Why is Frankenstein so good?

• More than a horror story; philosophical

• Morally complex characters

• Throughout the novel, Shelley presents the reader with profound questions about:– The role of science in society– Positive/destructive sides of human nature

Frankenstein: Time & Place

• Setting: late 1700s• Switzerland, Germany and the Arctic• Scientific breakthroughs at the time• Entertainment similar to today’s horror
