The Wasp Factory – Iain Banks
How does the author construct a voice for Frank here and elsewhere in the novel? In your answer you should consider:
- The ways in which the writers attitudes and values are conveyed to the reader
- Features of language such as lexical, grammatical and phonological aspects
- The context of the extract and the whole novel.
The author creates a voice for Frank by getting into the character he becomes Frank and therefore develops the characters weird and wonderful ways. He tries to convey him as a normal teenager a normal boy but as he goes deeper into the character and further into the novel you become aware that there isn’t anything normal about Frank.
