Frankenstein

Explain the impact that one of the chosen words has on the tone, and the impact that the other word has on the meaning of the excerpt.

Read the excerpt from Chapter 13 in Frankenstein.

“Felix seemed ravished with delight when he saw her, every trait of sorrow vanished from his face, and it instantly expressed a degree of ecstatic joy, of which I could hardly have believed it capable; his eyes sparkled, as his cheek flushed with pleasure; and at that moment I thought him as beautiful as the stranger.”

Choose two words from the description. Explain the impact that one of the chosen words has on the tone, and the impact that the other word has on the meaning of the excerpt. Use examples and evidence from the text to support the ideas in your response.
