Question

In any novel, authors use different literary elements to accomplish various things, and this is no different in Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. Please choose one of the following elements to analyze in Frankenstein: setting, point of view, form, or imagery.

Once you have chosen a literary element, create a thesis (an arguable idea) about that literary element and how it helps Shelley achieve a certain goal in her novel.

Answer 1

You could select "point of view" since by telling an important part of the story through Frankenstein's Monster's eyes, you get to see the pain and struggle that he went through and the evil within human nature, which was an incredibly important aspect of Gothic literature. Perhaps you could elaborate on that.

I hope this helped!
