Lesson outcome

I can explain how Shelley crafts an unsettling atmosphere on the night of the birth of the Creature.

Show transcript
On a dreary night in November, Frankenstein brings his creation to life. He despises his creation because it is hideous and ugly; he shuns the Creature and runs away from it. Shelley uses pathetic fallacy and setting to create an ominous atmosphere. Shelley cleverly builds tension in the lead up to the reveal of Frankenstein’s monster.
