MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN 1. WHAT GOTHICC ELEMENTS CAN YO DISTINGUISH IN THE EXCERPT? ENNUMERATE THEM AND EXPLAIN THEM BRIEFLY. The intrigue is developed in an old castle or a monastery 8importance of the architectural scenario, which serves to enrich the plot). Atmosphere of mystery ans suspense (the autor creates a supernatural framework or scenario capable, many times by himself, of arousing feelings of mystery or terror). Supernatural or difficult to explain events Runaway emotions (characters are subject to rampant passions, pànic accesses, mood agitations such as deep depression, anguish, paranoia, jealousy, and sickly love. PERCY B. SHELLEY, “OZYMANDIAS” 1. WHO IS THE SPEAKER IN THE POEM? There are several diferent voices in this poem that put some distance between us and Ozymandias.

It’s almost as if the speaker has just stopped for the night at a hotel, or stepped into an unfamiliar bar, and happens to bum pinto a welltraveled guy. The speaker doesn’t hang around very long before handing the microphone over to the traveler, whose Voice occupies the remainder of the poem. One can imagine a movie based on this storyline: the speaker meets a strange guy who then narrates his experience, which make up the rest of the film. We don’t know a whole lot about this traveler, he could be a native of the “antique land”, a tourist who has viited it, or even a guy who just stepped out of a time Machine. He seems like one of those guys you’d meet in a youth hostel who has all kinds of cool stories but no real place to call home other than the road; he is a “traveler” after all, and he clearly knows how to give a really dramàtic description – just note the bleak Picture that is painted of the “lone and levels sands” streching “far away” to see what we mean. Most of the poem consist of the traveler’s description of the statue lying in the desert, excepte fot the two lines in the middle where he tell us what the inscription on the statues says; and while the traveler speaks these lines, they really belong to Ozymandias, making him, in a sense, the third speaker in this polyphonic poem....
