In Frankenstein, do you think the frame story format (the story inside the story) is helpful or distracting? Explain your answer.

Explanation:

Victor’s thinking leads him to believe life is nothing more than a collection of body parts plus energy. When he proves himself right by creating Frankenstein, it scared him. But why does the end result of Victor’s creating Frankenstein scare him so much? After all, he’s been trying over and over again, pursuing it (ignoring family and friends in the process) for years?

Now that hes has his creation, Frankenstein is beyond control. He is not human, nor is he dead. He is not learned nor can he be taught. The monster wants love and affection, but is so horrifying to look at everyone is scared.

So the story in the story (to me)

If something is to be, it will be. Such a complex creation should not be left to the human man. Life is so more than just energy and a few body parts. It's a learned life over time. It's being nurtured, loved and guided on how to live and be a productive part of a society.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
