'' I saw his dull yellow eyes of the creature open; it breathed hard and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs''
Victor ran away because the monster is so frightful and he meets Henry and goes back to the laboratory but only to find out that the monster has ran away. This impacts on the rest of the novel because e the monster kills Victor’s entire loved ones.
This chapter shows more about Frankenstein because he was a very flat character and didn't get developed by the narrator.
''Nearly two years now for the sole purpose of influencing life into an unanimated body, for this I had deprived myself off rest and health ''.
Doctor Frankenstein has now created the monster but he is scared off it.
''Unable to endure the aspect of living I had created/I reached out of the room ''.
We can also see how lonely and isolated his obsession has made him. When he finds his friend Henry he realizes about what he has done and what a terrible mistake he has made from his work.
''Nothing could equal my delight on seeing his presence my father, Elizabeth .and all these scène from my home dearest to my recollection.
Mary Shelley uses language in this essay to create atmosphere.
‘‘It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toil''.
The alliteration of 'N' this is in the opening sentence of the paragraph and this has created a gothic atmosphere because of the ''dreary night''. This is continued throughout the chapter and the language carries on, here is another quote to back it up.
''It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the pains and my candle was nearly burnt out.''
This shows that the weather often reflects on mood and the horror is created when Victor has his nightmare.
Chapter five links the key themes in the following ways, it acts as a warning that we should not go against god and become obsessed by one little idea for example in this book Victor .Neatly it is about the appearance and reality because the monster could have had a possibility to be beautiful with its luxurious black hair and his pearly white teeth ,but in reality it is far from that despite his bad nature .In addition to this the chapter highlights the theme of loneliness, obsession because Victor has cut himself off from his family and society to help him reach his dream. Then after he runs from the ''wretch'' he feels that he is isolated as he looks at the ''comforting sky ''. There is also a clear link to the dangers of his obsession ,this is obvious that Victor's obsession has lead him to his downfall and this manifests itself as a physical illness.
'' This was the commencement of a nervous fever which confined me for several months.''
In conclusion to this in depth through reading this chapter I have gained more in depth understanding of the nineteenth century prose in the following ways. This chapter is very male dominated; Dr Frankenstein is a man if the novel had been written today there isn't anything that you couldn't change to both male and female roles. However in the nineteenth century female equality did not exist although Mary Shelley was a female, and she was from a radical family and her mother (Mary Wollstonecraft) was a campaigner for women's rights. We also presume that the monster's male. This could be the author's way of criticizing apathetical society. I am also aware that nineteenth century scientists were discussing the probability of bringing the dead back to life. In addition to this people in the nineteenth century were more religious compared to now. Finally there was a higher rate of mortality in childbirth and also was higher in adult death rate.
