Main Conflict Victor Frankenstein vs. Frankenstein the Monster
Resolution Frankenstein the monster feels so guilty about his creaters death and the death of his loved ones, he commits suacide.
Theme You must be careful about what you create or become
Title: The title only tells me the name of the monster and his creator. It is true, but it's not really a lot to infer what this book is about. If I had to rename it, I would call it A Monster and His Creator: The Battle to the Death.
Symbol: The book flashes back Prometheus, a greek god who gave the knowledge of fire to humans. He was severly punished for it. Instead of fire, Victor creates Monster Frankenstein and is severly punished by having all his loved ones killed.
New Words:
“Perserving (Pg. 21)”
“Annihilation (Pg.56)”
“Palpitation (pg.73)”
“Countenance (Pg. 136)”
“Abode (Pg.205)”
Figurative Language:
“But these philosophers, whos hands seem only made to dabble in dirt, and their eyes to pour over
