4. Without How?
Walton • The reader wouldn’t know what happened to the monster
in the end
•The reader wouldn’t get the background info that Walton
supplies for the story in his letters in the beginning
•The reader wouldnt know how Walton is similar to the
Creature
“I desire the company of a man who could sympathize with
me; whose eyes would reply to mine. You may deem me
romantic, my dear sister, but I bitterly feel the want of a
friend” (page 4)
This quotation shows us that Walton was just like the
monster. He just wanted a friend.
•The reader wouldn’t get the other point of veiw on the
creature and frankenstein
5. Without How?
Victor Frankenstein • Instead of getting frightened when the monster is chasing
Victor the reader would only feel the adrenaline of the monster
• Less point of views on the creatures behaviour
•We wouldn’t know how the creature was created , the story
would start from his creation.
The Creature •The reader would think that the creature truly is just a
unintelligent ugly monster
•We wouldn’t know that all the monster wanted was
companionship and how sad and lonely the monster really is
I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me; but
one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny
herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and
have the same defects. This being you must create. — the
Monster
This quote shows us how lonely and unloved the creature feels
because he is not accepted in the world he was created in.
