Twain likely made Henry Adams an American in England to show how far removed he was from what was viewed as proper English society. As an American he would be considered a backwards outsider that could not possibly fit in. That all changes when he receives the bank-note and then can afford to buy his way into the English society.
Answer:
B). They were wealthy but generous, helping those less fortunate.
Explanation:
The 'Frankenstein' family is best described as the Bourgeoisie European family that has remained quite significant in European history. The famous character 'Victor Frankenstein' of the science fiction titled 'Frankenstein' is also historically rooted around this context.
As per the question, the 'Frankenstein family' was wealthy and possessed great fortune but despite belonging to the elite bourgeoisie class they were quite generous and helped those whom they found 'less fortunate' for a century. However, the family remained 'infamous' and used as 'synonymous' to 'monster' as their scientific experiment failed and went amiss(as in the novel Frankenstein). Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
