Troubleshooting Comment Posting

If people are having troubles posting to mine or any blog, try downloading the Mozilla Firefox internet browser. It helped me when Internet Explorer funked out on me. Also, while I am posting a troubleshooting post, try using livejournal.com to post if anyone is having trouble with using Google Account when posting comments. I would recommend doing this first before using Mozilla because the issue may be with Google and not the internet browser. If one does not work, try the other and use process of elimination to try to figure out the variable that is creating the bug in either trying to create posts or comments. I hoped that this post will help all the new bloggers like myself.

Frankenstein Literary Analysis

The novel tells the story of poor Victor Frankenstein who is very fascinated with the nature of the world. He studies the works of alchemists and philosophers as a child and later goes to college to study chemistry. It is while he is deep in his studies that he discovers how to create life from inanimate matter. Inspired by this epiphany, he begins work on creating a structure to imbue life into. This structure as it turns out is a man of disproportionate size and strength; the height of a giant, the intelligence of man, and the hardiness of the toughest creature on Earth. When the creature becomes alive, Victor is disgusted by the very sight of him and flees his laboratory, leaving the creature isolated and truly alone. Seasons pass and the monster is consumed by his isolation and anguish and starts to kill off all of Victor’s loved ones after Victor betrays him after promising to make another like him so he may not be alone. Victor is lead to his death by grief and the monster marches to the northern frozen wastes to destroy the life that was irresponsibly given to him and to silence the suffering and loneliness he endured forever after.

The themes of the novel are to be careful and meticulous when exploring untested areas especially in the scientific region, and that even a beautifully kind and compassionate person can becomes a true monster when only faced with hatred and whose only companion is their isolation in life.

The author’s tone could be said to be sad or regretful for the characters. There are very few positively charged words such as joy, glee, or happiness used in the dialogue of the characters and the description of the scenes taking place around them. These excerpts from the book exemplify my point.

Ch. 1. 1^st line: “You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you regarded with such evil forebodings.”

Ch. 5. Verse referring to Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner between paragraphs 7&8 “Like one who, on a lonely road, Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round, walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.”

Ch. 8. 1^st line: “We passed a few sad hours until eleven o’ clock, when the trial was to commence.”

I honestly do not have a clue what to put in this section.
