Allusions, Character Types, Setting

Allusions  A figure of speech that makes a reference to, or representation of, a place, event, literary work, myth, or work of art, either directly or by implication  Throughout Frankenstein, Shelley will allude to (mention) different works of literature or events occurring during her time that are significant because they reflect the character’s current thoughts, feelings, and or problems.  Frankenstein was originally titled The Modern Prometheus, so look for connections throughout your reading. This is one major allusion throughout the entire book!

Character Types  Round Characters: characters that are fully developed and multi-dimensional  Flat Characters: characters that are based solely on one trait or characteristic  Dynamic Characters: characters that develop through the course of the story  Static Characters: characters that DO NOT develop through the course of the story  Foil: a character who is the opposite of another character used to shed light upon each other  Catalyst: a character (or event) that starts a chain of events.  While reading, pay attention to the characters and assess what type(s) each of them is.

Moral Ambiguity  Frankenstein essay question (write if you wish): Morally ambiguous characters-characters whose behavior discourages readers from identifying them as purely evil or purely good- are the heart of many works of literature. For Frankenstein, choose a morally ambiguous character who plays a pivotal role. Then, write an essay in which you explain how the character can be viewed as morally ambiguous and why his or her moral ambiguity is significant to the meaning of the work as a whole. ** The best essays will include gothic and romantic characteristics in the novel, foil, character types, and/or allusion. Work what makes sense into your argument.

Setting  Pay close attention to the setting while reading. The setting indicates the mood of the scene.  Example: The bleak setting is a perfect backdrop, displaying the remorse the doctor feels for creating the monster. It foreshadows the dark tone of the story.

Place and Time  Set in the 1700’s  Various parts of Europe, especially Switzerland and Germany, and the Arctic  The characters are captivated by their surroundings and the beauty of nature. I want you to experience what the characters in this novel experienced. Look closely at the following slide show of Europe…
