Document Summary
The sublime is linked to imagery and that is how we are going to be thinking about meaning at this point. Shelly"s book has to do not only with the natural world, but humanism at the same time. Representations of the visible worlds and the mental impressions conjured up by such representation: descriptive terms. Imagery is generally intended to make whatever the author is describing concrete in the reader"s mind, to give it some tangible and real existence. Imagery provides the reader with a sense of vividness and immediacy: really important because it brings us into the world the author is creating for us. Shelly describes the imagery in order to put us in the swiss. Imagery is a central component of almost all imaginative literature. Frankenstein created this creature to be beautiful, but when it comes to life it is truly a monstrous being. Reference to page 83 of the text.
