The Creature & Lennie

After reading the creature's narrative, he himself reminded me of Lennie from Of Mice and Men. The two characters are very similar based on their naiveness and deformities and how these character flaws limit their social interactions and acceptance among other human beings. Each character displays humanity's fear of the unknown and abnormal and that this fear is so strong that humans will try to eliminate it at any cost.

  1. Hillary, I liked how you were able to connect Frankenstein with Of Mice and Men and draw upon the characters of each novel and reveal how they were similar.It makes it easier for people to understand each character if they can look to other resources like this for detailed expansion.
