Frankenstein Chapters 1-9 : A Modern Prometheus...

How is Victor Frankenstein a modern Prometheus?

Maybe think about:

What causes Victor Frankenstein to embark on his isolated, unnatural pursuit?
What does it mean to be a creator and what are the responsibilities that are inherent in creating?
How does Victor Frankenstein ultimately differ from Prometheus?
What is the significance of each man’s punishment?

Faust- the final blog!

So, you've finished Faust (Part One)- write about what you'd like! What was interesting? What's the point? Connections with other texts?

Faust Blog pages 100-151

For this section I would like you to go deep into your analysis and personal response. Think about how conflicts and characterization are developed, motifs that are repeated, connections with other texts, and Romantic Elements.

There are many small sections within these pages. These include:

Auerbach's Cellar in Leipzig
Witch's Kitchen
A Street
Evening
A Walk
Neighbor's House
A Street
In Martha's Garden
A Summer House
Forest and Cavern
Margareta's Room

When you log on to do your blog response, I'd like you to take the NEXT section. For example, if the previous post is about "A Walk" do yours on "Neighbor's House." Please write the name of the section at the top of your response. Then, in the response, dig into your section. What's important? What's interesting? Include a few quotes...

Finally, in a separate comment, I'd also like you to respond to, build off of, argue against (whatever) one (or more) of your peers' original responses.

Please remember to sign your name after each comment! You should have a total of two postings!
