Answer:

The Monster learns to speak by spying on the DeLacey family. He lives for over a year in a “hovel,” a small shed attached to the DeLaceys’ cottage. Through a chink in the wall, the Monster can see and hear everything that happens inside the cottage. He learns to speak by listening to the DeLaceys. When Felix DeLacey’s fiancée Safie arrives, the Monster is able to learn more: Safie is Turkish, and the Monster overhears Felix teaching her French as well as the history and politics of Europe. The Monster learns to read when he finds three books abandoned on the ground: <u>Paradise Lost</u>, <u>Plutarch’s Lives</u> and <u>The Sorrows of Werter</u>. These books point to major themes of the novel. <u><em>Plutarch’s Lives</em></u> is about the “great men” of history, which reminds us that the <em>Monster exists because of Frankenstein’s ambition to be great</em>. The <u><em>Sorrows of Werter</em></u> is a novel about the <em>alienation of a young man</em>, which underlines <em>the alienation of both the Monster and Frankenstein</em>. <u><em>Paradise Lost</em></u>, by the English poet John Milton, is the most significant of the three books. It tells the <em>Biblical story of Adam and Eve</em>, focusing on <em>Satan’s ambition and alienation from God</em>. The Monster frequently compares himself to both Satan and Adam.

What does the creature learn from this book? How much of a monster can someone be who can say "but when I heard details of vice and bloodshed, my wonder ceased, and I turned away with disgust and loathing"?

The creature learns all about the history of civilization and all the wars man has waged on one another.

What happens when the creature begins to think about himself? How does he compare with the humans described in the book? What questions does he ask himself? How does his knowledge make him feel?

The creature realizes he is the only one in existence. Like himself he is monstrously ugly and he is utterly alone. He asks, "What am I?" and "Who am I?" He feels absolute misery.

What are the three books that the creature reads, and what does he learn from each of them?

Plutarch's "Lives", Goethe's "Sorrows of Werter", and Milton's "Paradise Lost". He learns of man's cruel history of war in "Lives", of man's melancholic nature in "Sorrows of Werter" and the noble thoughts of man in "Paradise Lost".

Examples:
Did you go to the store yesterday?
How many people went to the concert?

Read the pun, keeping in mind that a jest is a joke and a pump is a shoe. Mercutio: Well said; follow me this jest now till thou
Alenkasestr [34]

A Pun means playing with words that sound alike or have more than one meaning. Therefore, 'single' and 'sole' are used as puns in these lines. A pun adds a comedic effect and a sense of irony to the passage. Sometimes it also creates a mockery effect in the passage.

<h3>What is a Pun?</h3>

A Pun means to use the meaning of the words interchangeably to crack a joke or to make a satire.

William Shakespeare has used single and sole as a Pun here. Mercutio is saying that Romeo has cracked a silly joke, the fine skin of the pump (shoes) is all worn out, and the joke is the only thing he is left with. This has created a sense of humor and comedic effect in the passage.

Therefore, 'single' and 'sole' are used as puns in the passage which are creating a humorous effect in the passage.
