I am writing a review of the novel Frankenstein, which was first foretold in 1817 during a camping holiday to the Swiss Alps, and they were telling ghost stories. And first published in 1818, which was a rarity for a female author to publish her work not under a pseudonym of a male. The book itself is a gripping tale spoken in duel narrative in order to give different perspectives of the unfolding of events, but also to further advance the storyline.
A brief synopsis of the plot of Frankenstein is as followed, it opens in reverse where you're presented with the perpetuating climax of the book, and then the main protagonist Victor Frankenstein relaying the series of events which have unfolded to where he's now. Victor as a boy was facinatied with alchemy and philosophy, and this moulded his future as he went to university in Ingolstadt and eventually created the abomination Frankenstein.
