I have been reading Frankenstein and enjoying it. My fiancé however read the excerpt about social class and didn’t like Shelley’s writing style, claiming she was trying to hard to sound intelligent or scholarly. I didn’t think that when I read, but after hearing him read it out loud, he was right. Regardless, I am still enjoying the story, and I told Chase (my fiancé) that she was pretty young when she wrote Frankenstein and it was a first novel. After this discussion, I have become interested in Shelley’s other works, so I will see if her writings grew with her, which I don’t doubt.
