Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Frankenstein

the perspective of the creature, for some strange reason; Shelly’s writing encourages the audience to receive and recognize the creatures agonies. Loneliness, anxiety, fear. In my opinion; there will never be a book like this, ever again. Her writing is incredible, the way she is able to fully bring in so many themes at once, as well as how she is able to encourage the audience to think so deeply about how these characters may feel, and interact with the world around them, honestly no book could ever make me feel the way i felt about this.

I shall die. I shall no longer feel the agonies which now consume me 

Emma Alexandra

I beheld the corruption of death succeed to the blooming cheek of life

Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow.

I shunned the face of man; all sound of joy or complacency was torture to me; solitude was my only consolation—deep, dark, death-like solitude.
