Sample text

How incoherence can be resolved is, for Jackson, the central feature of the fantastic text. One possible resolution is associated with the status of the Other, which provides a political solution to a problem which was beginning to look like a purely psychological issue.

As I mentioned, Clerval’s task is to attempt to re-educate Victor about the pleasures to be found in the sublime. Victor says that ‘Clerval called forth the better feelings of my heart; he again taught me to love the aspect of nature and the cheerful faces of children’ (p. 117). However, the fact that this is learned means that it compromises the supposedly natural status of the sublime; although, provisionally, it enables Victor to reclaim his past, a past which is associated with the sublime: I became the same happy creature who, a few years ago, loved and beloved by all, had no sorrow or care.

Often these are related to how the sublime supplies a false perception of the world. However, the idea of misinterpretation and misunderstanding is introduced early on in the novel in the relationship between Victor and Robert Walton. If it had been Clerval’s task to try and re-educate Victor about the sublime, it becomes Victor’s to try and disabuse Walton of his own apparent overreaching.
