Summary Of The Opening Chapter Of Frankenstein: A Fictional Narrative
Winnie leaned over and whispered to Florence.

"I'm going to the restroom," she said. Florence nodded, not taking her eyes off the screen.

Winnie stood, shuffling past the people seated in their chairs. She walked out of the dark theatre, her eyes adjusting to the light-filled entrance room. She searched around for the lavatory, and began walking towards it. She heard some commotion coming from down the hall, and she jogged towards it. Winnie spotted a strange looking animal at the end of the hallway. She wasn't usually the adventerous type, but she thought it was an adorable creature. As she continued walking, she stared right at it, faling to notice an open suitcase on the floor. When her foot reached the suitcase, she didn't feel a floor below. She glanced down, and tried placing her foot

When she woke up, there was a new creature staring at her. It was tall, had reddish-brown hair, and blue eyes. To Winnie's relief, it was a human.

"Who are you?" They asked, in sync.

"Winnifred Fairbairn," she answered first.

"Newt Scamander," he responded. "Ms. Fairbairn, may I ask what you're doing in my suitcase?"

"You're English," was her rather uncreative response.

"Um, yes. I suppose I am," he said. "But again, I must ask, how did you get in here?" Winnie noticed that he wasn't looking directly at her, and he was sort of hunched over.

"Well, I guess I fell in."

"You fell?"

"Yes, it was open, and there was this strange creature, and I was walking, and- How did I fall in? It's a suitcase. You can't fall in a suitcase. How did this happen? What was that thing? Why do you have a suitcase that people can fall in? Why are you inside a suitcase? Why am I inside a suitcase? Are we still in Toronto?" She paused, and Mr. Scamander was about to speak, when she asked one more question. "And why are you English?"

"Um, yes, those are all reasonable questions. Except for 'Why are you English?" That's not a reasonable question."

    Isabelle could have sworn that the man was drooling over her. She chuckled to herself, knowing that she had picked the perfect weakling to complete her plan. All of the sudden she stopped walking, for she felt something wet rolling down her leg. Isabelle slowly turned around to face whoever had the nerve to do this to her. Just as Isabelle had suspected, an innocent puppy had come over and licked her leg. Isabelle looked down at it, stared, and then screamed! “Whos is this?” Isabelle was stewing! Her hands were shaking all the way down to the tips of her black, matte, flawless fingernails. She bent down picked up the puppy, and yelled once more. “Whoever this beast belongs to please claim it now, or youĺl never see it again!” By now, Isabelle knew that she had everyone's attention, yet still, nobody said a word. For the last time, Isabelle shouted to the crowd as they stared at her in horror. “Fine then, say goodbye to the mangy mutt!” Everybody thought that Isabelle was going to kill the puppy, but to their surprise, she simply walked away with it. Nobody knew what she planned to do with it, but nobody had the nerve say anything. For the first time in a century, the streets of New York were completely silent, that was, until the owner of the puppy walked into the streets saying “Hey, has anyone seen my…

    Quoyle woke in the empty room. Grey light. A sound of hammering. His heart. He lay in his sleeping bag in the middle of the floor. The candle on its side. Could smell the wax, smell the pages of the book that lay open beside him, the dust in the floor cracks. Neutral light illumined the window. The hammering again and a bearing shadow in the highest panes. A bird.…

    Throughout the first act, Winnie always holds a high sense of optimism in her state of paralysis. She states how it is "another happy day with the sun shining." She remarks on the loveliness of the sun, the blue sky, and obsessively tells herself how happy she should be that she is still breathing. The fear of impending death has her appreciating the basic needs of survival. Much of the play remains a mystery, the second act, which begins with Winnie buried up to her head in sand. We could not know who buried her up to her neck. There is also the case of her husband Willie, a strange, bizarre, sluggish practically mute man next to her throughout the play.…

    The darkness worried Aurora and Phillip. Aurora’s imagination provided numerous beasts with fictional jaws and nails to lurk beyond the range of her vision. Aurora’s heart began racing as she held her baby tightly in her arms. The unusual fog was perhaps not so unusual. It had been seen before. Deep down every person in the ball room knew what it was, but too afraid to say it out loud from the fear of it becoming true. Alas, the smoke began to form a structure. A figure of a human body. Perhaps a woman.…

    Finally, I feel very contented as the slides had done beautifully and creatively by me. I wanted to do other assignments but when I glanced at the clock, it was already three in the morning! I realized that I was really exhausted and my eyes needed some rest after hours staring at the laptop screen. I turned off the laptop and went straight into my darkened room without brushing teeth and washing legs. With the help of the dim light from the street lamp nearby my room, I saw a figure sleeping on my bed. As I got nearer, the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared at me. It was an old woman with shiny gold teeth. She raised her claw-like fingers and walked towards me.…
