Notes on Chapter Three- Frankenstein, Close Analysis Chapter Three details Victor Frankensteins memory of leaving Geneva, aged seventeen, to study at Ingolstadt University. His departure is delayed as his beloved Elizabeth suffers from Scarlet Fever and his mother cares for her, falling ill herself, with twice the bout Elizabeth had. Caroline Frankenstein (Victors mother) sadly dies and throws the family into melancholy. //Don't fall into the trap of retelling or describing what is happening. Instead pull the passage apart to tell the reader why things are happening and how the events, setting, symbols and images impact on the characters and the reader. // Once all have recovered, Victor farewells his family and friends and leaves on a depressing journey to University. His new professor at Ingolstadt, M. Kempe, questions Victors knowledge of science and philosophy, and is lectured harshly, once it is realised that the studies Victor had done throughout his childhood, were of no use to him, being centuries out of date. He is recommended to see another professor, M. Waldman; the chemistry lecturer. M. Waldmans teachings were more appealing to Victor, and the two struck up a friendship. At this point, Victors perspective towards life, science and learning begins to change. //** Explain why you've reached the conclusions you have. Provide examples from the text to illustrate this. **//  The chapter is riddled with strong and intelligent words such as menaced, zeal, imprudence, wretched, benignity and melancholy, allowing the reader to understand the language of the 1700s. // ** Expand with specifics. ** // The words used by Victor and Walton are that of educated men, with little to no vernacular terms.

Chapter Three marks the beginning of Victors new lease on his own creativity and science, he speaks with inspiration but there is also a feeling of something big on the horizon. //Why do you think this? It's important to justify the conclusions you draw. Point to specific images, language and symbols.   COMPARISON HOMEWORK- 23-2-2009 // || The film || - Isn't a lot of emotion shown with the words used other than wretched and melancholy and that doesn't express much. - Justine was given a fair trial in the novel although she was stolen from prison and hanged by the townspeople. || - Completely unrealistic and more gruesome - Scenes like Williams birth and misplacements/added scenes draws the film away from the original Frankenstein and change the meaning of the story. - Events like Victor taking Lizzie, Justine and William to the mountains during the storm did not occur and change Victors motivation as did the death of his mother during childbirth, which didn't happen in the novel, Caroline died from the scarlet fever she caught from Elizabeth. - The weather is focused upon a lot more in the film, usually stormy and cold. || Homework 11/3/2009 [|lit study.doc]
 * The novel
 * - More focused on Victor Frankensteins journey towards the creation of Wretchy and the effects it caused.

Values and Beliefs h/w- due 30/3/09 1. I accept people valuing religions and beliefs, because we all have the right to believe in something, even if that means believing in nothing. 2. Five values: loyalty, honesty, trust, respect and freedom. 3. - 4. I can't stand it when people behave like they have a higher ranking than everyone else, just because they have the latest 'awesome thing', or they have more money than others, really stupid immature things like that. Keeping up with the latest fashions or music trends? Not important to me. I'm happier wearing the clothes I feel comfortable in and can afford without worrying, and listening to the music from generations earlier or from the lesser known genres because I genuinely like it. Also, a typical annoyance- stereotypes. It's not something I can stop, but I'd encourage the judgmental people to pull their heads out from the clouds and look past what people are wearing or listening to, and actually have a conversation with them.

1. I believe that Buddha existed, his teachings are valuable lessons and Buddhism is not a religion, more a pathway for life. I believe we could be influenced by our genetic makeup, but our surroundings and experiences help form us into the people we become and what we believe in. 2. -
