Shelley didn’t respond, for she wasn’t a heavy drinker herself, but she’s had this strong urge as of late to do something new, different, and exciting. When she was in the plane by herself, she kept thinking that she wanted to do something, anything, without Richard knowing of it, and it got to the point that she almost got aroused by the thought. And it wasn’t that their relationship was stale or on the decline. No, they had been reasonably happy and faithful to each other, but as temptation rears its ugly head, as it often does, the devil’s voice whispers into one’s ear, giving unjustified permission to do something horrendous and regrettable. And the remarkable thing about tonight, as the rain was now pouring, unapologetically, something
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.

Months later is when he finds the ship that is stuck in the ice and climbs aboard on a the brink of death. We are now back to present time with Victor just finishing telling his story and Walton writing letters.
People often turn to destructive coping mechanisms when they feel powerless and alienated. Victor’s journey to Arizona has greater significance than him just retrieving his father’s ashes; symbolically, he is on a journey to discover himself. As Victor and Thomas leave their
Victor doesn’t like Krempe because he doesn’t like the subject he teaches and that he said that Victor wasted his time in his studies when Krempe asked Victor if he “really spent your time in studying such nonsense?” The only action by Krempe that helps Victor is moving him in Waldman’s direction. Victor likes Waldman more since he treats him better and told him that alchemy is essentially not as helpful as real science which was to Victor’s liking. Ingolstadt is a medical and scientific university that caught Victor’s eye as it allowed him to perform experiments during his time there. The effect of the setting is to open Victor’s mind and improve and enlarge his confidence which later leads to a mistake on his part.
As he is created, all he feels is hunger, thirst and cold. After Victor runs away, terrified of the monster, the monster wonders towards a cottage. He looks into the cottage, eavesdropping on the people within it. As he watches, he wants to be just like them. After watching the individuals in the cottage, he starts to feel worthless.
Victor was a sheltered child with a very pleasant and jubilant upbringing. Even exclaiming that “no human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself” (Shelley

1. Victor’s problem when he created Frankenstein, a monster made of human parts. Victor's problem is after he created Frankenstein he sees it as a monstrosity. Frankenstein horrors victor. His creation horrors him so much he takes to the streets instead of his home.
After this passage, Victor then moves to exclaim that he would be alright if “Wandering spirits” would “take me...away from the joys of life.” By connecting the daunting and rainy landscape to the feelings of elation and awe that envelop Victor, the reader can interpret that, unlike the beginning of the novel where Victor is accustomed to the sunny bliss of Geneva, he is instead much more at ease within the dark yet powerful landscapes of the mountains. Using the darkness of the rainy day, Shelley helps to paint a picture of the melancholy that begins to take hold of Victor’s

Throughout the novel, Victor does not have a healthy method of dealing with the negative scenarios that life throws at him. He does not deal with his problems directly, rather he runs away from them literally and figuratively. As a child Victor was sheltered from loss and his surroundings, which restrained his character from establishing a true coping mechanism for dealing with his problems, he is left to manage these happenings using the only form of survival that he knows-running away. For the duration of the novel, Victor runs away in a literal sense, to escape his quandaries.
Victor is trying to express how he can put the past behind him and go on with the present. He feels calm, happy, and hopeful at this point. “Of what strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind when it has once seized on it like a like a lichen on the rock” (101). This conveys how powerful nature can affect a person like when overcoming a sense of pain or death.
