Upon reading this world-celebrated work by British author Mary Shelley, I was struck by the frequent use of the adjective 'wretched' (along with its variances 'wretchedly', 'wretchedness' and of course, the 'wretch' noun) as it is nowadays, not-so-spread out and commonly-used a word.
By using the excellent 'Tagul Cloud Generator' with the full text to the renowned novel available on Project Gutenberg, I was fairly surprised to find out the word in question wasn't even among the 100-most frequent ones in this novel and, if anything, it probably stands out in Shelley's work more down to its strangeness in our present times than to its sheer number of repeats in the text. So I decided to increase Tagul's maximum threshold to 250 and see if it finally showed up. Can you find it? Let us know in the comment session if you did and in which part of the "Frankie face"'s anatomy above you did.
As to important in the whole text, 'man', 'father', 'life' are, in my opinion, no-brainers. But 'friend' and 'love' though, after reading it several years ago, I can still recall most occasions where they were employed in the book, seem a tad out-of-place, don't they?
