Professor: By now you should all have finished the chapter where Dr. Frankenstein brings his creature to

life. I’d like to start by asking you how you feel about this event. Yes, Anna?

Anna: I can’t believe Frankenstein ran away from his creature. I mean, he didn’t even give the crea-

ture a chance. He just took off and let this thing loose upon the world.

Professor: How would you describe his reaction? Todd?

Todd: Totally irresponsible. And totally surprising. I mean, he worked so hard to make this happen,

right? He stopped eating and sleeping and writing letters to his family all so he could work

around the clock on making his creature. And then the minute he succeeded, he ran off.

Professor: Why do you think he did that?

Elena: He was scared. He thought the creature was going to hurt him.

Todd: He was scared, all right, but not so much of the creature.

Professor: Of what, then?

Todd: Of people finding out what he’d done.

Professor: What do you mean?

Todd: Well, I think the minute the creature came to life, and Frankenstein saw what the creature

really looked like, he couldn’t believe that he’d created such a monster. He wanted to be glori-

fied as a god who could bring the dead back to life, but now he would be seen as a devil who

created monsters.
