In Frankenstein<\/em> by Dave Morris, the story plot is still the same as Mary Shelly\u2019s Frankenstein<\/em>, but it has different approaches and point of view from the original work. These points of view change the story entirely, since the readers are now reading it through different speaker as if they are the characters themselves. Although it is interesting to read a story in different point of view, it is sometimes confusing and I wish it could just be written in single point of view throughout the story.<\/p>\n

In part one, the second person point of view gives readers a sense of companionship with Frankenstein. Readers are helping Frankenstein deciding what to get for the body structures, and I feel like I am one of the creators, which is interesting.<\/p>\n

However in part two, it shifts to first person point of view, and readers are now the monsters. This, similar to part one, gives reader a sense of involvement in the story, but in a different approach. Although it is great that Morris is trying different approach to narrate the story, I was sometimes confused of what I am in the story. Also, I find myself still standing on the human part, believing human nature is kind and feeling disturbed when the monster\/I kill Williams.<\/p>\n

The point of view in the rest of the story is all first person, but the readers are going from Victor\u2019s point of view instead of the monster\u2019s. It really is confusing in the beginning of part three, because I don\u2019t know if I am Victor\u2019s companion or Victor himself. Every time I start on a new chapter or part, I have to question myself whether or not I am on the right point of view this time. I just have to put in extra effort to clarify the story.<\/p>\n

Also, the options are mostly in second person point of view asking what \u201cyou\u201d want, and I will just have to stop for a while and think about who I really am at this point. Therefore, even though it is interesting the author writes in different approaches and provides many options, I just want the story to be in the same point of view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
