Frankenstein: More work on thematic ideas from the opening letters/chapters of the text. Though there are various ideas we probably didn't address in one class or another, you should realize by now the thorough way in which certain core ideas are interlaced throughout Shelley's work. We still need to look closely at the subjects of study he undertakes at the university and at the characteristics and personality of his two professors.
FOR TOMORROW
Yes, the essay draft. Pay close heed to the following caveats:

Body thesis claims
- As with any essay, be sure that each body thesis links back to a specific part of the main thesis.
- EVERY “body section” (not necessarily every paragraph) needs to start with a concrete comparative/contrast claim that incorporates both works
