Prometheus and Frankenstein are similar in many ways‚ such as their actions and results of creating humans. But they are also very different in personality. Prometheus parallels Victor Frankenstein greatly. Victor’s work by creating man is the same innovative work done by Prometheus in creating human beings.

Frankenstein Have you ever heard about monsters? I’m sure that everyone in the world has heard about this term.

Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein seems to be an exact representation of the ideas of the 17th century philosopher John Locke.

Themes Throughout the novel many different themes can be found. The two themes that struck out to me most are monstrosity and secrecy. The story is filled with monstrous acts‚ thoughts and people.

monster is evil‚ inhumane‚ and lacks remorse or caring for things that a normal‚ emotional human being should care for. The term monster lacks what many believe to be the necessary requirements someone needs to be considered human. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein‚ there is such a being that many times was called a creature because he lacked the physical characteristics necessary to be recognized by those around him as a human being.
