Provide evidence from the text and analyze its purpose. en-us 2018-10-04 17:41:36 UTC 2026-01-07 04:44:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/170696164/60502af2283f21936734df451afe3a47/1064534_MYFYIRTP_7.jpg https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290702622 To emphasize the point and get it across. A example would be during chapter 17 when Frankenstein is trying to convince the doctor to build another monster like him. He keeps saying he will not harm other humans if he has a partner like him over and over again trying to persuade the doctor to build one. ]]> 2018-10-09 12:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290702622 Shelly uses the element of repetition in Frankenstein to foreground her point. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290702932 2018-10-09 12:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290702932 Mary Shelly uses repetition to show character development throughout the story. At first, Dr. Frankenstein wants to create the monster for the sake of gaining unimaginable knowledge. When he goes back to create another monster, He is disgusted and miserable. This contrast allows the theme that not all knowledge you to become more clear. Repetition and reinforcement helps Mary Shelley emphasizes what is important and meaningful to the characters development. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290703828 2018-10-09 13:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290703828 Shelley uses the element of repetition in Chapter 17-19. When the creature begs for Frankenstein over and over to create him an companion. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290704311 2018-10-09 13:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290704311 Shelley used the power of repetition to highlight main points of the story or paragraph, or to emphasize https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290704426 2018-10-09 13:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290704426 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290704705 In chapters 17-19 of Frankenstein, Mary Shelly uses repetition to show the importance of a subject. The Monster uses repetition when he wants a mate. He is trying to persuade Dr. Frankenstein that he needs a lady to keep him company and he is very persistent with showing how lonely he is without one.]]> 2018-10-09 13:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290704705 In Frankenstein, Shelly uses repetition to create a clearer more memorable idea. In chapter 17 the creature is once again begging Frankenstein to create him a companion. The repetition of this request throughout the book expresses the importance a friend is to the creature. The more he repeats this request to Frankenstein the more likely it may be for him to follow through and please his creature. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290705050 2018-10-09 13:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290705050 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290706549 Mary Shelley uses repetition in Frankenstein to express the importance of reasoning. An example would be in Chapter 17 when the monster repeatedly asks for a mate; a female monster. He asks in a repetitive manner to show how important it is for him to have a love (light) in a dark world.]]> 2018-10-09 13:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290706549 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290707915 The author uses repetition to emphasize her point."hasten, then, my dear friend, to return, that I may again feel myself somewhat at home, which I cannot do in your absence.”]]> 2018-10-09 13:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290707915 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290709080 Shelly uses repetition in the text to stress that if something has happened before it can always happen again, good or bad. In chapter 17, the monster is trying to convince Frankenstein to make another monster because he feels as if Frankenstein owes him this much. The creature knows that Frankenstein has the power to recreate another creature, and he wants that to happen. Frankenstein has the power to repeat the process of making another monster, and contemplates whether or not making he wants to make one. ]]> 2018-10-09 13:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290709080 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710098 Shelley uses repetition to greater explain her points and show what she is trying to say.  Like how the monster wants Frankenstein to create a female version of him and Frankenstein keeps denying him until he finally agrees to do it to appease the monster. The monster reapteatly tells Frankenstein what he wants and finally gets what he wants by nagging him.

In chapter 18, Clerval uses repetition to show the beauty of the Rhine river: ““I have seen,” he said, “the most beautiful scenes of my own country; I have visited the lakes of Lucerne and Uri, where the snowy mountains descend almost perpendicularly to the water, casting black and impenetrable shades, which would cause a gloomy and mournful appearance were it not for the most verdant islands that relieve the eye by their gay appearance; I have seen this lake agitated by a tempest, when the wind tore up whirlwinds of water and gave you an idea of what the water-spout must be on the great ocean”. Clerval uses the examples of other places to show that he believes the Rhine is the most beautiful scene in nature. The purpose of this is to show Clerval’s romantic nature and further him as a foil to the miserable Frankenstein. The dynamic between the two then furthers an argument that Clerval’s romantic optimism is greater than Frankenstein’s miserable rationalism.

