The dream described in paragraph 3 reflect his experience in the previous paragraph in the following manner:
- In paragraph 2, Victor Frankenstein describes the creature to whom he gave life. It is composed of body parts from different corpses.
- Even though Frankenstein chose everything carefully, so that the creature would be beautiful, it was still horrifying. One could tell it was just a reanimated cadaver.
- That horror haunts him, which is why he dreams of his beloved Elizabeth becoming a corpse in paragraph 3. It is as if Frankenstein has associated beauty with death after creating the monster.
- It can also mean that he associated the outcome of his experience with disgust. He wanted to create this being so much, and it turned out to be horrifying. The same way, he wants Elizabeth so much, but it may turn out to be a disaster.
- In "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, Dr. Victor Frankenstein gathers a bunch of body parts from different corpses, connects them, and gives them life.
- In Chapter 5, he describes how horrifying it was to see his creation. He intended for the creature to be beautiful, but it was still disgusting, strange.
- The creature left such an impression on the doctor that, in his dreams, he saw the woman he loved turn into a corpse as well.
- That can be interpreted as a mere association between two things he desired so much: Elizabeth and the creature.
- What Frankenstein does not know yet is that the dream foreshadows the awful things the creature will do in the future.
