60. Themes Love Marriage Human dissatisfaction Motherhood Lack of Self Control Curiosity Obsession Tragedy Failure

61. Human Dissatisfaction Throughout chapters 1 – 3, Victor Frankenstein deals with inner human dissatisfaction in many different ways. When he first read about science, it wasn’t enough to hear their sources, he had to go out and find ways how their sources could be differed from his. When the lightning hit the tree and shattered it, his parents told him that it was simply electricity that caused the tree to rip in shreds. Victor had to find a more logical reason to this electricity and why it happens.

62. Human Dissatisfaction (CONT) Everything he deals with has to be expressed dramatically and give an even more logical explanation than it already has. This wrongful thinking leads him into the main topic of the whole book which would be the creation of the creature. Because of his human dissatisfaction which he cannot control, he has to face with his failure at creating the perfect experiment.

63. Characterization Victor Frankenstein- The main character which is a selfish and arrogant man that thinks and acts without knowing the consequences. Elizabeth Lavenza Frankenstein – Victors cousin which is adopted by his mother in his childhood years. She is the girl Victors mother wants him to marry.

65. Critiques » Harold Bloom An excerpt from a study of Frankenstein ---------------------------------------- This critique talks about Mary over exaggerating the meaning of Gothic Novel with Frankenstein. It express scenes to obsessional pursuit but it doesn’t carry the emotions usually expressed in gothic literature. George V Griffith An overview of Frankenstein This critique talks about the way that Mary Shelley made the book more dramatic than it really needed. It lacked defiant ambition and desire.

66. Critiques Alan Bewell An Issue of Monstrous Desire Frankenstein and Obstetrics The critique talks about the unusual attention Shelley gives to the process of introducing the main character and his creation of the creature. It’s almost as if Shelley made Frankenstein too predictable for readers in the introduction of the book. Mary K. Patterson Thornburg Frankenstein: Overview This critique talks about how Mary Shelley didn’t express enough the romantic ideal that is trying to expressed in the novel. She claims it didn’t carry through to it’s original template to be a Gothic Novel.

67. Critiques Samuel Holmes Vasbinder “ Mary Shelley and the Critical Tradition” This critique talks about the lack of imagination Mary Shelley has in Frankenstein. It is stating that it doesn’t contain enough creative impulse to the story. The novel has no lesson of conduct, manners and morality included which is very different than most of the writing occurring in her time.

68. Outline Thesis: Victors love for science turns into an unhealthy. He creates an inner emotion that constantly is being expressed through all of his experiments. His human dissatisfactions lead him into failure and soon the creation of a creature. Introduction –Human Dissatisfaction plays a main role “Curiosity killed the cat” Obsession is what is led from curiosity with the constant need to science knowledge. Obsession leads into tragedy which leads into the rest of the story. Curiosity –After reading Cornelius Agrippa, he begins to challenge all theories into searching another one. Goes to Ingolstadt to study science and runs into two very different professors which lead him into two directions. When the lightning hits the tree he forgets about Agrippa’s research and does his own. He experiences the need to find what others have yet to discover.

69. Outline Obsession –After wanting to find out what no one has excelled to yet, he becomes desperate. He becomes obsessed with experiments and science that he creates his own lab. Putting all his experiment before he could think about it gives him a higher risk of failure. After not being able to discover the undiscovered, he begins to become desperate and resolves to create the “perfect human”. Tragedy –When obsession to leads to the beginning of the creation to the creature. It leads him into creating the perfect human without thinking of the consequences that could occur. It ends up killing his loved ones and ruining his life It ends up being into the internal theme of failure. Conclusion –Failure is the overall theme for the three internal themes. Curiosity causes failure of failing to learn all about science. Obsession leads to failure when he is not capable of discovering anything Tragedy leads into failure when he creates the creature without thinking about it.

70. Questions Who did Victor spend his childhood with the most? What did he enjoy the most as a child? When Victor reads the book by Agrippa, he has a sudden interest in science. When he showed his father, he told him, “ My dear Victor, do not waste your time upon this; it is sad trash.” (Shelley 33). How would have the whole story changed if he had lost complete interest in science?

71. Questions On her deathbed, what is Mrs. Frankenstein final wish? Why do you think she wanted this? In what ways could Mary Shelley have made the beginning of the Frankenstein more suspenseful? Compare the attitudes between M. Krempe and M. Waldman.

Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her due to septicemia. When William remarried Mary clearly disliked her mother and failed to receive the relationship that only true mothers can offer.

