| “Both Jack London and Mary Shelley make superb use of the literary element of setting in their respective works. London’s, “To Build a Fire”, is set in the vast, white, frozen expanse of the Klondike, while Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, is set on snowy white glaciers, windswept Scottish coastlines, and Arctic wastelands. How do these authors use setting to reveal the interior qualities and values on their main characters? How do the settings symbolically represent who and what London’s protagonist and Shelley’s Victor Frankenstein are? Be sure to analyze each author’s use of setting in detail, drawing carefully chosen examples from the texts and analyzing them. Also be sure, in the last part of your essay, to compare/contrast the two authors’ manipulation of setting and speculate on what It may reflect about their own attitude towards these characters. Do they approve or disapprove of them? Draw some conclusions”
This is the exact assignment from my professor. Hopefully the writer who is given this assignment is familiar with both pieces of literature. If it has any effect on the manner in which you formulate the essay, I am a very strong writer. Thank you! |
