Setting
Mr. White says setting is a combination of locale, historical period, season, or hour and spiritual ethnic and cultural background.
Frankenstein is set in the 18th century during a very morbid time when people were talking about bringing back dead people and utilizing lightning. It starts with Robert travelling by ship to the north pole but when he begins to tell Victor's story the setting changes. Victor travels from Geneva to the Alps, to Ingolstadt and through forests with little cabins, then moves on the United Kingdom before heading to the north pole himself. |