76. Tragedy unfolds Mary met an adolescent, 19 year old Percy Bryce Shelly, and they were both immediately captivated by each other. When they eloped the continent Mary had a daughter (1817-1818), which later died. Soon after they left Percy began to fall for Claire, Mary’s stepsister. Soon after this Claire begins a relationship with Lord Byron, only to become pregnant.

77. Frankenstein begins While Mary, Claire, Percy and Lord Byron sat in Byron’s Villa Diodati in the middle of the night talking of horror stories, Mary Shelley created the perfect horror story of the time, Frankenstein, the beginning of a psychological horror had just unfolded. 2 years after the origins of Frankenstein came about, Mary published Frankenstein and received some great reviews. On February 1 1851, at the age of 54, Mary Shelly died of paralysis.

79. Vocabulary cont. Chapter 6 Apprehensions: Feeling of anxiety or fear that something dreadful will occur Odious: inspiring hatred or disgust Irksome: slightly annoying, especially tedious Gaiety: a lighthearted and lively feeling or way of behaving

80. Chapter 4 In this chapter Frankenstein's life revolved around “natural philosophy, and particularly chemistry (Frankenstein pg. 48).” Frankenstein becomes interested in the principle of life, almost hinting at what will happen next… He begins to study everything about the human, from life to death.

81. Chapter 4 Frankenstein spends his spare time in “charnel-houses” studying and observing the decay of man, and examining “causation.” He begins to learn how to “bestow animation on lifeless matter (50).” The writer, Frankenstein, addresses the reader by informing him/her that “you expect to be informed of the secret with which I am acquainted; that cannot be.” He hints at the inevitable doom that will befall him due to his advance in technology.

82. Chapter 4 Frankenstein questions whether or not he should use his new power. He seems to hint that he will use his power. He also mentions that the monumental task of assembling a body may take him what seems like an eternity. He begins to neglect his family just so he can keep up with work. He began to neglect even his own personal health, showing how obsessed he his to complete his creation, which is why he is always perceived as a mad scientist.

83. Chapter 5 “I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs (54).” Frankenstein has been successful in creating a living being from lifeless matter! Frankenstein displays many of the emotions that a mother would have displayed when her child was born. Frankenstein has been scarred mentally because now not only is he sleep deprived, he is constantly looking behind his shoulder for the towering 8 foot behemoth.

84. Chapter 5 While Frankenstein is running away from his own creation he bumps into Clerval, his friend. He momentarily forgets his problems with the monster he created and focuses all of his attention on his newly arrived guest, Mr.Clerval. When he invites Clerval to his room he is frightened that his monster will be behind the doors waiting for his “master.” Frankenstein is relived when he opens the door and notices that there is no one on the other side.

85. Chapter 5 He becomes very joyous, and laughs like a maniac. then Clerval notices that Frankenstein is a very ill man. He begins to have hallucinations that “ the dreaded spectre glided into the room (59).” Clerval begins to take care of Victor for many months Frankenstein until he gets better. Clerval ends this chapter by frightening Frankenstein by wishing to converse on one subject. Frankenstein believes it to be the subject of his animated creation, but he ends up giving Frankenstein a letter from Elizabeth.

86. Chapter 6 Half of this chapter is Frankenstein reading Elizabeth's letter. He finds out that everyone in his family is worried about him and his illness and would be relieved to hear just 1 word from him. Elizabeth also informs Frankenstein that Justine Moritz has moved in with them again. Frankenstein shows Clerval around the campus and to his previous professors (before his illness) -

87. Chapter 6 but Frankenstein was so traumatized by his experience that he “felt as if he had placed carefully, one by one, in my view those instruments which were to be afterwards used in putting me to a slow and cruel death (66).” These experiences with science and his professors goes to show that his illness is far more than physical, he has instilled a mental sickness in himself.

88. Analysis of Ch. 4 Frankenstein's creation has an uncanny resemblance to the human “gestation process (226)” by spending just about 9 months creating his “child”. He spent winter, spring and summer “growing” his child. Frankenstein begins to forget about his social life and is engrossed with progressing in his experiments with the human body. Although he disregards life he discovers the secret of life, and begins to construct a so- called “perfect race”.

89. Analysis of Ch.5 Probably one of the most important chapters in the book, Frankenstein completes his creation on a November night. Frankenstein responds to his “child” much like a mother would do after giving birth and while suffering from “postpartum depression (226).” Frankenstein begins to dream about his dead mother and Elizabeth, which could begin to hint that Frankenstein will eventually “take Elizabeth’s life (227)”, this also shows the madness which has befallen him due to constant work and no rest.

