The Different Frankenstein

Today our literature teacher asked us “we know that people hate the monster because he’s ugly and very scary, so he did the bad things, but if people treat the monster well, what the monster will be? (In the Frankenstein) “I think the whole story will be different, the monster will be a good monster like a good boy, he will love to help people do many things, and his supernatural power will be appropriate on the right things, but……
The monster was very ugly, and the people were terrified by the monster.
If Frankenstein creates a beauty like Pandora instead of the ugly monster, maybe people will love him or her, so the story tells us appearance is everything? I think of course not, but it makes me consider that do I pay attention to people’s looking instead of their personalities? I hope not, but I can’t deny it.
And what is beauty? If Frankenstein is a monster like his creature, and other people in the world are also monsters, the creature must be very happy and he won’t feel shamefully or lonely because he is no different to people.
I think we should respect the people who are different instead of hate them.

Yeah that's a great book. The real monster in the book is Dr. Frankenstein.
