barxatty [35]

Answer:

When was the first edition of the novel Frankenstein published?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The first edition of "Frankenstein" was published on 1st January, 1818.

Explanation:

Mary Shelly's famous gothic novel "Frankenstein" or  "The Modern Prometheus" was first published on January 1, 1818 without an author. this anonymous publication was due to the fact that women writers were not openly accepted in those times.

This novel tells the story of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein's creation of a monstrous being in a rather unethical manner. Though he may be unusual, he wasn't a monster initially. When he was rejected by his own creator, Victor, he started becoming more like a monster. He despised himself and hated everyone who rejected him, also people began to be repulsed by his appearance too.

Narrated from Victor's point of view, the story moved from when the created being became the master who had control over the other humans.  He was responsible for the death of William, Victor's younger brother and also that of a young girl named Justine who had been accused of being William's killer. The monster approached Victor during his vacation in the mountains, admitting his actions of killing William. But he also said he has reasons and asked him to create a female for him so that he will not be alone. Everyone got their partners to be with but he is a lonely monster, shunned by everyone and with no companion, even rejected by his own creator.

Victor was eventually convinced and he started working on the new creation. But, afraid of what the monster might really do if he has a companion, Victor destroys the unfinished project. Angered by this, the monster vowed to make Victor's life hell, promising to hurt him on his wedding night. Victor was then arrested and accused for the death of his friend Henry, which of course, was the work of the monster. Some years later, he married Elizabeth. Remembering the monster's promise, he decided to send his new wife to another room, thinking the monster will come for him. But, it was his wife who would be killed instead. So, Victor vowed to hunt the monster down and made it his life mission.

Whats the error? PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CLOTHES IN THE LOCKER ROOM OVER NIGHT
luda_lava [24]
"Over night" should be all one word, "overnight", and there is no punctuation, or proper capitalization, since the sentence is all in caps.
Hope this helps!
