Frankenstein Assignment #3

Chapter 6
- From whom does Victor receive a letter?  What does it say?

- Who is Justine?

- Who are Ernest and Willie?

- Where is the creature during this chapter?

Chapter 7
- Who was murdered?  Who is the suspect, and why?

 When Victor arrives back home, he says he foresaw something about himself.  What was it?

- What does Victor consider the storm to be?  Whom does he see during the storm?  What does he realize as a result?

- How long has it been since Victor created the creature?

Chapter 8
- Why doesn’t Victor tell the truth?  Do you agree with his decision?

- Why does the accused murderer confess?  What is the “murderer’s” fate?

Chapter 9
- Where does the Frankenstein family go?

- Describe Victor’s experience in the mountains.  From a literary standpoint, why is it significant that this experience happens out in nature, not in “civilization”?  (Consider the literary movement represented by this novel and the time period during which it was written.)

Chapter 10
- How does Victor greet his creature?  Why did the creature expect such treatment?

- What does the creature think Victor owes him?  Why?  Do you agree or disagree?

- At this point, the narrative switches “frames” for several chapters. Explain what I mean by that.  Can you tell, just by leafing through the next several chapters, when the frame switches back?
