FRANKENBLOG 2014
Here are some questions/themes that I find intriguing, but, as always, you are welcome to write about a theme that interests you more. Use two or more quotes as you write about how this theme is developing in the novel. (You only have to choose/write about ONE, so be thorough.)
- What is the tone of this gothic novel? How does Mary Shelley create her tone? (Choose quotes past page one.)
- What drives Walton and Frankenstein? Is their drive a common one? Is it healthy?
- What does this novel tell us about science/technology/invention?
- Does Shelley seem to think influences humans more, nature or nurture?
- How does the natural world affect us? How does nature react to Frankenstein's work?
- Discuss Shelley's use of biblical allusion.
Frankenblog II pages 71-120 due Monday, April 28
Choose a different theme than the one you chose for your first blog post. Summarize (1-2 sentences) how that theme was characterized in the first section of reading. Then go on to show how this theme is developing in this further section of the book.
