LITERARY WORK
–> 3 moments in the whole work where this GI is seen
Beginning Chapter 4 & 5 | During the creation of the monster, Frankenstein lost touch with everyone and did not pay much attention to his health. Immediately following the creation of the monster, Frankenstein sees his friend Clerval and falls ill. |
Middle Chapter 18 & 19 | Frankenstein creating the companion female monster was a very intense experience in which he isolated himself. Frankenstein travelled and researched before starting this project and put a lot of thought into making the female companion and ultimately did not go through with it as he recognized the negative consequences of the advancement in science himself. |
Middle/End Chapter 21 | Frankenstein gets accused of Clerval’s death and is put into jail where he is very ill. |
Throughout the novel | The creation of the monster leads to a cycle of illness for people other than Frankenstein (such as his father) and many deaths (Justine, Clerval, Elizabeth). |
