Frankenstein

Frankenstein was a very intriguing novel. The monster himself in some case can be very relatable. Throughout the novel the monster experiences an overall sadness that can be broken down into smaller “sub-emotions.” A few of the feelings that he experiences are depression and loneliness.

This quote characterizes Miss Emma, is shows Miss Emma's dedication to the well-being of Jefferson and her determination to his education before he is killed. 3.) This quotation indicates the conflict that Miss Emma is having with Mr.Henri about talking to the sheriff on her behalf and the conflict that she is having with coming to terms with Jefferson dying as "a hog." Chapter 4 "I need to go someplace where I can feel I'm living." - page 29  1.) This quotation relates to the desire to escape and displacement. Grant basically wants to leave behind the life that he is living now hence the theme, desire to escape.
