Homework: March 6

Honors English 12 (G)

• Read chapters 9 and 10.
• There will be a reading quiz on the book, Letter 1 through chapter 10. In order to be prepared, you should make sure you've carefully read and annotated the story. There will be passages to identify, as you did in class today. Here is an example written by one of your classmates, slightly modified from its original form.
• Quotation A: Victor is the one who is speaking, when he goes to the spot where William was killed and sees the creation again. He is talking about the creation, and the events that happened until he reached his home in Geneva. This passage is important because for a long time Victor could not avoid thinking about the creature, to the point where it drove him insane. He then completely blocked out all of the events and refused to think about his responsibility and the things that he has caused, all because of that one night. This shows his fear and regret that have been the motifs of the story which he tells. It shows that he is so horrified that he wasn't even able to think about the creature for two whole years. I find it very strange that he said "departure" because Frankenstein did not give the creature any other choice.
