I always enjoy my Friday night when I am chilling in my room with some beers and movies. Especially disaster or thriller movie, I found that I really get relaxed after traveled through those heartquake dramas. I appreciate Hollywood for offering so much thrilling adventure. One reason that I am so attracted by movies is they made those movies so real that I can’t help believe that I was there in person. Not only the technology is an advance but also character’s acting contributed to delivering the emotion of the certain occasion.

Mary Shelley did very well in building characters and portraying the feeling of her characters’. In first few paragraphs chapter V, Shelley successfully created an atmosphere by describing the emotion of the main character, Victor Frankenstein. At the start of this chapter, Frankenstein had his “dream” finally came true after long struggles and conflict on both his body and mind. It is obviously too much for Frankenstein to face the “monster” he created. At the moment, there were multiple feelings combined all together and busted at the same time that he was not able to take them all. And finally realized his dream of creating life was vanished only vain and regret left.

Mary Shelley took the advantage of using the first person in her book which helped a lot to deliver characters’ emotion. At the very first of the book, Shelley made Frankenstein as a storyteller so the plot can be very subjective but make sense. At the second paragraph of chapter V, Shelley wrote “His limbs were in proportion and I selected his features as beautiful.  Beautiful! —Great God!”. Notably, Mary Shelley captained three letters “Beautiful! —Great God!”. I have no idea whether it was Shelley’s initial intention or revised by editor later, but it did present Frankenstein exclamation. He was shocked by the completeness of his work and pretty pride of it. Then Mary Shelley used a long paragraph to describe Frankenstein’s mental active. She not only piling up emotion words but also described character’s physical active like “rushed out of the room” “threw myself on the bed in my clothes” which gave readers image. Especially “bed in my clothes”, it presented how messed Frankenstein condition was. I think it is great to do so. The novel is different from movies and music, readers have to picture the plot themselves which is not very direct and immediate. Physical actives would help readers to trace what character’s doing like the painter of a renaissance would use shadow and light to give portray life. Also, there are lots evidence showed that Shelley was fond of using details. Thanks to those details, readers are able to gather information indirectly. At the same paragraph, Shelley wrote: “a cold dew covered my forehead”. This line tells how nervous Frankenstein was by using an indirect way. And this is why we love to read—- there are rooms for us to picture.
