In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, she uses much of these same elements to portray different meaning and moral in her work. She uses symbolism such as lightning or fire to show the deep passion and complex traits of the characters in her work. Lighting can be used as a spark of insanity for victor and his family and fire is Victor’s passion to pursue the idea of creating new life and seeing beyond. Irony is also used because When robert Walton goes out to see he also wants to explore and discover the unknown like Victor only when he created his monster, it led to disastrous results. In a smaller example when Victor destroys the second creation, it’s ironic how the first creature takes revenge by killing Elizabeth like he said he would. Irony and symbolism are subtly used in Frankenstein by displaying the complex morals shown, such as the idea that forbidden knowledge isn’t meant to be known. ]]> 2018-04-24 13:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/1s7qkj36fw47/wish/254798977
