    I argue that The Monster emerges from the darkness of the souls of the residents of Whilomville.

In all honesty, the movie has terrible quality, but I thought it was interesting that they used various colored frames to add texture. The film…

Some many say that Shelley intended to show that women were superior but when you analyze the book you see that is not true. The three main characters: Caroline, Justine…
