Wuthering Heights:
Master Linton marries Catherine because Heathcliff forces him too; Does he have a choice in the matter? Heathcliff keeps Catherine and Nelly trapped in the house, never letting them leave. How could someone treat the people he cares about trapped in a place that even he can't enjoy. Hearton, a force a nature who was raised by Heathcliff who enforces all the bad habits of the child.
Wuthering Heights, is it great art? I believe it is, to create something out of the imagination and let the characters 'take' over the story. The writer/creator has control over what they write to certain aspect, but there is a point where the writer becomes so immersed in the writing/creation that it just takes over.
Frankenstein:
Walton, an explorer who is looking for a path to the North Pole that will make him extremely rich.
What happens to Walton and the crew and how does Victor intervene?
---The ship becomes stuck in the ice and they see the monster (Victor) and invite him on board. Victor decides to tell him his story. He shares his story because he wanted to teach Walton and the crew a lesson.Victor wanted greatness, like Walton, he is telling his story to change Walton's mind about being famous.
Published in two editions: (finished writing in 1816) 1819 and 1831- different authors? There are significant changes in the editions. Percy Bysshe Shelly- a great poet- husband of Mary Shelly; "some" believe that he wrote Frankenstein. Great poet- sucks at novel writing.
