allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not describe in detail the person or thing to which it refers.

<em>a reference in a text to a well-known text, person, event, or thing</em>. This is the right option. The author makes the decision to refer to these items generally in an indirect way. For example, you should not wait as <em>Penelope</em>. Get out and meet a new man!.  Penelope is Odysseu's wife.

These are not correct options:

- words, events, or dialogue in a text that hint at a future plot development. This is called foreshadowing.

-a communication between characters that develops character or plot.  This is characterization

- incidents placed in a text by the author to mislead or trick the reader: This is plot device.

Did you find the resolution of Frankenstein satisfactory? Why or why not? (Frankenstein)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Yes, the resolution of the novel is satisfactory.

Victor's refusal to do his part of being a 'parent' to the creature is a grave mistake on his part. He should have been ready to take care of him and help him in his needs, however monstrous he may be. But by denying the love and care for his 'child', he is indirectly responsible for how the creature turned up to be, devoid of care, love, and humanistic qualities that Victor could have taught him.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley's gothic novel <em>Frankenstein</em><em> </em>tells the story of how a young scientist surpasses the normal conventions of science and gave life to a creature he will only despise and abhor. The story delves into the nature of humanity and how evil breeds and to beget evil deeds.

Victor Frankenstein's decision to abhor his own created being led to the monster retaliating against him. He began to torture and wreak havoc in his life, killing his near and dear ones. This, I think, is understandable for his own creator denounces and ignores him, leaving him alone in the world. The resolution of Frankenstein which is the death of Victor and his decision to leave everything behind to go up north is satisfactory. Victor, as the creator of the monster, ignores his duty of taking care of his 'child'. This is the parental mistake that will haunt his whole life, and in his case, destroy his world.

This resolution is satisfactory for, in his refusal to take care of his own 'child', he commits the grave mistake of being a parent. And for that, he deserves to suffer for all the wrongs that he had done on the creature, even the very sin of giving him life from the numerous dead parts of many people. If he wasn't ready to play his role of a parent and a creator, he shouldn't have done the deed of giving life to it.
