Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"I abstained...neighbouring wood."99
The sustenance that Frankenstein's creation learns to survive on is berries, nuts and roots from the woods nearby where he is staying. The foods that he finds are three of the main things that a civilized man would use if he were trapped in the wilderness without food. The chapter about the creature's development is highly comparative to the development of man. Once again, like the fire, the berries and other naturally provided sustanence represent basic knowledge.

Why the big gap between posts? Do a little math and figure something out?
I like the connections you make between the plot experience and its relationship to the greater thematic experience of the novel.
I need to look at your works cited before I compose a score, Mollie, but overall I'm quite pleased with these entries -- you make a great many very interesting observations -- remember that an item or figure may not always be 'symbolic' but may still be used to convey meaning
I would have liked seeing some more variety in your source material -- wikipedia is a good general tool and for what you looked up, chances are pretty good it is reliable -- but it is still not the most academic choice as it is too easy for users to manipulate and bias the information on there
