Mary Shelley's Novel
To begin, the purpose of Mary Shelley’s novel is to entertain her readers and audience. This novel is entertaining because a man named Victor Frankenstein is researching to create a human being. Victor Frankenstein had studied so that he “could bring something to life” (Shelley 28). He had studied for a while with different experiments and then finally started to work on a body. It was entertaining for this book to come out when these types of things were happening in the University. I believe Mary Shelley purposefully wrote this book when she did so that she could have her audience wonder if they were actually doing that there. Some people thought that this was actually happening in that place. Although not a lot of people were sure about what had been going on there, Mary Shelley made sure to have her audience entertained.
