This learning resource focuses on analyzing the rhetorical strategies and psychological contrasts in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," particularly in Chapter 17 and Chapter 18. Students will examine the negotiation between Victor Frankenstein and the Creature, analyzing the use of logos vs. pathos, the moral ambiguity of Victor's choices, and the effects of the Romantic landscape on character psychology. Through activities that include textual analysis, comparisons of characters like Victor and Henry Clerval, and the implications of modern film adaptations, students will deepen their understanding of Enlightenment philosophy, the social contract, and its representations in literature and film.
