It was hard for Felix to talk to Safie because she was Arabian, and he was French, and they did not speak each other's languages.

What is a good introduction for Frankenstein essay?
I think a good start to a Frankenstein essay is mainly your choice.
In order for it to start, the entire essay needs to cooperate.
Some possible topics could be:
1.) Satan/Adam. (The Monster talks to Victor about a book it read.) What it's trying to say is that it can be Satan, or Adam. If Victor runs like he did in Chapter 5, he will be Satan. If he acts like a parent, which he really should be, the monster can be Adam.
2.) Nature/Isolation. 2 Topics that are used throughout the book that both ask if Victor created the monster for what reason. Nature- The destruction of nature could lead to 'monstorous' results (The tree + lightning) Isolation- (Victor being alone for years making a thing out of body parts- one addition is that he's scared by a leaf falling.)
I'd appreciate changes to this because I'm not an expert
In the novel Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus why does victor want to create the creature?
He created the creature for a few different reasons. One reason is that he was on a mission to cheat death. He wanted to discover a way to bring the dead back to life, so as to end the suffering of the deceased's grieving relatives.
He also wanted to start a new race of artificially constructed humans, ostensibly because doing so would somehow be a service to mankind. But in truth, his aim was far less altruistic. All he really wanted was to play God, to be the revered master of a race of people who would worship him as their Creator.

When is book 3 dean koontz Frankenstein coming out?
I found this after hours of searching. I'm not 100 percent sure it's the real answer, but it seems logical and is the best thing I've found thus far. The poster claimed it came from the Dean Koontz website, though I was unable to find it there. Here is the question the person asked and Dean's response:
This has to be the question you get most often. Two words: Frankenstein Three. Oh, one other word: When?-Chao, Delaware
Writing the first two books, I discovered yet another character flaw in myself: I can't collaborate. None of the fault lies in those writers who tried to collaborate with me; they were great. But at the keyboard, I'm a fussy, stubborn, obsessive, impossible, single-minded, annoying nutcase who can become homicidal over a disagreement about commas. When not at the keyboard, of course, I'm an absolute sweetie, with a temperament somewhere between that of Spongebob Squarepants and Barney the Dinosaur, and everywhere I go, admiring angels sing a processional before me. After finishing the first two books, I decided not to try again with a collaborator but to plunge into the third novel myself. Hurricane Katrina presented an unprecedented narrative problem. After the tragedy and suffering endured by the citizens of New Orleans, I could not bring myself to set loose Victor and his creations to wreak more havoc on the city, so I had to figure how to include the hurricane and work around it in a graceful way. This slowed things down. But I expect to finish Book Three soon, for publication in winter 2007. This book will be released in 2009. Koontz chose to delay the release as after hurricane Katrina he did not wish to release any further monsters or destruction on New Orleans. While this has been seen as a measure of respect, it has left his fans eagerly awaiting the final part of the trilogy for far longer than expected. The title of the new book is, Dead and Alive.
Update 6th may Bantam Dell will publish DEAN KOONTZ'S FRANKENSTEIN #3: DEAD AND ALIVE, in a premium mass market edition, on July 28.
The name "Frankenstein" refers to the scientist Victor Frankenstein who creates a monster in Mary Shelley's novel. The name has become synonymous with the monster itself, even though the monster is never actually named in the book. The novel explores themes of creation, responsibility, and the consequences of playing god, as Victor Frankenstein's creation ultimately leads to tragedy and destruction.
