timeless book, because people today can still

people during Frankenstein's time. I believe the
reason Frankenstein has remained a classic is
because so many of the themes still relate to the
times of today. There are many themes I could have
chosen from to write this paper about. Science,
cruelty, fear, love, re...

soap operas and loneliness. But, there are books
that pop every once in a while that last for
