The above quote was made by Tomas Elemans who at the time of the quote worked for PVH as the brand protection Manager. He believes that Storytelling (literature) helps us to empathize with the condition of strangers. This is what is meant by the above quote: "Literature has a way of reminding us that the stranger is not so strange".

<h3>How, according to Tomas Elemans does literature help us to connect with the stranger?</h3>

Again we turn to Elemans own words. He states that when we read of and imagine being the characters in stories, it helps us transcend the here-and -now thus reducing the focus on our ego or feeling of self-importance while improving our reflection. He says that fiction helps us to disconnect from ourselves and access our emotional, empathetic nature which we often neglect in our daily lives.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer and Explanation:

The frame to which the question refers, are the letters of Robert Walton, presented in the book "Frankenstein." In these letters Walton tells his sister about witnessing the creation of Victor Frankenstein. This enhances and improves the story, as it shows that the entire Victor Frankenstein narrative is real. That's because Victor Frankenstein's story of creating a man through pieces of dead people is very surreal and fanciful, but when Walton confirms that this actually happened, we can trust that Victor Frankenstein is telling the truth and not fantasizing in a crazy way. This is mainly due to the fact that Walton is also a science lover like Victor Frankenstein, but he is more rational and less eccentric, which allows the reader to trust that the story is true, even if he is suspicious of Victor Frankenstein.
