analogy between dreams and novels seems natural. We can live vicariously through romantic fictions‚ much as we can through daydreams. Terrifying novels and nightmares affect us in much the same way‚ plunging us into an atmosphere that continues to cling‚ even after the last chapter has been read--or the alarm clock has sounded. Thus it is not surprising to hear someone say that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is "like a dream." It describes dreams‚ it frightens Iike a nightmare‚ and it is a structure that
