Empathy in frankenstein The sympathy of the reader in Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” should be towards the monster‚ and not towards that of Victor Frankenstein.

This is portrayed through notions of dehumanization‚ monstrosity and redemption‚ of the “indistinguishable” creator and creature relationship. The romanticist Shelly wrote her gothic novel the

Promethian and Faustian Presences in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein A myth may be defined‚ however loosely‚ as an answer to an otherwise unanswerable question‚ in some cases due to the incomprehensibility of such an answer. It cannot be denied that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) poses a number of such unfathomable questions‚ largely concerning that which separates men from gods‚ and the point at which supposedly beneficial ambition becomes mindless and destructive obsession. The best alternative
