Pop culture really distorted Frankenstein! It’s kind of ironic we made him into a monster when that’s what the creature was fighting against, he just wanted friends!

[@JulEnglefaris]

Exactly 😭

[@NatashaW1]

Either way you can still see him as a monster as being a 'monster' doesn't necessarily mean your evil a lot of the time it just means "nonhuman" or "different to mankind" I mean you could even call whales monsters if you wanted and it would work 😭A monster can also be seen as someone who goes against man kind "policies" which includes murderers, pedos etc. And since he drinks blood is honestly just a vampire he's seen as 'different' and "nonhuman" which for a lot of people would mean a monster. Same with witches, people from certain religions etc if it's not in their 'norm' they are likely to see them as a monster.

[@JulEnglefaris]

@@NatashaW1 are you talking about Frankenstein's creation... Or dracula? Because Frankenstein ate berries and acorns. I think he tried meat, but mostly lived off the land cuz he was in exile. I don't remember him drinking blood.

[@NatashaW1]

@@JulEnglefaris Oh sh*t yeah sorry 🤦‍♀️😭 I always get them 2 confused please ignore half of my last comment. 😢

[@JulEnglefaris]

@@NatashaW1 it's all good! I was just curious. I get what you were saying how people can be called a "monster" because they're different and that's also why they called Frankenstein a monster too. So it still applies

[@Becksnnc]

I think Animal Farm is the ultimate easy classic. It's extremely short, very easy to understand and also has a great message. I also think Rebecca is a great book for beginners of classics. Even though was written in that classic time period it doesn't read like one.

[@amyle9097]

Animal Farm is the goat

[@imlise9996]

would highly recomend "anne of green gables". my favorite of all time! definitely over details the ambience, but still so beautifully written and so heartbreaking as well as really easy to read (coming from someone whose english is not their first language).

[@danyliv2028]

That's funny I moved to Canada in Prince of Edward's Island and was thinking about buying it today. Now I'm hooked:)

[@ediedee909]

When my mom read that to me when i was like 6 it changed my entire brain chemistry and trajectory of my life. I literally wore two braids everyday for a year because i was so obsessed with anne😭 i still am obsessed with her and the show and movie

[@milindocs]

"Anne of Green Gables" is currently my reading! I'm so in love with the way it is written, it's like a warm feeling every page 💖

[@mnlxlover00]

I first started reading the series as an English assignment in high school and quickly became hooked and wanted to binge all the other books. 😂 If you find it boring or too wordy, I'd highly suggest listening to the audiobooks online. There are lots of free ones to be found on KZbin which are all great quality and kinda add a sense of realism to the stories. 🤍

[@dailycarolina.]

Even though is big massive book, The Count of Montecristo is a so easy , fast-paced read and I would definetely include it this list.

[@thereaddrawclub4706]

i started reading a few classics this year, and i really struggle with the language. one thing that has helped is slowing down my reading, and thinking all of the words as though i was saying them aloud (aka when we had to read out paragraphs in english class). it's really helped me process the language and storyline. because of this reading 'frankenstein' is so much easier than when i was struggling with 'pride and prejudice'.

[@throneofpages]

that is such a good tip!! i also find myself reading out loud to myself when i don't understand certain parts or phrases and it's so helpful

[@buttercupetc]

thank you professor bella for providing this syllabus for us🙇‍♀☕ I tried to read jane eyre in 6th grade but it was ROUGH because i was a literal child so i DNFed, but whenever you talk about it i want to give it another try!!

[@NatashaW1]

You tried to read Jane eyre at 12?? 😭 I first picked up the book at 14 (no I still haven't read it) it might also be the slang that puts a lot of people off its old Yorkshire slag. Which I personally do not understand alot of.... Even though I lived 15 minutes (by car) away from howarth... Which is where they are from by the way.

[@cocacola37281]

for me it was wuthering heights by emily bronte when i was 11. i understood it was something about unrequited love and sad stuff but i didn't understand why were people complicating their lives so much 🙂💀💀💀

[@isabellasong1697]

I’m 15 and I read it a month ago, and it was actually SO beautiful! Definitely try it again!

