 A SUMMARY OF WORK
 Include relevant plot elements, character
details, and information about the context of
the work.
Point out as well how the author
accomplishes the goals od the text, by naming
techniques, styles, symbols, literary devices or
figurative language.
 A SUMMARY OF WORK

 The rule of thumb for this section is:

“ If you will examine it in depth in the
evaluation, or if the information helps the
evaluation section become clearer, it should
be included here”
 In a series of letters, Robert Walton, the ship
captain bound for the North Pole, recounted to his
sister back in England the progress of his
dangerous mission. Walton the encountered Victor
Frankenstein, who travelled by dog-drawn sled
across the ice.

 CRITICAL EVALUATION

Includes organized, detailed analysis of

the work using lens , expressing your
thesis statement and provide supporting
information for why you feel the work
succeeded at its goal or not.
 CRITICAL EVALUATION

Identify the strengths and

weaknesses of the work, using specific
examples and evidence from the text.
 Victor’s shadow devoured the other archetypes. The writer
effectively gave justice to the name Victor who was hailed as a
“victor.” His aim for scientific glory had prevailed. This resulted
in a rejection to both of his anima (Elizabeth) and persona (Henry)
who were both cold by the monster he created. In other words,
Victor was not able to integrate his shadow into the archetypes. He
failed to assimilate those to produce the concept of self from
Jungian Psychology which later caused his tragic death.

 CONCLUSION

Briefly summarize the points you have

just made, leading to reinstatement of
your verdict about the text.
 In sum, human nature can never be considered flat and
stereotypical. Jung’s view of human nature is indeed relevant
and universal. Employing his work to Shelly’s Frankenstein
further extended its applicability to literature. The
archetypes from his work are present and depicted through
the character of Victor’s ambition (shadow), Elizabeth
(anima) and Henry (persona) . . .
