Frankenstein

            My all time favorite book is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Personally, I am one to analyze and compare different aspects in literature. In Frankenstein this is especially easy due to the extensive use of symbolism. One of these symbols is the hand and the strength and power the hand has. She uses it to explain the way it can not only destroy, but also create. She also describes many situations, that can be related to biblical stories. Her writing is clear and easy to understand, leaving room for deeper analysis. Her extensive use of vocabulary also contributes to the book as a whole. It allows her reading to be more enjoyable. I am also very intrigues at the age Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein. She was the age of eighteen at the time and was able to write a story that would be passed down for generations. Frankenstein is my favorite book.
