what a scene has just taken place
Characteristic of the structural ingenuity of Frankenstein, its
final scene is a recollected flashback. Chronologically speaking, this
brief paragraph, with its self-reflexiveness about its own artistic
imperitives and capacities, constitutes something of a final bow, the last
words of a novel
that, from end to end, has held a mirror up to its own operations as a
primary example of the creation that is its theme.
