I had to read it for my English class. As a reader of the original Frankenstein, I definitely prefer Shelleys’, especially since it really delved deep into Victors’ madness and the characters felt way more alive than here, but you also have to note that it’s a stage play, a short one at that.So for this length it still was enjoyable.
