Frankenstein Patterns by Anna Williams https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o Anna Williams en-us 2017-11-21 20:56:11 UTC 2017-12-04 21:05:40 UTC hello@padlet.com "No word, no expression could body forth the kind of relation in which she stood to me-my more than sister, since till death she was to be mine only" (Shelley 21). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210144089 This shows how Victor gets obsessed with his new sister Elizabeth, and he talks about how he felt he had to protect and love his sister, and he continues to talk about how much he admired Elizabeth and how close they were. ]]> 2017-11-26 14:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210144089 "After days and nights of incredible labour and fatigue, I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life; nay, more, I became myself capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless manner" (Shelley 37). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210144711 This is an example of discovery because he has been studying about life and what it is for a while, and after a lot of hard work he finally figures it out and makes sense of it. He also discovers how to use what he learned in different ways. ]]> 2017-11-26 14:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210144711 "I, who had ever been surrounded by amiable companions, continually engaged in endeavouring to bestow mutual pleasure-I was now alone" (Shelley 30). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210147228 This quote is after Victor goes away to college, leaving behind all of his friends and family. He will be going to a place where he doesn't really know anyone, and Victor has kind of kept to himself over the past few years, only having a small group of friends. I don't think he will make very many at his college, because I think knowledge will be more important to him. ]]> 2017-11-26 15:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210147228 "While my companion contemplated with a serious and satisfied spirit the magnificent appearances of things, I delighted in investigating their causes. The world to me was a secret I was dying to divine" (Shelley 22). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210149098 This shows ambition because while other kids like Elizabeth would simply just admire beauty, Victor worked to find out why something was beautiful. He would research it and he always tried to figure out what he wanted to know and worked hard to do so, which shows ambition.]]> 2017-11-26 15:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/210149098 "In my joy I thrust my hand into the live embers, but quickly drew it out again with a cry of pain" (Shelley 85) awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211624755  This is just one of several examples on him discovering what things are and if they can or can not hurt him. He's also learning abut pain and emotions and dealing with them. ]]> 2017-11-29 20:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211624755 "The gentle manners and beauty of the cottagers greatly endeared them to me; when they were unhappy, I felt depressed; when they rejoiced, I sympathized in their joys" (Shelley 93) awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211625799 This shows that the monster is beginning to get obsessed with the DeLanceys, and is kind of mimicking their emotions and is studying them and getting very attached. ]]> 2017-11-29 20:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211625799 "I am alone and miserable; man as myself would not deny herself to me, My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create" (Shelley 123) awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211627624 The monster is asking Victor to create a female version of him, so he would have someone who understands his pain. This shows how desperate he is for acceptance and a friend. He would spend the rest of his life, which we have no idea how long his lifespan is, in seclusion with someone who looks as horrid as he is just to have a friend. Having a friend won't take away the pain both monsters would feel at man's rejection, so he's desperate enough to subject someone else to that feeling of loneliness. ]]> 2017-11-29 20:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211627624 "She hesitated some time, but at length she formed her determination" (Shelley 107) awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211629854 Safia shows ambition when she is supposed to follow her dad to Turkey, but she hates that idea. She doesn't want to live like she would have to if she went back there. So she learned the whereabouts of Felix, and took her translator with her to find him. She wanted more than what she would get if she went back to Turkey, so she took matters into her own hands and defied her father to find Felix. This shows she's a little head strong. ]]> 2017-11-29 20:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/211629854 "'I swear, he cried, 'by the sun, and by the blue sky of heaven, and by the fire of love that burns my heart, that if you grant my prayer, while they exist you shall never behold me again" (Shelley 127). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212053237 This shows how lonely the monster is. He is willing to spend the rest of his life in horrible conditions where he will never see civilization just to have a friend. While he has not been treated nicely, it is still saying a lot. He'd spend all of his time in the middle of nowhere and give up any potential just to have one person he can be himself with, and that shows how desperate and lonely he feels. ]]> 2017-11-30 19:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212053237 "But even human sympathies were not enough to satisfy his eager mind" (Shelley, 135). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212060538 This quote proves that Henry is adventurous and always wants more. Henry is talking about the beauty of nature, and Victor is talking about how the world seemed to small for Henry, and how it wasn't fair how things worked out in the end. Henry must die if Victor is talking about him like this. ]]> 2017-11-30 20:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212060538 "I felt as if I had committed some great crime, the consciousness of which haunted me" (Shelly 141). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212066343 This shows that Victor is paranoid and obsessed with the though of the monster. He knows that he and his close friends and family are being watched by the creature and he's worried that he put off making a new monster for too long, and it scared to leave his friend alone. He keeps on thinking about the monster killing them, and obsesses over the idea (in a bad way) and grows really paranoid. ]]> 2017-11-30 20:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212066343 "But now I went into it in cold blood, and my heart often sickened at the work of my hands" (Shelley 143). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212069224 This is Victor realizing that his discover isn't as great as he had hoped it would be. He had already been let down with how his first monster turned out, and now he has to make another one. He's discovering all of these things about, not just science, but how he feels towards certain things and that sometimes just because you can doesn't mean you should. ]]> 2017-11-30 20:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212069224 "How all this will terminate, I know not, but I had rather die than return shamefully, my purpose unfulfilled" (Shelley 191). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212607674 Watson thinks this after his shipmates ask him to turn back home if they ever get out of the ice in the North, and Watson tries to understand them. His discovery is so important to him, it's all he wants (other than a friend) and he hates the thought of turning back, but would he risk the lives of all his crew? ]]> 2017-12-03 15:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212607674 "Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone" (Shelley 196). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212614376 The monster says this after Victor dies, and he is talking about his feelings. How the events of his life, from being constantly turned away by man, to murdering Victor's family, have taken their toll on him and how he now feels the grief and how he must die and has nothing left to do, and how things would've been different if someone had just understood him. ]]> 2017-12-03 16:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212614376 "I knew that I was preparing myself for a deadly torture, but I was the slave, not the master, of an impulse which I detested yet could not disobey" (Shelley 195). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212615548 Here, Frankenstein is saying how even though it hurt him to kill all of Frankenstein's friends and family, the demon couldn't deal with the idea of Victor having a happy life while the monster had to live a lonely and depressing life. So, he became obsessed with Victor's life and wouldn't stop until he ruined it and couldn't stop thinking about it. ]]> 2017-12-03 16:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212615548 "But this was not the time for delay; I disencumbered the dogs of their dead companion, gave them a plentiful portion of food, and after an hour's rest, and yet which was bitterly irksome to me, I continued my route" (Shelley 185). awilliams568 https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212619670 Victor is still telling Watson his story at this point, about how he has chased his monster to the North and was nearly dead because of the conditions he was in, but he didn't stop because he felt like he had to kill off his creation, and nothing could slow him down, no matter how bad his health was. ]]> 2017-12-03 17:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/awilliams568/oo3jp63u3j1o/wish/212619670
