Anticlimactic

"He was soon borne away by the waves, and lost in darkness and distance." - pg. 166

What kind of epic last sentence is that? That was a trick question - that's not an epic last sentence at all! I think the ending of this story is very anticlimactic. I understand that the basis of the story is Frankenstein's internal battle and his feelings, as well as the creature's journey, but there were definitely suspenseful parts. Each time the creature crept into a window somewhere I picture one of those creepy mirror scenes in a scary movie. They're so predictable, and yet they scare me every time. Why wasn't the ending more like that? Watch the video and imagine Brittany Snow (the blonde one) as Walton at the end of the movie. Ignore the fact that they're not on a boat and all the other very evident differences. Then the creature will appear eventually. I would've enjoyed that ending a lot more. Oh well, the book was actually more interesting than I was expecting. At this point, anything's better than A Separate Peace.
