The story of Frankenstein, summarized by Shmoop is a tale that has its own dystopia of the original Frankenstein book written by Mary Shelley. The summarized version felt like it had a more modernized approach (Shmoop). The story was way off compared to the original story. Mary had a way of bringing out the reader’s expression and show emotions such as fear, excitement, and remorse. This summarized review of the video starts off with Norse mythology and shows references of Norse demigod Thor. The topics of the review were way off from the original, so much that it was actually quite comical. The connections from each point to point was an interesting placement of ideas. One that could not be anticipated. The idea flow was a very eccentric and the concept of death has always fascinated me. The summary mentioned the reanimation of the dead. The fascinating concept of future possibility is astonishing, even in our time we have developed cryogenic freezing, which can hold the key to human immortality. Cryogenics freezes the bodies at a point were if future medical technological advancement arises they can live again. I think the concept is a cry for help for people who have fear of death syndrome. The next concept in the story was regarding the materials needed for the creation of Frankenstein. Which were play-doh and toothpicks. The story definitely was created to appease a younger crowd. The story also has a concept of deception whereas Frankenstein felt of abandonment from has the creator. That leads to the concept of Man Vs God. A comment on the video states that “That’s What Happens When Man Plays God.” The destruction of man is another grueling topic depicted in this summary. In an essence the story/ review was interesting. I do recommend the video as well; it was a good watch.
