‘Superhuman speed’ Superman is not only a human, he is an ultra fast being of amazingness. So comparing the creation to Superman is somewhat a compliment and connoting that with its speed, means its really fast as superman can fly! In order to fly, you need a lot of speed…I’m no physist but?

‘Fallen angel’ the devil was a fallen angel and this phrase connotes the devil and hell. This is a play on words which takes a skillful mind to understand and put together making it a more difficult book and philosophy.

‘Devil!’ This adds eempathis and the disgust that Victor has of his creation. Victor doesn’t even know the creation yet he prejudges him and he assumes him to be the killer he though he was.

‘The surface is very uneven, rising like the waves of a troubled sea, desending low, and interspersed by rifts that sink deep.’

‘The field of ice is almost a league in width, but I spent nearly 2 hours in crossing it.’

In extract A Shelly uses pathetic fallency to foreshadow. For example an ‘uneven surface’ connotes the bumpy road ahead for Victor. The struggle he will have to go through and endure will be difficult and the uneven surface connoted that.
