What sort of words/devices e.g pathetic fallacy, imagery etc has Mary Shelley used in chapter 5?I've got to do a language anaylsis of chapter 5 so...

Early in the chapter, the pathetic fallacy is at work. The
pathetic fallacy is a device in which the weather/setting reflects the emotions of the
characters. In chapter 5, Victor mentions the weather several times; each time, it
connects to his own emotional state. Consider even the first paragraph of the
chapter:

It
was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the
accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to
agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse
a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the
morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and
my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I
saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion
agitated its limbs.

I've
marked in bold the diction that refers to both the weather and Victor's emotional state.
He is anxious, to the point of nearly unbearable pain, and the weather is dreary and
stormy, reflecting his own darkness. This continues throughout the chapter. When Victor
flees the apartment, it is still raining.

I did not dare return to the apartment which I
inhabited, but felt impelled to hurry on, although drenched by the rain which poured
from a black and comfortless
sky.

Note the description of
the sky: "black and comfortless". That is exactly how Victor views the world at that
moment. Tormented by his creation, he sees himself as friendless and alone. These are
some direct examples of the pathetic fallacy in this chapter. As for imagery, there's
many examples throughout the novel. One distinguishing characteristic of Shelley's style
is her overly descriptive narration. In chapter 5, one exemplary scene is Victor's
dream, where his kiss turns Elizabeth, healthy in the prime of life, into the corpse of
his mother. Another use of imagery captures Victor's emotions when thinking about his
creation.

Oh!
No mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again endued with
animation could not he so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished;
he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it
became a thing such as even Dante could not have
conceived.

By comparing the
creature to "a mummy...endued with animation" and a thing unimagined even by Dante,
Victor's true horror is easily grasped by the reader.
