Inception spoiled me.

"Walton, in continuation.
You have read this strange and terrific story, Margaret..." p. 155

I feel like I'm stuck on Inception, but I can't really forget about it while dealing with frame story. am I the only one that sorta wanted another level or frame? I'm not sure who it would continue off of... maybe Elizabeth? she seems a little dull though. possibly De Lacey... or Clerval. yeah. he'd be good. I think it'd be really interesting to see what Clerval had to say about things. I'm not sure how it would fit in though. it'd be super trippy if maybe he was reading all the letters from Walton for some reason. like, maybe he's Margaret's husband or something? I mean, it couldn't be, but that would be weeeeird! right? I'm all excited about this now. boo. such a nerd. =D

it's a story within a story within a story....

are we in Inception?

"Strange and harrowing must be his story, frightful the storm which embraced the gallant vessel on its course and wrecked it - thus! ..." p. 14

yay for frame story! I'm still not convinced that the letters serve any purpose other than to create a frame story. awesome, Mary Shelly. so cool. I'm kinda nervous now about how deep this is going to go. I mean, after about two levels it's harder to kick out. right? I'm just not sure what purpose it serves yet. and there's probably more to come. great. I know that the frame serves to show parallels between Walton and Victor, but why? why not just have them in the same story in the same time period? why not have Victor tell his story all over again to Walton's "sister"? smh. I'm sure it'll all make sense eventually.
