Reaction to News Article.

Many ideas and opinions have come up about Mary Shelley's story, "Frankenstein".
Many times writers write about things tghat have happened in their lives, and Mary Shelley wasn't writing an autobiography but she took some things, that happened in her life and used them as a fuel to write her horrific novel. Stephen Witty brings this up in his new article,by saying that there is a little bit suffering, loss, and being ostracized. As he said, there is a little bit of monster in everyone.
I agree with him because everyone, has something bad happen to them in life that changes them forever. He says that everyone feels sorry for the monster as well, and we all do. We feel bad for him because he is rejected all the time, no one accepts him and he did not ask to be brought into life. So while he is trying to make friends no one wants to be with you, and the one child you think that wont be against you is, and is your mortal enemies brother. So you are forced to kill him. He has no choice in what he does, everything is forced opon him which I think is completely unfair. When this writer talks about Mary Shelley I think he is right because, she makes you feel sympathy for the characters in her books, out of stuff that has happened in her life.
