How did romanticism influence Frankenstein?
What is romanticism? A 19th-century vision of life that found expression in literature, music and the visual arts. Intense emotions and the individual are central in this outlook. The Romantic is discontent with society.
How did mythology influence Frankenstein? The subtitle is 'or, The Modern Prometheus'. Frankenstein is in a way a metaphor for Prometheus: Don't alter the status quo, you and society will all be punished for it.
How did science influence Frankenstein? In the Romantical era, science was looked upon sceptically, but it happened anyway. Frankenstein is a cautionary tale of dreaming too big within science and Victor is a metaphor for Europe's revived interest in science.
How did gothic devices influence Frankenstein? The story is seen as the first ever gothic novel. This genre encompasses unease, eerie, the grotesque, and the fear of oblivion
