Frankenstein Reading and Questions

Please read to page 201.

Here are two questions we worked on in class:

  • A motif is an element (incident, device, formula) that recurs frequently in a particular work.  Identify several motifs from Frankenstein.  How are they significant?
  • Symbolism is using objects or events to represent both themselves and things beyond themselves.  Identify some examples of symbolism in Frankenstein.  How do they contribute to the meaning of the book as a whole?
