Title overview

The brand new York Notes GCSE Study Notes and Revision Guide for Frankenstein provides all the information you need to write high level exam answers, and will help you to gain a thorough understanding of key elements in Mary Shelley’s gothic novel, including the plot, major characters, historical context and underlying themes.

GCSE Examiners are likely to award the highest marks to students whose answers demonstrate that they understand the key elements of Shelley’s novel – such as the tortured relationship between Victor Frankenstein and the monster he creates, the theme of knowledge and exploration, the role of parents and how Shelley uses the dramatic alpine landscape as a backdrop to her tale – and can back these up with relevant quotations and evidence from the text.
