Frankenstein By Merry Shelly

Robert Walton staring off with writing letter to Margret on his voyage to keep her updated on his status, and then finally telling his story to a complete stranger he met on his voyage, and THEN taking about his childhood and how it literally all started, is all well and good. But to be perfectly honest, he's the least interesting character (along with his sister) in the book. The book to me picks up when the monster is born. He literally gets created by Robert to be later casted out by his own creator, then later society. He has to go out into the world and learn things on his own, which is equivalent to a toddler leaving the house to learn about life. He does learn some things though, by reading books, and observing others. Specifically watching a family which later to become his "adoptive family". Although he watches and observes other he does commit murder for vengeful terms, which is very unfortunate and scary to think about. Mainly because although he's learned so much, he somehow missed the part about. "killing is wrong"
