Book review - Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, by Marry Shelley
In this tale, a frequent concern is placed on the corruption of the soul. Therefore, as a modern reader, you would have to have a strong sense of morality to sympathize with the narrator’s anguish, as a big share of the pages is dedicated to describe his self-inflicted torments and his psychological struggles with the consequences of his acts.
The act of murdering is an ultimate disgrace and a murder, an unforgivable wretch. In this resides most of the horror of the novel, which may render to frustration the modern reader, so used to stories of slaughter and other hideous crimes. Keep in mind, though, that the tale was written in the victorian era.
Yet, the concept of an undead creature made out of corpses may chill one’s bones, even though the original novel doesn’t have all the cinematographic appeal added by post adaptations to the original plot.
Finally, it is pitiful the treatment Frankenstein’s creature receives from humankind, whose hostility towards its hideousness turns the creature into a villain just like it is taken as.

How I came to Ireland
My adventure started in September, 2013. By that time, I had completed more than 3 years living in Porto Alegre. What in the beginning had been a good experience of life, became a boring existence. Honestly, the best part of my days used to be the shower time.
A few months before, a friend of mine had traveled to Spain and came back with amazing photos. Right afterwards, another friend had announced he was also moving out to Ireland.
I realized then that it wasn't so difficult to live abroad, and that it would be the right thing to do: firstly because I have always dreamed in living in Europe since I was a kid, and also because I was in a need for a change in my life.
Decided, I then started to plan my travel... In the beginning, of course, I was afraid of too many things... Of spending too much money in something that wouldn't give me any return, of my family judgement, of not being able to think in every detail, of my safety, of not being able to do everything without help...
Anyways, here I am. I don't really know how could I deal with my own insecurity, paid a school in another country and tickets to Ireland, and how did I do it in less than 4 months. I think I just did what I used to do when I am in despair: I closed my eyes and lunched myself into the abyss.
Now I am here for 3 months. Has it been worth? Of course it has! I am loving Dublin! Since I've stepped off from the airplane I felt like I had found what I was looking for: my European dream..."