90. Analysis of Ch. 6 Clerval reminds Frankenstein about his disregard for his family, friends, and himself. After Clerval brings Frankenstein back to health, he hands him a letter from his beloved Elizabeth. His letter begins to hint at Frankenstein about marriage by talking about Ernest (Frankenstein's brother) as “our Ernest (62).” As Frankenstein was returned to health the monster was not mentioned any more. One could only wonder where he will appear next, and what he will do…

91. Themes »Genesis »Technology »Appearance »Neglect »Abandonment »Reject

92. Critiques 123helpme.com Society rejected the creation just because of his appearance. If people didn’t care about appearance as much as we do, Frankenstein wouldn’t have had to fear his own child. 123helpme.com When man tries to conquer life the consequences are evident in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The creation begins to threaten everyone, even Frankenstein.

93. Critiques cont. Challenging Destiny’s James Schellenberg- What should we do with our expanding scientific powers? William I. Lengeman III The book - has to do with its genesis (creation). Katie Dean mentions that the action of creating a being drastically changes the life of Frankenstein. He becomes powerless to protect himself and the ones around him from death.

94. Outline Thesis: Throughout Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the main character, Victor Frankenstein, mentions “how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge (51)”, but does the exact opposite in the narrative. I. Show why Victor Frankenstein believe this statement. A) His mental illness due to knowledge. 1)His constant frightened state due to his “son.” B) The amount of physical and mental pain caused to him by “aspiring to be greater than his nature will allow (51).” C) Knowledge caused him to be alone for a long time just so he can finish his experiments.

95. Outline II. How/why does Frankenstein change his opinion of knowledge? A) Abandons his own creation/child. B) His own intelligence causes him to lose relationship ties with his friends, family, and Elizabeth. III. Conclusion A) Although Frankenstein cared about learning, it destroyed his life and he gave up on it. B) Life and philosophies is always affected by experiences.

96. Bloom Questions Compare Victor Frankenstein to his father when is comes to science and learning. Why is Frankenstein scared of his own creation? How did Frankenstein bring his creation to life (what powered it)? What if Frankenstein didn’t reply to Elizabeth's letter? What would she think of him? Analyze how abandoning Frankensteins in the beginning of his creation led up to his murderous “ruthless killing spree”.

His family was suffering from his state of depression; they now can also relieve their mind and relax since Frankenstein is losing his tension. There is a lot of Romanticism present as nature is the only thing that seems to cheer Victor up and cause him to forget about the events that occurred in the past. It is what cheers him up the morning where he was very melancholy. Frankenstein has unbelievable amounts of hatred toward his creation. He wants no association and wants to “wreak vengeance on his head”. During the confrontation, it is the creation, not the creator, that acts more reasonably.

129. Chapter LIV #1 She wanted to have the chance to thank Darcy for paying for Lydia and Wickham’s wedding, but he never came up to her and everything went contrary to her wishes. Denisse Hernandez Why is Elizabeth frustrated when Darcy and Bingley come to dinner?

130. LIV #2: In the last sentence of the chapter, Elizabeth tells Jane to “not make me your confidante.” Why do you think Elizabeth does not want to listen to Jane’s description of her evening with Bingley?  In this chapter, Elizabeth does not wish to hear Jane’s description of her evening with Mr. Bingley because she did not have a good evening herself since she couldn’t be with Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth basically does not want to hear about her sister’s good time because she didn’t have a good time and hearing Jane’s story will only make her feel worse. Stacy Pereda

131. Chapter 56 (Sabrina Gonzalez) 1. List two ways Lady Catherine insults Elizabeth and her family.  Lady Catherine tells Elizabeth that she is part of the lower class who has no importance in the world. This states Elizabeth has no rights as a person. Lady Catherine also says that the marriage of Lydia was a business made by the expense of Elizabeth’s father and uncles. Catherine merely insults her by bringing the faults of social class of her family.

132. Pride and Prejudice Ch. LVII Question # 1  She says she would lose all hope if he did not come with Bingley as he had promised (Austen 310). She thinks that this could occur if Lady Catherine saw him on her way through town and convinced him to not marry, since Darcy seemed as if he was “wavering on what to do” (310). She believes that “the advice of a near relation might settle every doubt” that Darcy has (310). Thus, if he didn’t visit with Bingley, he regretted every wanting her for the second time. Under what circumstances does Elizabeth vow to give up all hope of Darcy repeating his proposal of marriage? Luis mourino

133. Why does Mr. Bennet want to continue his correspondence with Mr. Collins even though he considers Collins to be a ridiculous man. Mr. Bennet doesn’t want to stop the correspondence, because the letter he has just received has made him very happy. Also it says in the novel, “Much as I abominate writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins’s correspondence for any consideration. Nay, when I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving him the preference even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and hypocrisy of my son-in-law. Chapter 57 Question # 2 Jorge Ramos 6

