They forgot to include this section(the excerpt)

Once when he got up from the commode too weak to draw up his trousers, he dropped into a soft armchair and looked with horror at his bare, enfeebled thighs with the muscles so sharply marked on them.

Gerasim with a firm light tread, his heavy boots emitting a pleasant smell of tar and fresh winter air, came in wearing a clean Hessian apron, the sleeves of his print shirt tucked up over his strong bare young arms; and refraining from looking at his sick master out of consideration for his feelings, and restraining the joy of life that beamed from his face, he went up to the commode.

… Ivan Ilyich told Gerasim to sit down and hold his legs, and began to talk to him. And strange to say it seemed to him that he felt better while Gerasim held his legs up.

After that Ivan Ilyich would sometimes call Gerasim and get him to hold his legs on his shoulders, and he liked talking to him. Gerasim did it all easily, willingly, simply, and with a good nature that touched Ivan Ilyich. Health, strength, and vitality in other people were offensive to him, but Gerasim's strength and vitality did not mortify but soothed him.

What tormented Ivan Ilyich most was the deception, the lie, which for some reason they all accepted, that he was not dying but was simply ill, and he only need keep quiet and undergo a treatment and then something very good would result. He however knew that do what they would nothing would come of it, only still more agonizing suffering and death.

Explain how Mary Shelley's Frankenstein conveys themes relating to the Industrial Revolution. In particular, analyze her choices
kenny6666 [7]

The novel <em>Frankenstein</em>, by Mary Shelley, conveys some ideas that were particularly relevant during the Industrial Revolution. These are expressed in various aspects of the work, including its setting, plot and characterization.

In terms of setting, the novel emphasizes grand and intense natural settings. Lakes, mountains and forests are very prominent in the novel, and play an important role in the development of the characters. The setting relates to the Industrial Revolution because it reflects a feeling that many people had at the time: that of escaping the busy cities and reconnecting with nature.

In terms of plot, the novel provides a critique of the Industrial Revolution through the character of Victor Frankenstein. The scientist is guided by an arrogance that comes from being able to master science and technology. Such arrogance leads him to create a monster that he cannot control later on. This arrogance was similar to that of inventors and entrepreneurs of this time period.

Finally, the characterization reflects some of these elements as well. Victor has already been mentioned as an example. However, the creature can also be considered an example of this, as the alienation and identity confusion the creature feels is similar to that which was felt by many workers during this period.
