Frankenstein letters 1-4
1. What elements of Gothic Fiction were present in these letters?
2. What did you learn about explorers through Walton’s letters?
3. Though it may be a dying artform, letter-writing remains an important skill, and can be a very rewarding and cathartic experience. A letter allows you to explain something at length. A letter is also a good way to share and reflect on your experiences with people you know well. Following Walton’s example in the novel, compose a letter to a friend or relative. In your letter, describe one or more recent personal experiences in detail and reflect on the meaning of those experiences.
