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.
