Frankenstein Analysis

Frankenstein

The first thing that struck me about the book is that the protagonist Frankenstein is recounting the events that took place,'...........' this can therefore make him appear to be an unreliable narrator. Throughout the novel we see how his pre knowledge clouds the way he describes things. ' I could no longer surpress the rage that burned within me'. This could be how the protagonist was feeling at the time or it may be how he now feels looking back. I am not sure wether I believe the novel to be cleverly written as a recount painting an enticing story or whether the suspense is lost and the substance of the character due to the novel being retold.
To further this even as a reader I don't view the monster as anything that Frankenstein describes 'wretched deamon', even at the end which indeed we know the tale was written with the aim of revenge in mind posing the question was frankensteins hatred and descriptions due to the pain of his loss.

indeed when Frankenstein has lost everything I believe it highlights the similarity between himself and the monster and puts in human terms the isolation that the monster felt. Even towards the end of the book when they are crossing the ice i believe it states a moral that you often want things to be fine yourself and don't see the other person who is also alone on the ice.

The unobvious  contrast that was made between the scenery and the monster '.........' highlights the power of god and creation as apposed to the mess that man makes and the significant difference in beauty between the two.

A gothic theme that reaccurs is presented through the setting either being something good like the 'moon' with a weight of darkness or something good being corrupted by something evil'
this pathetic fallacy mirrors the mood or a indication of what bad is going to happen.

In addition for some of the longest time periods the shortest amount is written so six years is covered in less than a couple of pages, this of which is when Frankenstein is in England studying. This highlights the unimportance of his study or the bore to it in comparison to events like the monster telling his journey which covers over 3 chapters.

The way in which Frankenstein retells his novel is very clever in the way that it is fitting with his character  '..........................' by making a statement then thinking about the logics to come up with arguments highlights his scientific phillosophical nature, ultimatley leading the audience to begin to understand him as he analyses pieces of statements himself wwhich leads on to his creation, which comes as no great shock to the audience.
