This plot structure uniquely allows Shelley to frame the story, add depth to it, and allow readers to see and appreciate the strong similarities between the three narrators. By constructing the story in this fashion, Shelley is ultimately able to give purpose to this unusual method of writing and create an original and intriguing plotline. Shelley’s interesting method of framing the story, while at first seems awkward and unnecessary, eventually develops into a recognizable and admirable framing of the story, putting events in a more presentable order and allowing for much greater suspense and foreshadowing.

The authors’ use of these elements creates reliability of information, a deeper meaning beyond the plot, and in-depth development of characters.

The in-class presentation of Balzac’s Pere Goriot emphasized the importance of “intertextuality” to this novel. Balzac’s work has been compared to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Milton’s Paradise Lost as well as Goetha’s Faust. How does Balzac stage the struggle between good and evil in the conflict between Eugene de Rastignac and Vautrin?
