Let me put it clear for you that <span>Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech.
</span><span>A key reason to include hyperbole in a literary work is that it includes to add humor and to heighten the effect.</span>
1. Explain Mary Shelley’s use of a motif in Frankenstein and provide at least two examples of this motif from the text.
Motifs are recurring structures, contrasts, or literary devices that can help to develop and inform the text’s major themes.
Example 1: Passive Women Frankenstein is strikingly devoid of strong female characters. The novel is littered with passive women who suffer calmly and then expire: Caroline Beaufort is a self-sacrificing mother who dies taking care of her adopted daughter.
Example 2: Abortion
<span>The motif of abortion recurs as both Victor and the monster express their sense of the monster’s hideousness. About first seeing his creation, Victor says: “When I thought of him, I gnashed my teeth, my eyes became inflamed, and I ardently wished to extinguish that life which I had so thoughtlessly made.” The monster feels a similar disgust for himself: “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.”

2. What does Frankenstein suggest about duality in life? What examples from the text can you give that relate to this theme?
<span>The Creature's duality is his ability to show love and to yearn for people who love him (as in his mountain retreat, where he fell in love with the family he helped), and his humanity. The flip side of that is his hatred for who he is and his desire to destroy his creator, Dr Victor Frankenstein when he wouldn't make another monster for his companionship. </span>
Answer and Explanation:
Nat is a boy who was invited by a theater director to become a member of a theater group that presents Shakesperian plays. Nat accepts the invitation and ends up acting in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Julio Cesar" where he proved to be a very talented and promising actor. However, one day, when he returned home, he felt extremely ill, feverish and sick. He ended up sleeping in his room and was transported through time, waking up in Elizabethan England. On this journey through time, he ends up meeting Shakespeare who is very surprised by his acting ability and invites him to be a member of his theater group. Nat lives very unique and fun moments in Elizabethan England, but in the blink of an eye he is transported back to the future, where he wakes up in a hospital bed, not sure if he really traveled in time, or just had a fever dream.
Nat is the main character of "King Of Shadows" that tells of his adventures as an actor of the Shakespeare Theater company, in the beginnings of the British theater.
