To what extent does 'Frankenstein' offer multiple narrators in order to provide multiple points of view? Can it be argued that, while offering alternative viewpoints, Shelley and, arguably Bronte in 'Wuthering Heights', do not differentiate between the voices accorded to their various narrators?
Beth Newman in 'The Frame Structure of Frankenstein' argues:
The novel fails to provide significant differences in tone, diction and sentence structure that alone can serve, in a written text , to represent individual human voices, and so blurs the distinction that it asks us to make between the voices of its characters.
How far do you agree with this view?
