7. Task 1
While you are watching the short sequence where Frankenstein is brought alive, make a note of how the following are used :
The emotions of Victor (How they change)
The setting
The atmosphere and mood created

8. Looking at what all his hard work has created – quite proud of himself
Pathetic fallacy – Straight away setting dark atmosphere
It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
We can see just how important this is to Victor that it is effecting him physically
Sees no immorality in what he is doing at this point
Pathetic fallacy – giving the idea that something bad is going to happen in the future
Extremely derogatory to the creature he has spent so much time on –showing what he is like as a person.
First references to the creature alive and they are very negative

9. Opening sequence
POINT
EVIDENCE
EXPLAIN
As soon as Chapter 5 begins there is a negative atmosphere created
Pathetic fallacy is used from the very first line here. Shelley gives a dismal, bleak atmosphere from the outset; giving the reader the idea that something negative is going to happen in the future.
Victor Frankenstein appears to be quite proud of what he has created
We get the impression that Frankenstein wasn’t the perfect creation Victor would have wanted

10. Now use PEE to write an extended piece of writing on the opening sequence.
