2. Check books and annotations
3. Review vocab words
4. Review denotation and connotation
From last class:
- Chpt. 5: Close reading of passage on pp. 58-59 beginning with "How can I describe". Review connotation (an idea or feeling that a word invokes in a person in addition to its literal/primary meaning) and denotation (the literal/primary meaning of a word, in contrast to the feelings or ideas that the word suggests).
- Step 1: read passage out lout.
- Step 2: read silently and circle/underline all words with negative connotations/denotations.
- Big question: What kind of tone is Shelley trying to create around the the Creature's creation and creator?
Discussion questions
1. Who is at fault for William's death? Is anyone other than the murderer responsible for what happened?
2. In chapter 7, what statement suggests that Victor views the creature as part of himself?
3. In what ways does Victor's guilt affect his health? What is Shelley's purpose in this recurring plot device?
