With the help of TagCrowd, we took a look at word choice and frequency within three different versions of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818 Edition, 1818 Thomas Edition, and 1831 Edition). Listed below are some abridged results, focusing primarily on the words that that achieved the highest frequency of use:
1818 Edition:
Friendship (3 occurences)
Creature (2 occurences)
1818 Thomas Edition:
Deep (3 occurences)
Friend (3 occurences)
Creature (2 occurences)
1831 Edition:
Converse (3 occurences)
Creatures (3 occurences)
Spoke (3 occurences)
Man (3 occurences)
Friend (3 occurences)
Based on this brief comparison of texts, one can see that Shelley did not curtail her writing with every passing edition, but rather, she expanded and developed the storyline and its previous concepts.
