Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, follows a journey of a young man named Victor who is set out to create life because he believe there is a way to make a person come back to life through science. He leaves home and heads to a place called Ingolstadt where he begins to work in a lab and gathers dead corpses to make his new "human life form." In order to do this, Victor then begins to put pieces of different corpses together to create one of the largest and most amazing humans ever. He made the creature, which many people call pieces. From the book, this is the results of the creation, "His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of lustrous black and flowing ; his teeth of pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were setm his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips" (pg 43).
