"I shall be with you on your wedding night" p.123
Oh the irony! This obviously is an indication that the creature is going after Elizabeth. It almost seems unrealistic that Shelley would not have Victor realize this. Anyway, this situation could simply be the definition of irony. The reader knows exactly who the creature will be after, yet Frankenstein has not the slightest clue. In addition to the irony in this quote, this really creates a lot of suspense in the book. I don't want to get too crazy with this blog entry with two literary devices, but this quote really does exhibit characteristics for both. As a reader, I was kept relatively interested throughout the book, however, when the creature said this, I couldn't wait to find out what would happen. This creepy quote from the creature really added to my enjoyment of the novel as well as to its excitement.
