For this 800–1,000 word analytical essay, you will
research and discuss the ways that Frankenstein fits
within one of the following genres:
Science fiction
Gothic fiction
Tragedy
First, you will find two (2) scholarly sources that describe your
chosen literary genre in detail. As you read Frankenstein, you
will keep track of how the novel fits into that genre.
Your final essay will
contain an introduction, a conclusion, and 3–5 main points.
Each main point will do the following:
Introduce a key element of the genre using one of
your scholarly sources
Give several examples (summary, paraphrase, or
direct quotation) from Frankenstein that
show aspects of that element
Remember,
these elements can be anything from plot to themes to literary style. For
example, one classic element of Gothic fiction is
the inclusion of supernatural experiences: does Frankenstein have
this element? One element of a tragedy is the
pride of the hero: does Frankenstein include
this element?