134. LIX #1: Briefly describe the reactions of the following family members to the news of Elizabeth’s engagement to Darcy:  Mr. Bennet: As soon as he found out that Elizabeth was engaged to Darcy he became grave and anxious. When Elizabeth walked into the room, he said to her “Lizzy what are you doing? Are you out of your senses, to be accepting this man? Have not you always hated him?” His only objection is his belief in her indifference(324). Besides, this he has no other objection towards the engagement. He also says that he would never refuse Darcy because he is so powerful in both ranking and money wise. All he tells Elizabeth to do is to “let me not have the grief in seeing you unable to respect your partner in life” (324). He is happy with the engagement because he thinks they are great for each other. Stacy Pereda

135. LIX #1 continued  Mrs. Bennet: Mrs. Bennet’s reaction to Elizabeth’s engagement was a rare one. For once in the entire novel, Mrs. Bennet remained completely silent and sat still not knowing what to do or say. Afterwards, she finally finds something to say she says things like “Good gracious…how rich and how great you will be”(324). She then shows complete change in opinion of Mr. Darcy, now she basically loves the man. Stacy Pereda

136. LIX #1 continued  Jane: When Jane found out about her sister’s engagement to Mr. Darcy she said that Elizabeth was deceiving her and that it was completely impossible. Jane kept denying the whole thing and assured her that Elizabeth hated Mr. Darcy. Jane remained in amazement and asked her sister if she was sure she would be happy with him, out of worry. Stacy Pereda

137. Wrap Up #4 I think that Darcy represents pride and Elizabeth represents prejudice. The title also represents society at that time. For example, there was a lot of prejudice concerning the social classes and the interaction between the people belonging to each. The people of higher social classes were thought as if having the right to be proud because of what they owned and how rich they were. Of course, they followed through that state of mind. Denisse Hernandez Consider the novel’s title; which character best represents the aspect of pride and which the aspect of prejudice? In what way does the title also represent more than individual characters?

138. Wrap Up #6 The opening line of this novel is one of the most celebrated openings in English literature. “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” (Pg.9) What makes this opening so popular? The opening line of this novel is one of the most celebrated openings in English literature. “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” (Pg.9) What makes this opening so popular? Denisse Hernandez This opening is so popular because it makes people think about the way people regarded marriage in that time. Also, it makes you think about the nature of thought at this day and age. It kind of sums up the social dogma concerning marriage at that time. It leaves readers with either an agreeing thought or an outraged thought about the people of that society and maybe even the author.

140. Victor was constantly studying their discoveries and reading up on their work and scientific achievements and they molded his love for science. These scientists were influential in a sense because they were his down fall. He loved science too much and it undid him. They encouraged him to pursue natural philosophy (through their writings) and as a result he ended up studying in Geneva, where we all know he started “the Monster” and ended his happiness. His father also influenced him because he did not tell him why he considered Agrippa “trash” and so Victor read even more hungrily. Chapter II - # 8 How did Cornelius Agrippa and other early scientists affect young Victor? - Jessica Ordax

141. Victor makes his switch to mathematics when his professor, M. Waldman, tells him that to be a true scientist he should “apply to every branch of natural philosophy, including mathematics.” He was completely dedicated to his studies from that point on. Victor makes his switch to mathematics when his professor, M. Waldman, tells him that to be a true scientist he should “apply to every branch of natural philosophy, including mathematics.” He was completely dedicated to his studies from that point on. He compares the new science with the old science. He compares what he has just learned (Krempe) and how it is methodical and has a predictable (mathematical) outcome. He compares this to the old science (Agrippa) – the science that got him interested – the unpredictable and truly experimental science with unexpected outcomes (the Monster).

Chapter II - # 9 How does Victor view his switch to Mathematics? What does he compare it to? - Jessica Ordax

142. At the end of chapter 2 it says “Thus ended a day memorable to me: it decided my future destiny.” At the end of chapter 2 it says “Thus ended a day memorable to me: it decided my future destiny.” This is obvious foreshadowing that science and mathematics were going to dictate his life – they were going to consume him, and ultimately lead him to his doom.

Chapter II - # 10 What is foreshadowed at the end of chapter 2? - Jessica Ordax

143. The story of Victor’s mother’s death is ironic because she, the whole Frankenstein family, saved the life of Elizabeth by taking her in as a young child who had been orphaned. But then Victor’s mother, Caroline dies of scarlet fever which she got from Elizabeth, so one could say “that is how she repaid Caroline”. (Even though I know it was not on purpose). Chapter III - # 1 How is the story of Victor’s mother’s death ironic? - Jessica Ordax
