Students examined the creature's narrative. The significance of the De Lacey family and how Shelley uses the family to explore/express key ideas was a focus of class discussion along with the dramatic significance of chapter 15. The lesson concluded with a consideration of the question:
' Why does Shelley offer a sympathetic reading of the creature immediately before the murder of Victor's little brother?'
Should the reader feel sympathy for a child killer? Author's aim? Thematic significance?
Homework: READ THE NOVEL. We will be discussing ch16/21 in the next session.
