Frankenstein Homework due Monday 4-27-09
You will need to research Gothic Novels and Romantic novels (elements of each) to fully answer the questions. All work must be cited in MLA format and in text citations used to detail the book (COW not BULL).
In well developed essays, answer each of the following:
1. In classical and neoclassical doctrine, the "greatest of all contests" was the struggle of reason to control passion. In the nineteenth century, passion began to rise in esteem against reason. Feelings were more important. Yet the contest seems to continue. What elements of that struggle do you find in the novel? The characters of Victor and the monster are especially relevant to look at.
2. Is Frankenstein a Gothic novel? Why or why not? What elements of the Gothic does it contain? Metonymy of gloom? Tyrannical male? Others?
Your answers MUST be typed, double spaced, using 12 point Times New Roman font
