here instead of reiterating those fine comments. Only the information that Mary was a female writer, having been raised in a shattered family and the loss of her new born child should be mentioned.
The journey commenced with several lines quoted from Paradise Lost. It also featured in many parts of the book. Obviously Mary was inspired by it. Perhaps I’ll take the challenge to read it one day.
There were totally 3 different narrators in the book. Such setting created varieties in narrative style and presented the characters more distinctly. The first and last narrator was Walton. Basically his role was like ours, a reader of the story. Walton’s letters showed his sentiment to his lover and uncertainty to his future. He struggled to establish himself in the world by setting foot on the uncharted sea with boldness and anxiety. I thought that was a reflection to the youth in 19th century. They yearned for independence and strived to break away from the tradition. However, they still bore the burden from their family. They were disappointed to the oppression of the cruel reality. Thus Walton’s reaction to the story somewhat influenced ours. His deｓｃｒｉｐｔion to the first encounter of the creature and Frankenstein excited my mind and launched the story into the real business. It was at that time I fully realized what I was reading was a world classic horror.
Then Victor began to narrate his chilling story. He gained access to natural philosophy, namely, natural science at Ingolstadt The vivid deｓｃｒｉｐｔion of life and death kept me spellbound. I thought here revealed the main theme of the novel. Life is invaluable in its purity and greatness. Anyone who to attempts to violate or distort the principle of life is doomed to commit irreparable mistake. Throughout the book Mary spared no effort to emphasize the happiness and beauty of human beings’ life and form. On one hand, upon reading Walton’s letter we could perceive his deep affection to Margaret. As for Frankenstein, he had so many friends and relatives who bestowed love on him. And the De lacey family glimmered with integrity and veracity. Even the creature cursed his fate for not being able to live as normal as others. On the other, Mary stressed the intricacy of the mechanism of human beings. It is a perfect masterpiece of the omnipotent power of nature and no one is capable of duplicating it by certain kinds of chemical experiment. Not even close! Such main theme reflected the sorrow and miss of Mary’s to the death of her new born child.
Frankenstein was a truly genius in science. Yet he didn’t develop a full-fledged character. While he was obsessed in his horrid experiment, he never thought of the possibly tragic consequence. The pursuit of success and the prospect of creating a whole new race preoccupied his mind and barred him from rational reasoning. When it was finally finished, realizing it was not the consummation of his career, but rather the commencement of a serial catastrophe, he abandoned the poor creature, like a deformed baby left behind by their ruthless parents. It was Frankenstein’s irresponsibility that triggered the following tragedies. He shouldn’t have created the creature; he shouldn’t have abandoned it either. In no circumstances should anybody commit sins. In case it already came true one should do everything they can to amend it, rather than run away from it. Besides, he never had a practical plan or tried to think up one to tackle the situation. He spent all his time in moaning and groaning. Many a time he drowned himself in sadness, regardless of the creature he set loose to the world. Man don’t act like that! Maybe God is fair. He bestowed Frankenstein an exceptionally brilliant brain, yet didn’t bestow a mind strong enough to sustain the pain.
Chapter 11 to Chapter 16 was the creature’s monologue. I admitted that I was a trifle touched by his story. I hate to use the term demon or monster to refer to him. After all he was innocent. He was not the one to blame. Being rejected and even persecuted again and again by those who you love is unbearable. Can you conceive how desperate it feels to witness the degeneration of your goodness and virtue？ The creature longed for happiness and companionship. He wanted to live as normal as any others. He’d like to have someone to share his joy and sorrow. Unfortunately that’s a goal too far to reach for him. I believe most of us can never apprehend the feelings of the creature. We all take that to play with our family, to chat with our friends, to whisper with our lovers, to smile, to shout, to cry at will for granted. It is always when you lose something can you fully realize how important it is or how much you value them. Life is the biggest gift we received. However, it seems we are all too careless to recognize it.
Following Frankenstein’s rejection to the creature’s demand came the climax of the novel. Hatred, vengeance, tear and destruction constituted the finale. The destiny of Frankenstein and the creature inextricably intertwined. One incident broke out and led to another, thus set off a serious of disasters. The plot was so compact and well orchestrated that it held me entirely in its power. I constantly felt a strong compulsion to reach the ending.
Frankenstein’s mental stability was deteriorated due to the consecutive death of his beloved. I couldn’t figure out how much time he wasted in sickness or self-indulgence. He simply immersed himself in mourning and elusion, leaving his enemy to fire at will. It seems he never woke up form his dream until everyone he treasured die in his hand. At that moment it was too late to do anything of help. Weakness and cowardice shall never prevail.
Finally he summoned up his fortitude to hunt his enemy down. And his stirring words to the sailor in the final letter shed some manhood long lost in his life. Then he died and left his task unfulfilled.
The creature’s last word reflected the main theme. Mary wanted to remind us the beauty of life. Just live, people!
A lovely bookmark featuring a strawberry pattern accompanied my journey. It was already enclosed in the book when I borrowed it from the library. I like it very much. Yet I decided to return it along with the book. May that be a little torch to shed some lights on the road of admiring the book to anyone who happened to love it.
