i love how Mary Shelley's writing is like

"This is what happene to me this afternoon" - followed by the briefest description of a life-shattering situation, with no build-up or explanation, almost as an afterthought to the more important part of the narration:

"And here's how it made me feel" - followed by 10 pages of detailed deep introspection

Descriptions of nature falls somewhere in the middle

really taken with how Louis is the only one of his siblings without a religiously coded name. Paul as in the apostle, constantly talking about what the Lord wants and trying to guide Louis in the right direction through his preaching. Grace as in the freely given, pure love and forgiveness offered by God, the sweet sound that can save any sinner. Louis loses Paul and then he loves the Devil, forever turning his back on Grace.
