Report cask of amontillado
Montresor lures his acquaintance Fortunato to his vault under the guise of sharing a rare cask of amontillado wine. He leads Fortunato deeper into the vaults, where he chains and walls up Fortunato as revenge for some past insult.

Frame narrative in Frankenstein
This document discusses the frame narrative technique used in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It examines the complex narration through multiple narrators - Captain Walton, Victor Frankenstein, and the monster. The story is told through a series of letters, narratives, and flashbacks seen through different character perspectives. This creates a story within a story structure and builds suspense for the reader to understand the events that led Victor to his current state. The frame narrative is a key literary technique that Shelley employs in her famous novel.
Webshareeg
Form is an important element to comment on in exam essays. There are three main forms discussed - short story, novel, and play. For the novel Frankenstein, the epistolary and frame narrative forms impact the reading experience and create meaning. The epistolary form using letters allows private access to characters' thoughts, while the frame narrative provides different perspectives that influence how the characters and themes are interpreted. Describing nature also reinforces Shelley's views on the supremacy of nature over science.

monstrum horrendum informe ingens cui lumen ademptum
(Virgil, Aeneid, 3:658)
{199} Viewing woman's body in a phallic field of vision predominates in the nineteenth-century
realist tradition, but there are examples of attempts to subvert this model and move beyond its
epistemological implications to other kinds of knowing of the body. I shall argue in the next
chapter that George Eliot provides the best instance of dissent from within the dominant
tradition -- a dissent that Freud, attempting to supplant seeing by listening to the body, may also
be struggling toward. The present chapter returns to an earlier example of the dissenting
perspective, by another woman novelist, written before the realist novel has established its
hegemony -- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Hence I propose here to violate chronology, and to
interrupt the general trend of my argument, to look closely at a text which is too complex,
peculiar, and interesting to be neglected.
Frankenstein, first published in 1818, concerns an exotic body with a difference, a distinct
perversion from the tradition of desirable objects. The story of this ugly, larger-than-life,
monstrous body raises complex questions of motherhood, fatherhood, gender, and narrative.
The afterlife of the novel in the popular imagination has been intensely focused on that
monstrous body, to the extent that the name "Frankenstein" tends to evoke not the unfortunate
overreaching young scientist Victor Frankenstein but his hideous creation. This is both faithful

Walton resumes.1 The nested narrative structure calls attention to the presence of a listener for
each speaker -- of a narratee for each narrator -- and to the interlocutionary relations thus
