How does the structure of the novel (framing devices) affect the plot? if shelley wrote the novel without shifting perspectives (for example, if victor narrated the entire novel) how would it have affected your comprehension of the text?

The structure of the novel emphasizes the importance of looking beyond appearances and highlights the view that most objects, facts, and events seem different on closer examination. Narrative devices such as the use of Captain Walton’s letters and the lack of an omniscient narrator help ensure that one character’s perspective does not dominate the narrative. The use of multiple perspectives also heightens the mystery of the story. If the reader read only Victor Frankenstein’s version of events, the story would have fewer layers of meaning and be less open to multiple interpretations. (PLATO)
