Fear can be conveyed in the novel Frankenstein which can be seen in the opening paragraph of chapter 5. The opening paragraph describes the setting as "sad" and Victor's feelings and emotions are shown through the use of words such as 'anxiety', 'agony' and 'agitated'. When the reader begins reading chapter 5, he immediately gets the feeling that what will happen in the chapter is scary. On a cold November night, his scientific dream comes true. He brings his creation to life. Upon opening the creature's dull yellow eye, Victor feels violently ill, as if he has witnessed a great catastrophe. Fear can be conveyed in the novel Frankenstein in chapter 5, when Victor's scientific obsession ends with the birth of the monster. "How can I describe my emotions in the face of this catastrophe, or how can I outline the wretch that with such infinite pain and care I had tried to form?" This might suggest that Victor is questioning his readers about his “emotions”; should he be happy or shocked that he created life? It could also suggest that Victor is surprised that a monster built from dead parts looks hideous. Later in the story, Victor is mentally and physically affected by a nervous breakdown. This could be reflected in his unnatural goals in which he attempts to take on the role of God. His death at the end of the novel could also be a way in which God punishes him. During the 1980s Victor could be identified as Satan as he eventually turns against his Creator and declares war on him and all people. It might help that the monster's hideous appearance could be due to Victor knowing he was committing a sin as people in the 1980s believed it was wrong to mess with nature. In the novel Frankenstein, fear could be felt through the words...... middle of paper ......n in both min and aspect. Victor is a selfish, soulless man who is demonized and ultimately punished for his blasphemous creation with which he sought to overthrow the religious beliefs of others.

Beautiful! -- Great God” This increases the tension and suspense the reader feels. The reader is only allowed to know what Victor thinks and feels, so he doesn't know if what is happening is right or wrong.
