Mourning Clerval

With the loss our beloved, nature-loving Clerval, we lost a dear friend, a compassionate caregiver, a poet wanting to travel to faraway lands (kind of like Walton, which shows why Victor would gravitate towards him). Then, in our reading today, more loss: Elizabeth, strangled on her wedding bed during that "dreaded" night and Mr. Frankenstein succumbed to his heartbreak at outliving half of his children.

For homework, read the rest of the book -- chapter 24 will return to Walton, so we can see his reaction to this "mad" tale of a creator and his creation. And, I have a feeling that our creature will make an appearance.

Make sure you are in class tomorrow and that you have thoroughly read Chapter 24.
