Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 1.  What are some major differences between movie and the novel Frankenstein ? When Victor Frankenstein meets Captain Roberts Walton, near the North Pole in the book the doctor is old, ill, weak and dying while in the film Victor is quite young, rather strong and active when he walks to the ship of the sailors. The first part of the story when Victor is a young boy, in the house in Geneva, is narrated by the writer with a detailed description of the place and narration of the facts and feelings. In the film this introductory part is nearly totally absent. In the book, the monster learns how to read and write when Felix teaches his language to an Arabian girl called Sofie by reading from a history book; in the film this girl is not present and we do not have the impression that books are an important influence on the monster. The character of Sofie is important because the De Laceys welcome her into their family, despite the differences of t

Thinking Activity on Tradition and Individual Talent 1.  How would you like to explain Eliot's concept of Tradition? Do you agree with it?                                 Yes, I'm agree with the Eliot's views. He point out the tradition as that the tradition is matter of much wider significance.

Matthew Arnold  ➢ Write about one idea of Matthew Arnold which you found interesting and relevant in our times.   Matthew Arnold was    the Victorian poet and critic, he was 'the first modern critic'   and could be called 'the critic's critic'.  Arnold sometimes became a satirist, and as a satirical critic saw things too quickly, too summarily. In spite of their charm.  Arnold makes clear his disapproval of the vagaries of some of the Romantic poets.    Matthew Arnold points out, a "disinterested endeavor to learn and propagate" the best that is known and thought in the world. And he strove hard to fulfill this aim in his critical writings.   Matthew Arnold's idea on  'disinterestedness' and 'detachment' is relevant in our present time. A critic should be impartial, when he passes the judgement on any of work. A critic should passes the judgement without any prejudice.  ➤ Write about one idea of Matthew Arnold whic
