Whenever we hear the tale of Frankenstein‚ our natural instinct is to demonize the creature himself. We’ve heard of his heinous acts and known of his unnatural upbringing; yet‚ we never question the origins of his trivial motives.

Compare the ways in which ambition is presented in Act 1 of ‘Macbeth’ and chapter 5 of ‘Frankenstein’.

In my opinion this special technique is very important‚ because Wells shows the reader that the story takes place in Victorian England‚ in a world of gas lamps‚ ciagars and men who really have the time to talk about topics like the fourth

I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished‚ the beauty of the dream vanished‚ and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.” (Shelley‚ 1831‚ p. 74 (Chapter V – Paragraph 3). Victor is the protagonist in Frankenstein. He created the “monster‚” and then realizes he has gone too far in the quest for knowledge. The rejection that Victor has for the monster is instantaneous; this rejection stirs a hatred for humankind from the monster

Shelley herself lived a tragic life‚ but in that life of misery came a masterpiece of literature that would last for two centuries‚ Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus.

The tale itself follows a mad scientist who is “drunk on knowledge and possibility” (Franklin Web) that created
