“Someone let me out! I’m locked in the library!” She screamed repeatedly at the top of her lungs and banged her fist on the heavy, wooden door until she couldn’t any longer.

A twisting staircase reached it’s way up to the ceiling revealing yet another hole in the vast vaulting of the roof. The wind hissing through the air sent chills down her spine, reminding her of a malevolent spirit waiting for its next victim to saunter into its deathtrap. She heard cult-like songs and the slow but heavy stepping sounded like a thousand or more feet. In the heat of the moment, she ran up the staircase that moments ago had suddenly just appeared. Twenty figures dressed in blood red cloaks walked to the center of the room to the stairs. She tried to hold back a scream when the cloaked figures start to fold their hoods back as a ghoulish, mole-faced creature emerged. She felt the slimy arms wrap around her. She felt short, cold breaths hit the back of her neck, and the hairs on her neck stood up like prickly cacti in a hot desert. There was only silence - cold, dark …show more content…

“You are one of us now. Please, trust me and take my hand. Now, beautiful woman, slow your breathing. I will not hurt you. We will fly away together, and you will be my queen. Now, to Batman’s cave!” he said as he smirked to the sound of his theme music blaring in the

    In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley tells the story of two monsters, one with a boundless ambition that causes both to suffer the consequences. Through diction, figurative language, and juxtaposed imagery, the character of Victor Frankenstein is established as an eager, studious man with a god-complex who desires to defy the laws of nature. Frankenstein’s “breathless eagerness” (26-27) and “unremitting ardor” pushed him to become the real monster on the inside (18). The specific diction throughout the story highlights the growth of his hubris and god-complex. When life and death are the “ideal bounds” that he wishes to “first break through,” it is seen how much he wants to control life just like a god.…

    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.
