State the strength and weaknesses of the
text
Interpret and evaluate the text based on:
EVALUATION
• How the text is organized
• How effective the message is
• Whether or not the author did justice to
the message
• How the text appealed to its target
Victor's shadow audience
devoured the other archetypes. The writer
effectively gave justice to the name Victor who was hailed as a
"victor." His aim for scientific glory had prevailed. This resulted in a
rejection to both of his anima (Elizabeth) and persona (Henry) who
were both killed by the monster he created. In other words, Victor was
not able to integrate his shadow into other archetypes. He failed to
assimilate those to produce the concept of self from Jungian
Psychology which later caused his tragic death.

CONCLUSION
statement
Summarize your main
ideas
Include a call to action
In sum, human nature can never be considered flat and
stereotypical. Jung's view of human nature is indeed relevant
and universal. Employing his work to Shelly's Frankenstein
further extended its applicability to literature. The archetypes
from his work are present and depicted through the character
of Victor's ambition (shadow), Elizabeth (anima), and Henry
(persona)...
Why do we need to critique a literary
work?
 To know its overall
value
 To determine its
strength and
weaknesses
REMEMBER!!!!

Avoid introducing your ideas


by stating “I think” or “In my
opinion”.
Keep the focus on the
subject of your analysis, not
on yourself.
