Inception, Novel Style

"Hear my tale; it is long and strange, and the temperature of this place is not fitting to your fine sensations; come to the hut upon the mountain." Pg 70

None of the characters in this novel may not be dreaming, but they taking part in confusing, folded up, story within a story structure. The frame structure of this story is exhibited when one of the characters start telling a story. And then a character in that story starts telling a story. Originally, the sea captain is telling his sister about his life in his letters. Then Victor Frankenstein, a character in his story, starts telling a story about his life. Then the monster, a character in his story, starts telling his story. So we have a three way story going here. The structure is both confusing and interesting at the same time. The inception style to the novel gives it a mysterious and cryptic feel.
