david05 Posté(e) le 18 octobre 2015 Signaler Posté(e) le 18 octobre 2015 Hello ! Pourriez-vous me corriger l'analyse que j'ai faite du passage de Frankenstein ? C'est la première analyse que je fais en anglais et je dois dire que c'est bien plus difficile que de résumer le passage (déjà que je ne suis pas très bon en analyse de français....) En tout cas ça serait vraiment très gentil de m'aider. Voilà ce que j'ai fait: Characters Frankenstein In this passage the character of Frankenstein is very torn by recent events. He endures sorrow of loved ones loss (perte d'êtres chers?) and is racked with guilt and remorse. He is completely overwhelmed by the situation. Nature gives him the only source of consolation and peace. We can also add that Frankenstein's feelings for the creature change during the passage. First the only thing he can feel for the monster is hate and rage. His feelings noticeably change after hearing the creature, he starts to feel pity for him. The creature In this passage the creature is first described as an horrible creature ("devil", "monster", "vile insect",... ). But then we discover creature's feeling. The creature is not simply a monster without conscience, void of any human empathy but a creature endowed with reason and feelings. If we can't approve William's murder, we can on the other hand understand emotional and physical pain caused by abandonment of his creator. That make us feeling empathy for the monster. Elisabeth Elisabeth suffers immensely from William’s and Justine’s death. But we can also say that since the tragedy, Elisabeth doesn’t see the world the same way because she had witnessed of the execution of an innocent. She is profoundly shocked by the injustice done to Justine and she can’t understand a society that kills innocents. Her faith in society is dashed, we can say that she has lose her innocent. Themes Suffering The theme of suffering is very present in this passage. Suffering’s lexical fields is important (abondant) for example: painful, despair, remorse, torture, solitude, suffer, sorrow, misery, destroyed, fears,....All characters suffer even if the reasons aren’t the same.Frankenstein, Elisabeth and Frankenstein’s father principally suffer from losing William. This suffering is sharpened by the fact that the young boy has been murdered. But Elisabeth and Frankenstein also suffer from Justine’s death because they are convinced of Justine’s innocence. (This fact reinforced their suffering.) We can also say that Frankenstein suffers from guilt of these two deaths. He is consumed by guilt. He is the creator of the monster and feels therefore responsible from William’s and Justine’s death. During this passage he also feels responsible from the loss of Elisabeth’s innocence. But another character also suffers in the passage: the creature. Frankenstein’s creation of the creature caused the creature physically and morally suffering. Physically from cold, hunger and because he was unaware of his senses. Morally from his inability to understand what was going on when he came into the world and from the fact of being abandoned by his creator. Nature In this passage we find a lot of descriptions of nature specially of mountains. Nature is presented with positive adjectives like sublime, wonderful, supreme, magnificent. The passage also shows words denoting power like "immense", "mighty", "omnipotence", "impetuous".But nature is also seen as kindly and maternal. This majestic nature comforts Victor during his expedition and the creature with her beauty at the beginning of his life (he enjoyed the beauty of the forest and birdsongs for example). (There are a few personifications "winds whispered", ...) Thank you !!!!!!

We can also add that Frankenstein's feelings for the creature change during the passage. First the only thing he can feel for the monster is hate and rage. His feelings noticeably change after hearing the creature, he starts to feel pity for him it.< La créature est-elle "un humain" de sexe masculin ? The creature In this passage the creature is first described as an horrible creature "devil", "monster", "vile insect",... . But then we discover the creature's feeling. The creature It is not simply a monster without conscience, void of any human empathy but a creature endowed with reason and feelings.

(This fact reinforced their suffering.) We can also say that Frankenstein suffers from guilt of about these two deaths. He is consumed by with guilt. He is the creator of the monster and feels therefore responsible from for William’s and Justine’s death. During this passage he also feels responsible from for the loss of Elisabeth’s innocence. <Efforce-toi de mémoriser : être responsable/cause/ de qqch = to be responsible for sth But another character also suffers in the passage: the creature. Frankenstein’s creation of the creature caused the creature it to suffer both physically and morally. Physically from cold, hunger and because he it was unaware of his its senses.

This majestic nature comforts Victor during his expedition and the creature with her its beauty at the beginning of his <? life (he <? enjoyed the beauty of the forest and birdsongs for example). < ? À qui ce dernier adjectif possessif et ce pronom sujet masculin renvoient-ils ? La créature ? Victor ? C'est ambigu, revois la construction de cette phrase. Afin qu'il ne soit pas ambigu un pronom (ou adjectif possessif) doit renvoyer à un nom employé juste avant, c'est la règle générale. (There are a few personifications "winds whispered", ...) Thank you !!!!!!My pleasure! Your English is quite good, congratulations on the work.

La créature est de sexe masculin mais je me suis posé la question de savoir si l'on pouvait la considérer comme un humain ou non du fait qu'elle parle..... Je vois que j'ai des problèmes avec les propositions, c'est difficile de savoir laquelle mettre. En tout cas je vous remercie vraiment de m'avoir aidé! Bonne journée!

La créature est de sexe masculin mais je me suis posé la question de savoir si l'on pouvait la considérer comme un humain ou non du fait qu'elle parle.....Je donne ma langue au chat. Je vois que j'ai des problèmes avec les prépositions, c'est difficile de savoir laquelle mettre. C'est en effet l'une des grandes difficultés de l'anglais avec les phrasal verbs, mais avec de la pratique et un bon dictionnaire on finit par les "apprivoiser". En tout cas je vous remercie vraiment de m'avoir aidé! Don't mention it. Bonne journée! Have a nice day too!