]]> 2018-10-09 13:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710364 Shelley uses the element of repetition as persuasion. An example of this is when the monster is trying to persuade Dr. Frankenstein to make him a girl monster to cure his loneliness. He is persistent, telling reasons why he should do this for him. He even bribes Dr. Frankenstein, promising that he will not hurt any more people. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710381 2018-10-09 13:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710381 Shelly uses repetition in chapters 17-19 in Frankenstein to show the importance of the subject going on or to get her point known. In chapter 17 she uses repetition to with the monster when he wants a mate. She uses it here to persuade Dr. Frankenstein and to get the point across that the monster is lonely and wants a mate. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710403 2018-10-09 13:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710403 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710776 Shelley uses repetition to make each chapter understandable]]> 2018-10-09 13:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290710776 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290711389 2018-10-09 13:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290711389 Shelley uses repetition to demonstrate the importance learning from your mistakes. Shelley uses the element of repetition through Victor agreeing to make another creature as a mate for the Original Creature. Through repeating this action, Victor is forced to question why he created the original creature and agreed to create another. Throughout his process, it further confirms everything he did by creating the Original Creature was wrong and unnatural. Shelley also uses repetition through Victor by showing that he ran away, again, to create the mate creature for the Original. While, Victor does not voluntarily want to create another creature, he wants to finally rid himself of the Creature he originally created. Once again, he sees that isolating himself is the best option, when in reality, it is not. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290712788 2018-10-09 13:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290712788 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290712885 Shelly uses repetition in chapter 17 to help the reader understand the passage is important.

She repeats “How can you, who long for the love and sympathy of man, persevere in this exile?” Which emphasizes how can you just leave someone out that just wants love and sympathy. She also says “leave me in darkness.” The quote before says that one would rather be by themselves, in the dark, than just trying to find love. This emphasizes the true emotion.]]> 2018-10-09 13:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290713927 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290718427 2018-10-09 13:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290718427 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290718754 Shelley uses repetition with companionship to highlight the important notions during this time. In Chapter 17, the monster longs for another creature of the opposite sex, saying it is “malicious because it is miserable.” In Chapter 18, Victor’s father tells him that although he is more pleasant than before, Victor still seems “unhappy” and that this could be fixed through “an immediate solemnization of marriage.” Both Victor and the monster are unhappy, and it suggests that this sadness can be fixed through companionship. This was a concept that was seen throughout this time of history, when people were strongly encouraged to find a partner.]]> 2018-10-09 13:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290718754 Shelley uses the element of repetition to show the determination of the monster and his want for a companion. In chapter 17, the monster repeatedly uses the phrase, “I will” to emphasize that he is worthy of a companion who is as himself. Shelley’s repetition of this phrase shows the reader that the monster is doing his best to get what he wants and that he will not give up. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290718837 2018-10-09 13:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290718837 In chapters 17-19 of Frankenstein Shelley uses anaphora to emphasize how important the topic is. Also to make her comment stick and take place in the brain of the audience. For example, the repeated cycle of creation, constantly proves that Frankenstein does not want to learn his lesson that the monster should have never been created. However, the doctor to creating a partner for Frankenstein’s original monster could be twice as bad as having one lonely monster roaming the town. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290720106 2018-10-09 13:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290720106 Repetition is used to express how much the monster desires a companion. “If you consent, neither you nor any other human being shall ever see us again..My companion will be of the same nature as myself and will be content with the same fare...The picture I present to you is peaceful and human, and you must feel that you could deny it only in the wantonness of power and cruelty.” “I swear to you, by the earth which I inhabit, and by you that made me, that with the companion you bestow, I will quit the neighbourhood of man and dwell, as it may chance, in the most savage of places.” “The love of another will destroy the cause of my crimes, and I shall become a thing of whose existence everyone will be ignorant.” (chapter 17.) Frankenstein repeats in many different ways that if his creator makes him a companion, he can promise that he will not harm nature. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290722696 2018-10-09 13:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290722696 Mary Shelley uses repetition to depict the creature's complete fixation upon one subject. Shelley writes the creature as repeatedly pleading with Frankenstein for a female counterpart for him to share his life with since he has concluded that no human could ever love him. His reiteration of this idea every time Frankenstein refuses him illustrates just how much the creature has obsessed over this idea and thought of every possible reason he could give Frankenstein to persuade him to do his bidding in spite of how much more damage these actions could cause. https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290724010 2018-10-09 13:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290724010 https://padlet.com/emily_garrison/2wffpowm3kc0/wish/290765541 Mary Shelley uses repetition to show how important a specific piece of text or sentence is. An example is in chapter 17, the monster is trying to persuade Victor to create another monster like him except in a female form. The monster keeps repeating that he won’t hurt 🤬 anyone anymore if Victor creates him a spouse. The point of the creature repeating himself is to show that the monster is alone and he wants someone like him.
