Why The Words You Say Matter.

Mary Shelley is a master because of  her use of diction in the book Frankenstein. In the chapter assigned we can see her use diction to explain a pervasive atmosphere of horror. For example “with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony” this shows how he both excited to see his work become fulfilled but will actually end up hating him. We can also see from the later writing in the chapter that he did not have the emotions to explain such a monstrosity which was before him . “I desired with an ardour that far exceeded moderation”.This shows that he was spent way too much time with the monster, he was not going to leave something that he worked so hard on. In conclusion Mary writes to show the true feeling behind what truly happens and to show us what they tried to hide.

In this passage by Mary Shelley, the use of imagery is very apparent. However, the kind of imagery portrays a very dark and unfortunate tone. The first example of this can be seen in the very first sentence which states, “It was on a dreary night of November…”. The month November may be thought of as a cold unpleasant night. The adding of the word “dreary”, creates an even darker, colder, night. Another dark and unfortunate word would be how victor describes the creatures eye as “dull”. These examples are used to make the passage seem very dark.

In this passage Mary Shelley created imagery starting with “It was a dreary night of November”. She makes this passage dark and kinda depressed. “It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs”. This was a horror and scary because she seen the creature.

Diction Paragraph

30 March 2017

In this passage Mary Shelley employs a eerie imagery because of some words she uses to explain a dark and frightening feeling to the story. Throughout the passage it goes from being dark and gloomy, to how beautiful and amazing this creature is. Shelley goes on to imply that the creatures “dull yellow eyes” and how beautiful his yellow skin covers his muscles and arteries. Some other eerie imagery she implies is “it's a dreary night of November”. That makes the setting of this passage dark and gives it an upsetting feeling. As this passage goes on the creator is upset about creating this monster because he can't take care of it and is scared about the damage it can do to others.

In the second paragraph Shelly speaks on life. She states “The different accidents of life are not changeable as the feelings of human nature”, Which adds a rather Human normality to the story it's saying that all of the events that go on in your life shape who you become and what the final outcome is in your life. She talks about if you work hard for something for a long time and you fulfill the dream its like you have nothing to strive for anymore. So say you start your career at a workplace and you get promoted to the highest level and your dream of becoming the boss is what you have been striving for decades, you have no motivation or drive to continue and your retire shortly after. So in some ways Shelly is saying we should always continue dreaming at all points in our life so we have something to strive for.

In Mary Shelley’s book, “Frankenstein” she uses dark and eerie words to create a pervasive atmosphere of horror in the passage when the creature was created by Victor and also in Victor’s dream afterward. Mary uses diction that consists of cacophonous words to describe the creature’s appearance when it was brought to life by Victor. One example is when Mary describes the creature to have a “shrivelled complexion” and “black lips”. A description like this could cause people to have stomach pain and also uneasy feeling because it makes people think of a decomposing corpse. Another example would be when Victor had his nightmare of Elizabeth. Shelley uses “livid” and “hue of death” to describe what was happening to Elizabeth in Victor’s dream. The words “livid” and “hue of death” do relate to each other in colors because they are the colors of death. These colors consist of a darkish blue, purple, and gray. Of course, it's impossible for this to happen instantly in real life but when it's in a dream anything can happen. When Mary wrote “Frankenstein” she was extremely careful of what words she using and also seemed to plan these words in advance to create an atmosphere that provided a true sense of horror. But Shelley did not just stop there, not only she scared Victor in the psychical world she also pursued Victor into his dream world and continued to show him what true horror was.

Despite the monster being made from perfect features, when put together they make a twisted creature.  By incorporating these descriptions of the atmosphere and the creature itself, we are able to see how terrifying the creature actually is.

Words such as “disgust”, “miserable”, “agony”, “horrid”, and “disturbed” relay an eerie, troublesome tone shown when Frankenstein refers to the creature and how he feels about him. Further along in the story, she uses words such as “vain”, “pain”, “demoniacal”, and “shrivelled”; in which they depict a displeasing, and harmful connotation throughout the narrative.This is shown primarily when he is confronted by the creature and explains, with very detailed imagery, what vibe he receives from him. All of these words are an addition to the creepy, uneasy feeling already put into effect by the setting.

Mary Shelley writes her story of “Frankenstein” using four letters in the beginning to address how R. Walton had gotten to the south pole and met Victor Frankenstein. She then goes on to have Victor tell his story of reassembling life to try and sway Walton away from continuing his journey to the pole. The author’s use of eerie diction portrays a very dismal world and helps the reader more fully grasp the concept that there is no hope for the adventurous in this story. In this frame narrative, the redundant addition of Victor droning on about how he is scared and hopeless almost forces the reader to feel spooked and nervous. Shelley’s word choice also makes her story seem to have a more realist hold on the audience.

A prominence of her use of diction to scare the reader is very noticeable in chapter 5. She uses words like “tumult”, “disgust”, and “demonical” to help describe Victor’s sudden change of emotion and how he is scared and confused. This gives the some relatability for the audience to be further brought into the spooky mood.
