Although Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion‚ it can also be considered a dualistic religion because the belief system of Zoroastrianism believes in good or bad.

critics may argue that Victor does not “play God” in Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. I disagree with this assumption. Mary Shelley makes us consider if something can be done does that mean that it should be done. Victor Frankenstein puts together human and animal pieces to make a single corpse.
