"You have read this strange and terrific story, Margret; and do you not feel your blood congeal with horror" (155)
The frame story of Frankenstein helped to establish the story and call attention to the parts of the story that mary Shelly wanted to focus on, while lessening attention on Watson for the majority of the story. There are many compensate at work with many characters. The reader is not overwhelmed by all of these characters because of the frame story. When Walton is speaking the reader is focused on the characters is associated with walton's story, as well as Victor and the creature's stories. Because Mary Shelly did give the reader the story behind almost all the character, this could have made the story long and drawn-out, but because the characters were important to each frame, the story stayed interesting and suspenseful. Also knowing that the story will end with Victor chasing the creature, add mystery on what scenarios could possibly lead to such an out come.
