EWRT1A30: Reading Response 8

Reading Response 8
Keeping in mind what you have read of Frankenstein so far, respond to one of the prompts below.
  • What are the effects of education as depicted in this novel? Does education liberate characters or ruin them? Consider Frankenstein, Clerval, and Walton (you don’t have to discuss all three, I’m just suggesting examples).
  • Do you find Victor Frankenstein to be a responsible person? In answering this, don’t refer only to Victor’s relationship to his creation.
  • How is nature depicted so far in the novel? What is its effect on the characters? Please refer to specific scenes.
  • Look at the fate of Justine. How is she treated before William’s murder? How is she treated afterward? What does this contrast tell you about the society in the novel?
