Frankenstein~Framestory

The framestory in Frankenstein emphasizes the structure of the story. Robert Walton starts narrating the story through the letters. Next, Dr. Frankenstein (Victor) takes over the narrating for the majority of the first half of the novel. The framestory structure allows the reader to understand the material/information through different perspectives. This in turn gives the reader the opportunity to read in to the material more deeply. I've found the framestory aspect to be a little confusing. However, I feel that it works with the story in order to better portray Frankenstein. Overall, their are three narrators contributing to the framestory, which each include a very different perspective on the story.
