Read the passage from "by the waters of babylon.” then i saw the dead god. he was sitting in his chair, by the window, in a room i had not entered before and, for the first moment, i thought that he was alive. then i saw the skin on the back of his hand—it was like dry leather. the room was shut, hot and dry—no doubt that had kept him as he was. at first i was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. he was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. his age was neither young nor old—i could not tell his age. but there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. you could see that he would have not run away. he had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. but it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. i knew, that, if i touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face. what do readers learn about the narrator based on his reaction to the conflict? the narrator thinks that the gods are weak for having died like humans. the narrator feels a greater fear than before, now that he has seen a dead god. the narrator would have run away if he had been in the place of the god. the narrator has learned to respect the gods, even in death, rather than fear them.

Read the excerpt from chapter 18 in frankenstein. alas! to me the idea of an immediate union with my elizabeth was one of horror and dismay. i was bound by a solemn promise which i had not yet fulfilled and dared not break, or if i did, what manifold miseries might not impend over me and my devoted family! could i enter into a festival with this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground? i must perform my engagement and let the monster depart with his mate before i allowed myself to enjoy the delight of a union from which i expected peace. examine this excerpt to analyze the way the author’s choice of words adds to the meaning and impacts the tone of this portion of frankenstein. what does victor mean when he talks about “this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground”? how do these words affect the tone at this point in the story? use examples and evidence from the text to support your analysis. frankenstein chapter 18
