Examine the way the author writes, considering word choice, point of view, structure, particular techniques (i.e., symbolism).I really liked the way Shelley told the story from different points of view. She made the story whole by telling what Victor thought and what the creature thought. I also liked the way she didnt just dive right into the central story, but laid out an outer frame. Shelley tries to m ake an easily read story by telling it from all angles and makes it a little different with the story inside of the story.4. Was this an easy work to read? Why or wherefore not?I believe it was easily read. There was no overly difficult language. If you did have to pause in the middle of the story it was easily picked up again without rereading sections a couple times.
