Boy I sure am excited for my good friend Jonathan to begin his trip! What a fantastic business opportunity for him :) I'm sure nothing terrible will happen. Also I'm sure his lovely fiancée Mina will miss him terribly, but she will be having a lovely time with her good friend Lucy, and nothing untoward or scary will happen to them either :))))

Everytime I read Frankenstein, the same line makes me put the book down and stare at the wall. It’s my favorite line in the book; it has its own highlighter color in my annotations. The first time I read it, I literally detoured after my last class just to tell my lit teacher how much I liked the line because I couldn’t wait until second period the next day. Here’s the line:

“Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it.”

This is said by the creature. He wanted to live. He wanted to live life so badly even though he had had such a difficult one. He still loved the song of the birds and the smell of the flowers and the joy in the world even if he never got to truly experience that joy. I just. AHHHH.

He wanted to fight for a life he never got to live.
