The battle between Good and Evil is never-ending. This pointless and unquenchable clamor came to fruition mere seconds before the forbidden fruit was picked off the calamitous tree. Writers from all walks of life have taken the liberty of exemplifying this redundant storyline through the fruits of their imagination, immortalizing the endless battle. Whether this is illustrated through the townspeople and an unruly king, peasants and the aristocrats, or even a nation against omnipotent deities, the endless fight between Good and Evil is present in all aspects of literature, and life. This notion is best exemplified through Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a romantic novel set in an era characterized by an imperialistic mindset, and

During page sixty-nine of chapter 9, Victor, in response to the monster, wickedly exclaims, "Begone! I will not hear you. There can be no community between you and me; we are enemies. Begone, or let us try our strength in a fight, in which one must fall." It is here, during Victor and The Creature’s first encounter that Victor observes (in a semi-sane state) the monstrosity he has created, and it is in this first encounter that Victor ultimately realizes that the study of the natural sciences is in fact dangerous. Although in the beginning of the book Victor tells vivaciously of his passion for the sciences, it is only after he produces the Creature that he begins to realize the dangers of the natural sciences, and the dangers of the pursuit of knowledge — all personified through Shelley’s rich use of diction. In the final pages of Shelley’s first novel, Walton, an ambitious explorer introduced in the preface, comes to the conclusion that the pursuit of futile knowledge and fame is unnecessary as he clearly pens “It is past; I am returning to England.

But I will endeavour to detail these bitter circumstances to you, my dear sister; and while I am wafted towards England and towards you, I will not despond.” After Victor …show more content…
In the words of English professor Mike Hill of Roane State Community College, “Literary devices are the tools and techniques of language that authors use to convey meaning. Skilled use of literary devices brings richness and clarity to a text. The devices we’ve chose apply to both fiction and non-fiction, to ultimately inform, persuade, and entertain our [a writer’s] audience…” According to the vexatiously extensive essay written by so professor, literary devices or techniques define and characterize an essay — literary devices prove to unleash a portal that unleashes and unbridles the overall message or theme of any written text, literary devices are key and provide the basis for literature, all the while building on the structure for the written work. According to Kathleen Lietzeu of the University of Richmond, “Literary devices refer to specific aspects of literature, in the sense of its universal function as an art form which expresses ideas through language which we [the audience] can recognize, identify, interpret and/or analyze. Literary devices collectively compromise the art form’s components; the means by which authors
