1.The mood established in the first chapter is tense. The author was successful in accomplishing this by “fooling” the reader into thinking that the opening events of the story were real when actually he was describing a play. “ For a moment there was only the shushing of the breeze over the glacial lake- then applause burst forth.” (Oppel, 4) By misleading the reader at the beginning, describing the action scenes of fighting the monster and then the death of Victor’s brother, the reader is drawn in right away wanting to continue to read more of the novel. 2. Elizabeth is the distant relative of the Frankenstein household. When the death of her mother occurred at her early ages she was abandoned by her father due to starting a new family.
