Frankenstein can be seen as ,,, A warning to man not to mess with God

The amounts of deaths the creation has caused – chain reaction
- God’s punishment
- ‘Destiny was too potent and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction’

Does he create the monsters bride or not? – Already went against God once
- Where does he stop?
- Already worked it out once and would be easy to do again

Belittling God’s powers- God’s powers are unique

God created man, therefore man should be allowed to be intelligent – He created man in his image and if He is capable of creation, why can’t man?
- Under minding religion

The evolution of science – science goes against religion
- Much of this reflects the context of Industrial Revolution, and the simultaneous excitement and threat of new technology

Failed science – experiment going wrong

Subtitled ‘The Modern Prometheus’ à CONTEXT!

‘Great God’ – almost ironic because Victor is currently opposing God’s talent
-blasphemy

if Victor had stood by the monster would he have done what he did

  1. I agree with what you say about god and Victor belittleing him. You could also say like when Victor say's "Great God" he is almost shifting his reponsibilities onto god despite the fact that he is playing the role of god.

    Good ^.^
