How has Frankenstein been depicted in artwork and film over the years? How do these depictions relate to Shelley’s original work? (American Horror Story fans might recognize a familiar storyline from The Coven season)
Your essay should answer the question completing and use cited references to the novel for support. For this essay, you are required to use at least two outside sources in addition to the primary text (Frankenstein). Your essay should include a thorough investigation of the topic as well as evidence from Shelley’s novel to support a relation to the text. Your response should demonstrate that you have read the novel in its entirety (not just the first chapter).
Remember that you do not have to address these prompts in the order they are given. You must decide the organization of your essay and should consider how you might interweave these discussions.
As part of your essay, you may provide a brief summary of Frankenstein (no more than ½ a page in length – imagine that your reader is already familiar with the work). Be sure to refer specifically to the novel and cite specific passages from it (this means you must specifically cite lines/pages/passages from the work).
Always discuss quoted material. Tell your reader what the quoted passages mean to you and explain how they support your argument. You should aim to have no less than five citations from each work, if not more.
You are required to use at least two outside sources (in addition to the primary texts) for this paper. Introduce scholars being referenced and be sure to cite both paraphrased and directly quoted material. Again, discuss any quoted material explaining what it means to you and how it supports your own ideas/analysis.
Research should come from scholarly sources such as published books and journal articles in the library databases. No websites may be used unless I have approved the source in advance. Reference materials (dictionaries, encyclopedias, Wikipediaes) are not college-level sources and should be avoided. I am here to assist you if you cannot locate appropriate sources. Please note that ALL papers in this course require academic research and writing. A paper submission that does not contain research cannot earn a grade higher than a D.
