        <description><![CDATA[There are several:
Body snatching or grave robbing--that one should be obvious.
Gothic Counterfeit--many gothic works present themselves as recoveries/presentations of some older texts.  Shelley doesn't exactly do this, but she does separate herself from the work by beginning it with a series of letters and with Victor telling his story on the ship.
Dreaming/Nightmares--after re-animating the corpse, Victor falls into an exhausted sleep.  He...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The first two supporting events--Victor's decision to make the monster and not clearing Justine's name--work well for Victor's lack of responsibility.  A third example, that might be better than not making the female monster, is Victor's seeming disregard for Elizabeth's safety until it is too late.  Here are some suggestions for each of your points.
1. Victor's decision to make the monster and then doing nothing to take care of him...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[He feels very stunned and feel "out of the world" as he had created a monster with life with his bare hands which people deemed impossible. Somebody had to bring him out of the fantasy into the grim reality that he had created a creature, a real monster. His mind feels very unbalanced as he ponders over his motives and feelings of creating this monster and to what cost, so with the attention from the monster, he will accept this reality check...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At the end of Chapter 8, after Justine's execution, Victor's despair leads him to lament his father's and Elizabeth's grief over Justine's death.  She died as a murderess, but Victor admits (only to himself) that he is the murderer and that just as his father and Elizabeth have wept for Justine, they will soon weep when they discover what his hands have wrought.  Victor cries,

"Ye weep, unhappy ones; but these are not your last tears!"...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The first paragraph of Chapter 5 describes Victor "switching on" the monster. Although not the lightning storm night as depicted in the movies, Shelley makes generous use of adjectives and adverbs to describe the dark mood of the laboratory surroundings -- "dreary night in November," "rain pattered dismally against the panes" are but 2 examples.  Her description of the creature itself serves to enhance the sense of dread  "...by the glimmer...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[After Justine's execution, Victor is overwhelmed with grief.  He knows that he has caused not only Justine's death but also William's because he created the Monster.  In true Romantic fashion, Shelley sends Victor into nature to be comforted.  He travels alone to the village of Chamounix near Mont Blanc.  While there, he decides to ascend Montanvert which features a magnificent glacier.  As he beholds the majesty of the glacier, he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[How exactly are you supposed to comment on the quote? By what it means? The language used here can be taken as a sign of things to come (Elizabeth's eventual death due to Victor's creature) or Victor obsessing with death and the passing of his mother. The entire dream could be seen as Victor having a vision of the future and the horror that his Creature unleashes. There is also a possible Freudian interpretation about Elizabeth becoming...]]></description>