[@rahabintemotiul]

I really need to reread Jane eyre- I read it at 12 years old and found it kinda mid lmao but recently I reread some random passages and loved everything so I might need to reread

[@andi_nm]

Your idea of Dickens prior to reading his work it's so interesting because even in his time he was actually seen as a very accessible writer, if I'm not mistaken he was even criticized by it because of the whole "literature has to be superior" idea. His works were loved and read by people who weren't necessarily scholars, rich, etc. and the fact that he would touch on social problems made him a very popular author.

[@ipek8209]

i'd also like to add: - the little prince. it's super easy to read & i feel like you can take away something new from it at any age. - animal farm. even though though it carries a very important and chilling message, the story itself is so easy to fly to through & i'd hate to be that person but the onion metaphor might be in demand here. - anne of green gables. even though it's a children's classic, i think it's a delight to read at any age. - little women. it's such a heartwarming tale with really accessible language.

[@maccasbirds]

I also recommend 'Parfume: The Story of a Murderer' by Patrick Süskind For people who are into Horror, Mystery and general want to read something very different - about a topic which isn't really popular talked about It's also made into a movie with the same name in 2006 (Alan Rickman is in the cast)

[@throneofpages]

i've actually seen the movie yeaars ago before i ever read a classic and really enjoyed it!! i didn't even know it was a book until recently so maybe i should pick it up 👀

[@maccasbirds]

@@throneofpages oh nice! Yeah check it out :)

[@kate559]

Yes!!! I just finished this,it’s in one of my all time faves now! Immediately 5 stars 😭💕

[@Adil_Toufa]

I watched the movie. Amazing one, I didn't know it was inspired from a classic book. I'll check it out.

[@DanWest8888]

Ah, yes! And the English translation of Perfume is by John Woods, who is totally brilliant. He's widely appreciated for the new(er) translations of most of Thomas Mann's novels. Whose work is, btw, some of the MOST literarily "challenging" AND rewarding I've come across so far. War and Peace is a decent "warm up" book for Mann... Joseph and His Brothers is the final "goal", if you reallllly wanna be a snooty elitist. Holy f*ck is it gorgeous and dense and smart and SO full of ideas and intelligence, just wow. Maybe start with The Magic Mountain? I dunno - it's all pretty dense and overwhelmingly beautiful.

[@ashleywankel2234]

I absolutely adore Frankenstein and Pride and Prejudice. I will add the others to my radar of classics to read. I think Dracula is also a very accessible classic!

[@larimartt]

English isn't my first language so I think this guide is going to be really helpful

[@tayanenanes]

I picked the picture of Dorian Gray this year because of you! I really didn't like the movie so I probably would not read it at all, but thanks to you I did it and I loved so much, I think Oscar Wilde writing is so unic his obsession with beauty really shows in his words truly amazing 💙✨ I was so obsessed that it's all the over my dissertation now hahaha ☕

Jane Eyre is the first classic I’ve read. I absolutely fell in love with it.. It refused to leave my life for days after I had finished reading. Charlotte Bronte’s writing style is just breathtaking.

[@charu2774]

The first classic that I read was Lolita and even though I was an amateur reader back then, I was blown away by its beautiful writing and that's where my passion to read all kinds of genre ignited.

[@stephaniecrossman2864]

Your videos make me want to read everything on my tbr within a week

[@Marcusthemoonwalker828]

The two books that opened me up to classic literature were Animal Farm, it was my year 11 (5th form) English text, and I believe that due to its simplicity but also strong warning on totalitarianism, how power corrupts and the manipulation of people through language, and the Great Gatsby, which I really enjoyed due to its criticism of the American dream, or the dream of creating a new identity for yourself through wealth, and how it corrupts your morality.

[@CatsCraftStudio]

I also only knew Frankenstein from all those movies and I was so surprised when I eventually read the book. I fell in love with the book and the way it was written, the atmosphere of the book sucks you in, I haven't stopped thinking about it since I read it. Also a recommendation for everyone who hasn't read it yet. Please please please read Carmilla, it's a sapphic vampire story that predates Dracula and is imo way better than Dracula.

