Several days ago I completed reading Mary Shelley's most famous novel: ‘Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus’.
Before starting the book, I felt somewhat reluctant to begin. Although I generally enjoy the Gothic genre more than any other, every stereotype pointed towards it being a rather grim and depressing tale, with a macabre tone overriding any finer qualities relating to plot and narrative. To my surprise and pleasure however, my initial judgements on the book were disproved almost as soon as I began to read.
