Essay / Theme of Intertextuality in Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
At the beginning, the sentence sections precede the quote which shows Victor's feelings towards his deceased friend. However, upon closer examination, it can be seen that there is a similarity between Frankenstein and Tintern Abbey. Both texts contain an explicit and complete explanation of nature. Shelley andworth describes nature in a way that appeals to the reader's ideas about their work. Shelley also uses intertextuality to make her work credible. For example, when writers quote one or more texts from others, they will use these texts to authenticate the message they are transmitting since their point of view would confirm what they have already done.
