Today's 'short' session considered Shelley's Frankenstein. Discussion considered the significance of the alternative title THE MODERN PROMETHEUS and the metaphorical significance of location.
HOMEWORK: Read WALTON'S letters and consider the following issues:
- The significance of references to TROTAM.
- How Shelley presents Victor.
- Walton's personality...is he a sympathetic character?
- Location as symbol.
- The nature of the language used by Shelley.
- How Shelley attempts to create a sense of dramatic expectation.
LOTS TO DO.
