The novel “Frankenstein is written by Marry Shelly.
Her novel has morphed into countless forms in both height brow and popular
culture. Her creation teaches us not to underestimate the power of youth
culture. It is truly captivating powerful novel that analyzes ‘Monstrosity’
with regard to ‘humanity’. However without a sound understanding of the
context, in which the text was written one couldn’t completely comprehend the
themes, ideas and references did not present nor can the apparent link between
monstrosity and humanity be completely fathomed.
In the novel Victor
Frankenstein is the first character, who makes a cultural discourse and who
occupies our attention, a character for whom his desire to create life is
everything while to accept that life is not important. For him the creation
‘Monster’ is not his child and responsibility now. In below given quote we can
see his hunger for knowledge and to create a life through that knowledge:
“The world was to me a secret which I desire
to divine. Curiosity earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature,
gladness akin to rapture, as they were earliest sensation I can remember”
In this novel we can see many cultural elements. I just want to
say that it’s really interesting to study with the purpose of cultural facts.
There some element of worker or labor. We can study some cultural aspect with
the help of Milton’s “Paradise lost”.
