As you read...

One of the reasons that Frankenstein was selected as the book for the Summer Reading project is its multitude of themes. As you read, think about how the following are expressed in the book:

Ambition
Good versus evil
Horror and terror
Injustice
Obsessive behavior
Physical deformity
Parental love and responsibility
Revenge
Science and ethics
Social responsibility

Are there other themes you've noticed as you've read?
