Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a pleasant book that has many different perspectives and can be seen as a confusing novel. She uses imagery- visuals for the reader to imagine, theme- the story behind her writing, and tone; to express her attitude through her writing; for the reader to better understand.
The author reveals her angry attitude against Victor in a quote. “I had turned loose into the world a depraved wretch whose delight was in carnage and misery, had he not murdered my brother?” (Shelley 63) In this quote Mary sounds as if she is angry with Victor and wants him to be seen as guilty for what he has done.

Or the flash of lightning was so bright it exposed the monster’s shape, and lit up frankenstein’s face. Since the author uses sight imagery the reader can better picture and imagine when Victor saw Frankenstein and how it caught him off guard. However, after Victor’s monster appears, it vanishes and he becomes shook with fear. The thought of the monster killing William crept across Victor’s mind causing him misery. When this began Victor became even more persuaded with what took place (Murder of william and others etc). “No sooner did that idea cross my imagination then I became convinced of its truth; my teeth chattered” (Shelly 63). The author begins to use sound imagery when saying “my teeth chattered”. While saying this the reader may picture a worried victor- so distraught; he’s grinding his teeth. The reader may also imagine a concerned Victor- by using “chattered” the reader may think
