Franken wHAT?
The story of Frankenstien by Mary Shelley is told in the style of a frame story. The outside story begins with letters between a Mr. Robert Walton and his sister, a Mrs. Saville. He recounts a trip that he is taking and he tells his sister about a man he meets. The man begins to tell Robert a story; this is the inner story. At some points, this may confuse the reader; however, in this way, different points of view are shared concerning the same story.
