"The wind roared like thunder, and blew with such force that it was with difficulty that even strong men kept their feet, or clung with grim clasp to the iron stanchions."
"The wind roared like thunder" is a simile. This also reflects that spooky and dark mood of the story. It helps to create that effect and also relate it to a sound that we can relate to. Also the wind is a symbol for what is to come almost like Nature is in Frankenstein. It foreshadows what happens next. As the wind is getting rougher in this scene you can tell that the next few scenes will not be the happiest. Things will begin to go wrong as the wind gets rougher. Also the imagery used to show how rough the wind was. You can see the men holding on for dear life to understand the conditions that they were in. This also helps to add to the hopeless mood of the story.
I didnt know if there was a blog this vacation....and if there was I totally forgot about it so I'm making it up even if it doesnt count I still wanted to do it. :)
