As the novel of Frankenstein begins with the introductory letters, it becomes easy to conclude that this novel is a frame story. The letters are from a man to his sister. He is describing the new man aboard his ship and the story the man tells. This man, Victor Frankenstein, tells the actual story of the monster. However, during his telling, he goes off on tangents, describing his father’s life and letters from other people, which also tell other stories (example: Justine Moritz). At times these side stories are hard to follow, but they provide a historical insight on the lives of the characters and explain past events and their meaning.
