    As he is created by man, the appearance of the monster is unlike any other. The creation of the monster from bones and artificial parts lends itself to being representative of the working class (Benford 181). This confirms that the working class is a man made creation and Sandra Benford states that the artificial parts lead to the monster being mechanically inclined. Part of the reason the monster is unnatural is his physical perfection, not only is the monster stronger, faster, and more resilient the humans, he has the intelligence to rival man (Shelley 31). This seemingly physical perfection of the monster is akin to a machine, it is simply too powerful and reliable in its strength to be human.…

    In this First Page of a Novel, I tried to use both direct and indirect characterization to kind of introduce the readers to the situation and kind of an idea of the main characters.

I also attempted to show them that the narrator wasn’t the only character of importance but that she probably stumbled into the lives of the other characters. I attempted…

    Many of the professional literary critiques that emerged following the publishing of Frankenstein were less than positive in their evaluations of its quality and value. Some of these critics devalued it based on its failure to present a positive message to readers while others criticized inconsistencies within the story. One article that criticized both aspects of this novel was The Literary Panorama and National Register’s “Review of Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus.” This paper was well known in this era and considered a credible source of information regarding literature. Despite offering superficial compliments, the author attempts to prove that this work of fiction is a disappointment considering the school from which it proceeds.…
