The Monster


Well, Halloween is tomorrow and one of the frequently portrayed characters is this guy. But, what do we call him. You and perhaps everyone you know will call him by the name Frankenstein and all would in fact be wrong. In Mary Shelly's book Frankenstein he is called the monster, the demon and even the devil but never Frankenstein. Frankenstein is in fact the man who created the monster. So when you say you are going to be Frankenstein for Halloween, next time dress up in a lab coat, wear a surgeons mask, don't eat, act real schizy and if you want a bit of Hollywood start yelling "it's alive"! You will confuse your friends but you will honor a fantastic piece of literature.
