Halloween and reading some of Frankenstein concentrating on the theme of the unnatural.
I pointed out that the 'creature' had 'straight black lips' and raised a huge issue of how to analyse such symbolism without degrading the terms: 'black', 'dark', 'night'.
The plenary was a discussion about why this occurs in English Language and Literature, and to be honest, back peddling with tales of Celtic culture and long nights.
I don't think I quite dug myself out of that hole with my knowledge and waffle. I feel awful.
How can I avoid doing this again? Please help!
