Answer:

1. "From that moment I declared everlasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me and sent me forth to this insupportable misery." - Revenge

2. "If I am assailed by disappointment, no one will endeavor to sustain me in dejection. I shall commit my thoughts to paper, it is true; but that is a poor medium for the communication of feeling." - Isolation

4. "I found a fire which had been left by some wandering beggars, and was overcome with delight at the warmth I experienced from it. In my joy I thrust my hand into the live embers, but quickly drew it out again with a cry of pain." - Deceptive appearance

Explanation:

The excerpts you were given are the following:

  • "From that moment I declared everlasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me and sent me forth to this insupportable misery."
  • "If I am assailed by disappointment, no one will endeavor to sustain me in dejection. I shall commit my thoughts to paper,it is true; but that is a poor medium for the communication of feeling."
  • "They have acquired new and almost unlimited powers; they can command the thunders of heaven, mimic the earthquake, and even mock the invisible world with its own shadows."
  • "I found a fire which had been left by some wandering beggars, and was overcome with delight at the warmth I experienced from it. In my joy I thrust my hand into the live embers, but quickly drew it out again with a cry of pain."

The themes you were given are:

  • Isolation
  • Dangerous Knowledge
  • Deceptive Appearances
  • Revenge

<em>Frankenstein</em> is a novel written by English writer Mary Shelley. It tells about Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in a scientific experiment. The novel deals with numerous themes, including birth and creation, family, ambition, nature, dangerous knowledge, deceptive appearances, isolation, and revenge. The excerpts you were given demonstrate four of them.

The first excerpt reflects the theme of revenge. The phrase that leads us to this conclusion is:<em> From that moment I declared everlasting war against the species...</em>

The second excerpt reflects isolation. The most important lines are: <em>... no one will endeavor to sustain me in dejection. I shall commit my thoughts to paper...</em>

The third excerpt reflects dangerous knowledge. The mention of <em>new and almost unlimited powers</em> is what leads us to this conclusion.

Finally, the last excerpt reflects the theme of deceptive appearances. The narrator tells about a fire that seemed like a good thing, something that brings warmth, but turned out to be dangerous and cause pain.
