The 1818, 1818 Thomas, and 1831 versions of Frankenstein: 
Are they different novels? The themes seem to be different in all three novels. When each of the members of my group put the texts into TagCrowd, the most frequent words all changed. In my version (the 1831 version), the most frequent words were CONVERSE, CREATURES, MAN, FRIEND, and SPOKE. It is strange that converse and spoke are both present three times in this particular text, considering they both have the same general meaning. It seems as if this text is really a narrative, trying to get across the narration of the conversation between Victor and Mr. Walton. While I do not think the three versions are different novels, they seem to be contributing different themes to the text.
