Read this line from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley:

I passed the night wretchedly. Sometimes my pulse beat so quickly and hardly that I felt the palpitation of every artery; at others, I nearly sank to the ground through languor and extreme weakness.

Considering the use of the word weakness in this line, what is the most likely meaning of the word languor?

Respuesta :

Languor means to wobble around to be weak through out the body.

Because the word "weakness" is used next to the word "languor" in a way that implies they are related, we can assume that the meanings are very similar.

In fact, the word "languor" refers to physical exhaustion, weakness or laziness. Therefore, we would be right in assuming it has a similar meaning to that of "weakness."
