Review the excerpt from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and answer the question that follows:
As the night advanced, a fierce wind arose from the woods and quickly dispersed the clouds that had loitered in the heavens; the blast
tore along like a mighty avalanche and produced a kind of insanity in my spirits that burst all bounds of reason and reflection. I lighted
the dry branch of a tree and danced with fury around the devoted cottage, my eyes still fixed on the western horizon, the edge of which the
mood nearly touched. A part of its orb was at length hid, and I waved my brand; it sank and with a a loud scream I fired the straw, and heath
and bushes, which I had collected. The wind fanned the fire and the cottage was quickly enveloped by the flames, which clung to it and
licked it with their forked and destroying tongues.
