Frankenstein and Romanticism Art
The quotes I chose mostly evokes the emotion of a character. The emotion of rage and anger is portrayed the most in my selection of quotes. In the beginning, the mood of the book is joyful and pleasant but as the novel countinues, it gets darker and darker. Chapter 1 to Chapter 6, it is very uplifted and the mood is very settle and light. The idea of nature is shown in these chapters and it brings the feeling of happiness and relaxation. But from chapter 7, the mood drastically and it turns into dark revenge, hate, and destruction. One could say that chapter 7 is the turning point in the novel and the mood completely changes. I chose the paintings of the romanticism because it was when many artists evoked the idea of emotions and the feelings of human beings that never was existing. It fit very well with my quotations because it demostrated the same emotions I was trying to show from my quotes. The use of nature in the quotes such as, mountains of ice, sun and clouds matched very well with the romanticism paintings and most of them have a very similar emotions. The emotions one gets when looking at the painting is similar to the feeling one gets when one reads the quotation or read the chapter. Thus, the romanticism art strongly shawdows the idea of emotions in the novel of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and the use of nature qualities and the human emotional feeling that the novel and art brings is the main similarity of the two.
