It's like a breath of fresh air since Wuthering Heights occupied most of every English class. The first reading of Frankenstein was decent. I was hoping for something more interesting, but it's been much better than Wuthering Heights so far. The first few chapters helped establish some characteristics and back story to Frankenstein and I'll admit. I always thought that Frankenstein was the name of the creature and not the creator. But anyways, I wasn't really going to relate this to a game because I haven't finished the book nor is there any obvious game reference that came to mind. At first I was going to try and relate this to Wuthering Heights because...you know, there's an obsession and whatever, but there wasn't really anything else to go off of other than that. So instead, i'll try to provide some of my thoughts on the book. so Frankenstein named his creature Adam, and the first thing i thought of was that this was a religious symbol. Frankenstein represented the creator of man(Adam) and the beginning quote also helped establish this, stating that man was molded out of clay. Frankenstein basically spent years his of his life trying to create a creature, kind of like the creation of man, however all the work was for naught since it all ended in disappointment. I don't know if Shelly was naming the creature Adam on purpose, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was. If i remember correctly, Frankenstein later makes a wife for Adam, which may have represented eve because they were both made of the same material. Although the comparisons are a bit strange, they're there, and it was the first thing i thought of when i read the passage.
