Frankenstein, super freak!!!!

So I was actually paying attention to some of the discussions in class today and came up with this. Nothing really ties together or makes too much sense in the book, for example the monster being eight-foot-tall but having limbs from humans. Now I might be going out on a limb here, that was a pun get it, but it does not make too much sense for normal human limbs to make a creation reach eight feet. I also noticed that in the novel Victor talks about the skin almost not covering the entire body, this puzzled me. Unless the limbs were stripped of skin for some reason there should most definitely be enough skin to reach around the body comfortably correct? Finally, why did Victor not just take an entire corpse from the grave or mortuary, why hack them up…freak.

  1. So let me get this straight: Everything else in the book was totally realistic except for this? I mean you could totally believe the whole having the technology in the 1800s to raise things back from the dead, but once it got to his bones size, it became totally unrealistic? It's science fiction. There are somethings you just have to use the imagination on.
