In my opinion, the pat that suggests a trace of human feeling in Mr. Bumble's character is the following one: "<span>Mr. Bumble regarded Oliver's piteous and helpless look, with some astonishment, for a few seconds; hemmed three or four times in a husky manner; and after muttering something about 'that troublesome cough,' bade Oliver dry his eyes and be a good boy." Even though he has treated Oliver cruelly and severely, when he sees Oliver's distress, Mr. Bumble seems to feel some compassion for a moment.</span>
One of the themes developed in Frankestein is the "dangerous knowledge" going beyond human limits to create a new being. Nowadays, great organizations are working secretly on developments that change human beings phisically and the way of relating with other. Secondly, we find the theme that pervates all the novel which is "monstrosity". From this concept we can say that author presents 1. A monster rejected by its unnatural and grotequesque appearance and 2. A monster that can be any person in day to day rejected by society just for looking and acting diferently.
The word in the sentence which the underlined phrase
modifies is:
D. Marcella
<span>The phrase adds an idea where the noun “Marcella”
is resting. Therefore it answers the question “where”. This is an example of
prepositional phrase which functions as an adjective. </span>
