HALF WAY THROUGH: Frankenstein

Whilst reading Frankenstein i have found that the book is a lot more detailed than the film. Through reading the book it is easier to pick up on the themes and symbols. For example light is used to represent an opportunity, discovery and knowledge. Fire is used to symbolise danger and foreshadows misfortunes, this is supported by the example of Elizabeth setting herself on fire, things do not get better from that point, only worse.
