    Thank you so much for this! I have my English Lit/Lang A-Level this afternoon, and I've been scouring the internet for any useful videos on context for a last minute boost. You definitely have the best videos out there, and I remembered them from my GCSE English! Thank you so much for all your help over the last 4 years, you really did make a difference and helped me gain the grades : )

    Worth mentioning the various quotes of S.T. Coleridge’s THE ANCIENT MARINER in the novel, which had been recited in Mary Shelley’s home by Coleridge when she was a child. The needless killing of the Albatross in the poem brings about a catastrophe in the natural order which plagues the narrator. Message? Mess with Nature, and Nature’s going to wreak her revenge...

    can you make an updated grade 9 analysis on Frankenstein, for example character analysis, theme analysis and structure/setting/genre analysis please
    I know its on your playlist but it doesn't cover some of this stuff.

    Shelley’s source for scientific experiments with electricity was derived from the original text of fantasmagoriana.

    Why did Shelley choose for the monster to read 'Milton and Goethe'?

    Have you analysed Lord of The Flies? If not, if possible, I would really appreciate it if you could do it as soon as possible. Thanks

    Just purchased your eBook. Love your approach.
    I am so curious to explore the connections between Frankenstein and the movie Blade Runner. Maybe someday you can share your thoughts on this question.

      Emilia - Fox Lavis it always frustrates me too... hearing something obviously isn't the same as spelling it! Johann Conrad Dippel is his name.
