Judge?s Wife much of the main character?s corruption is said to be to this. Similarly

within the texts of Frankenstein one can a similar pattern in the request of the creature

for feminine companionship. Allende and Shelly both make indications in their texts that

this type of love contains both a necessary and satisfying function.

Isabel Allende uses a combination of literary tools and techniques to assemble a

piece that in some ways reflects a great masterpiece. By refining strong imagery

Allende gives the reader the ability to define the character not only through their dialog,

but also through the visualization of the character. The author adds another dimension

to the side of her main character by including background history. In combining all of

these tools the characters are given a realistic overtone that makes this short story easy

for the reader to consume and enjoy.
