In what way does the author structure the following excerpt to show the impact of Henry's assistance:
"But I was in reality very ill;
and surely nothing but the
unbounded and unremitting attentions of my friend could
have restored me to life. The form of the monster on whom
I bestowed existence was forever before my eyes, and I
raved incessantly concerning him. Doubtless my words
surprised Henry; he at first believed them to be the
wanderings of my disturbed imagination; but the
pertinacity with which I continually recurred to the same
subject, persuaded him that my disorder indeed owed its
origin to some uncommon and terrible event."
By using imagery to invite the reader into the scene.
By using setting, specifically the sick room, to keep the mood
bleak and hopeless.
By paralleling the monster's creation with Frankenstein's ever
deteriorating health
O By using diction like, "unbounded" and "unremitting," the
author shows the limitless committment Henry has to
Frankenstein
