The language techniques used by the author in the mentioned paragraph are as follows:
Foreshadowing that is mentioned throughout the prose, then alliteration in the sentence ‘with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony’ repetition of consonant ‘a’. it has allusions to Greek Mythology as well, the connection between Prometheus and Victor’s ability to create a life that was once just limited to God. Pathetic Fallacy is mentioned in the following line “the rain pattered dismally against the panes”. There is the use of Imagery as well when victor describes the body of the creature he created. ‘His jaws opened, and he muttered some inarticulate sounds, while a grin wrinkled his cheeks’ this draws a parallel between the creature and a new-born child.
Foreshadowing is used when an author gives hints to what’s coming in the story further, Victor’s feelings as described gives the readers the hint that Victor regrets creating a life and will regret the entirety of the story. Alliteration is the repetition of words/sounds, consonant a is repeated throughout. Pathetic fallacy is used when an author gives inanimate objects feelings to denote the context of any story, rain [an inanimate object] cannot have gloomy feelings. Imagery is used to create a physical appearance in the head of the readers, Victor’s description of the creature creates imagery. Parallel just means a comparison drawn to two or more things that may not have a connection to each other.
Mary Shelley uses the aforementioned techniques and connects the readers with the story's main concern of evolutionary scientific techniques.
