Frankenstein Quotes

Start with a mind map

The Frankenstein Key Quotes mind map is a starting point for exploring the desire for forbidden knowledge. Look at how its quotations are grouped, then note the words that connect them to that idea. For another selection, Frankenstein: Key quotes brings together quotations about ambition and isolation, including “I abhorred society” and “I ardently desired”.

As you study, try explaining a connection between a quotation and its group in your own words. This gives you a way to organize the quotations rather than treating each one as a separate item.

Practice with flashcards

After looking at a map, use a flashcard deck to practice recalling quotations. The Frankenstein Quotes deck with prompts about Victor covers his pursuit, his work creating the monster and his reaction afterward. Another deck, Frankenstein, asks for quotations linked to ideas such as Monster and Man.

Read a prompt and think of a quotation before checking the card. You can return to a mind map when you want to see how a quotation relates to a wider idea. The deck on relationships also offers prompts about friendship, Elizabeth and women.

Use the quiz and maps together

The page also has a quiz. Take it after exploring a map and some flashcards, then use your responses to decide what to look at again. A map can help you group quotations, while flashcards give you prompts for recall. Repeat the process with a different set of quotations when you are ready.

Explore the unit

Frankenstein Quotes is one section of the Frankenstein unit in Literature. Use this section to gather and practice quotations as you work through the unit. You can also look at the Frankenstein Quotes mind map that connects the creature’s words about Adam and the fallen angel with Paradise Lost.

Choose a map or deck and build your own set of study notes as you go.