[@meliassadi]

I love Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre and A Tale of two cities. All three are on my Top 10 Classic books of all time. And I agree with you, they are all very accessible.

[@MsKakay12]

i just finished pride and prejudice last night, which was my first jane austen book, so this came at a great time! ☕☕

[@jjx4916]

Definitely forwarding your video to my 9th grade class because they claim how boring classics are :') I love how diverse your recommendations always are! There's something for anyone, whether it's a romance or a thriller. The first classic that ever made me fall in love with reading in general is Peter Pan! The language is a bit outdated and there are some.. questionable descriptions, it was very easy to read and captured the innocence and adventure of childhood so well, I found myself crying over it by the end. I know you're gonna love The Great Gatsby so much, I'm starting the campaign for you to read it as soon as possible! And if you liked Dickens, then A Christmas Carol will be perfect for christmas time!! It's very heartwarming and one of those ✨️classic✨️ christmas books

[@venusrose1798]

I finished Frankenstein for the first time a few days ago and it immediately became one of my most favourite books ever! I devoured it slowly and let every line sink in 😩 I already want to go back so I can recite it by memory

[@sixofpages]

the picture of dorian gray is the first classic i’ve ever read for fun and i loved it so so much! it’s definitely a new all time favorite book and i can’t wait to get more into classics because it really sparked my interest in wanting to read more classics. there is definitely a gay subtext, i had a tab just labeled “gay” for all the gay moments and there were definitely a lot of them LOL. it’s such an interesting classic to analyze and i can’t wait to reread it because i feel like i will notice things i didn’t notice the first time. i tried reading pride and prejudice earlier this year but i couldn’t really get into it, so i think i may watch the 2005 movie first because i’ve been wanting to watch it for years but i always said i wanted to read the book first but i may have to make an exception because i really wanna get into the story, i feel like i would really love it! so many good recommendations in this one and all books i’ve been dying to read, so this is giving me motivation to pick up more classics 💕☕️

The two books that have sent me on the beginning of my classics journey were “The Picture of Dorian Grey”, and Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. Though I did enjoy “The Picture of Dorian Grey”, (4.5⭐️) I REALY loved the absurdity of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”, which became my first 5⭐️ read since the summer. It is a bit of a chonker and one character has some odd speaking patterns due to English not being that character’s first language, but do not to be discouraged! It is written in fairly accessible English and is a wild ride to read (despite the what the blurb makes it out to be). Anyway, I highly recommend Dracula!

☕️ Out of these I’ve read Dorian gray and Jane Eyre most recently and I love both of them and agree so much!! Jane is such a good character to follow and Wildes writing is fantastic I need to read more of his books. I read Frankenstein in high school and I absolutely loved being able to discuss it in class, it’s been like over 10 years since I read it. I watched one of the movies of it and thought it was so terrible and the book is just on a whole other level. I need to read P&P cuz enemies to lovers/people being antagonistic to each other and realizing there is more to them is like my all time favorite trope ever. I haven’t read any Dickens either but I know the last hours by Cassie is supposed to be inspired by great expectations but I would probably read tale of two cities first. Wish we had more classics by LGBT/POC people but I do love them and reading about the human experience like centuries ago.

I watched the BBC series of Shakespeare Plays as I was reading a particular Shakespeare play which helped me so much when I was in college; it helped me get through it. I would also try to read around a book online. Who is the author and what was their purpose in writing this book? I would also go through a study guide or readers questions as I was reading the book to help me focus on important points in the plot. It took me a long, long time to understand poetry. I used to watch actors say the lines on KZbin of a particular poem so that I understand it. And I would try to read the poem along with an actor too. English literature can be challenging, and I did read a lot of awful stuff too that did not make me feel good at the time. But I did appreciate the really good books (any of Jane Austen, George Elliot, the Brontes, etc.). Read the happy books of Thomas Hardy, not the sad ones.

Jane Austen is not a good starting point for someone who has never read classics before. Recommend her some more modern classics (from the 20th century), and then slowly switch to older books (19th century)

I won't recommend not sending this to her cause girl English is not my first language and i found it hard to understand pride and prejudice , but when I read the "the great Gatsby" It was way easier, and the books she recommended are short and understandable.
