Frankenstein

The ending of Frankenstein seemed oddly reminiscent of the ending of Othello. I was slightly surprised that the monster seemed so remorseful immediately following Frankenstein's death, which is similar to Othello immediately discovering that the death of Desdemona was unjust. After some reflection, I suppose that it would make sense that he would mourn the death of his creator. The monster was an emotional creature, he certainly wasn't heartless. However, he had seemed so bent on Frankenstein's destruction and knew the consequences of his actions beforehand, for him to turn around and immediately regret them. The ending also seemed anti-climactic with the return to the epistolary frame. It seemed to just end. I was hoping that the speaker would at least have continued to seek his goal or offer some sort of closure to the novel outside of Frankenstein's death. But perhaps that was Shelley's goal. Not all  stories are meant to have a satisfying ending and serve the novel better to leave the endings as they are.
