"How dare you sport thus with life? Do your duty towards me, and I will do mine towards

you and the rest of mankind. If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and

you at peace; but if you refuse, I will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the

blood of your remaining friends." (Chap 10)

Frankenstein

Although this passage does not include a question, it includes a quote from the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Therefore, I can provide some explanation on the quote.

In this text, we see a conversation between the monster and Victor Frankenstein, its creator. We learn that, upon seeing the monster, Frankenstein welcomes him with extremely hate and promises to kill him. The monster accepts this, and tells us that he was ready for such a welcome, because those who are unhappy are always rejected. Moreover, he reminds Frankenstein of the fact that he has a duty towards him as his creator, and that this is his fault for playing with life (both by creating him and by wanting to destroy him). This highlights one of the themes of the novel, which is the danger of playing with things that are beyond human control and understanding, such as life.

one thousand and one nights, also known as arabian nights is a collection of stories whose basic structure is that of embedded narrative. this technique refers to a main story which works as the common frame - or framing narrative - for the other stories, and then this series of stories which are connected to the main one. this technique can also be referred to as a story within a story. the stories stem from the original tale, some begin and end on their own, some are connected to the previous or following one, by means of questions that are answered in the subsequent tale, or characters which reappear.
