Waterfalls


“...and the dashing of the waterfalls around, spoke of a power” (Shelley, 64).

This is yet another example of Mary Shelley’s use of personification when she describes the settings in to book. A waterfall speaking is much more powerful to a reader then a waterfall falling. She enriches her text like this to better capture the reader and help them picture what is happening in the novel.
