Mary Shelleys parents were William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft.

Both
of them were noted writers in the 1800s. they married in 1797 to protect the rights
of the forthcoming child, Mary. Four weeks after giving birth Mary W. died of
complications, which is why Mary never knew her mom. Mary Shelley enjoyed
writing at a young age and got books from her fathers library when she was
younger. The influence of her famous fathers home cannot be understated with a
constant stream of writers. It was at Marys home where she developed into a
person of letters, following in the family tradition of writers and thinkers. Mary
then married Percy Bysshe and left England with him for France in June of 1814 to
begin a life together. In February 1815, Mary gave birth to a daughter, who was
born prematurely and who subsequently died in March of the same year. They then
settled in Bishopgate, England and had a second child named William. In the
summer of 1816, at a stop in Switzerland, the couple and Marys stepsister rented a
house near another British writer, Lord Byron. One night Byron suggested the
group wrote ghost stories to pass the time, which is how
Frankenstein had been
made. At first, it was only a few pages, but with the encouragement of Percy, it
became one of the best stories in history. Frankenstein was then published in 1818.

An epistolary novel is a novel written as a series of documents. The usual form is

letters and diary entries.
Luigi Galvani started the theme of electricity as the spark of life that entered
Hollywood. One day Galvani was researching a dissected frog in his laboratory as
an electrical storm raged outside. The frogs leg muscle twitched whenever he
touched it, this made him wonder if, through the air, the lightning could have
exerted some subtle influence on the frogs nerves. In Frankenstein, Victor alludes
to lightning and Galvanism as the basis for resurrecting a lifeless cadaver.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus sided with Zeus helping to overthrow the gods.
Prometheus was the wisest of all the Titans. I'm the form of fire Prometheus is
credited with bringing mankind knowledge and enlightenment. Victor is her

modern incarnation of Prometheus. He as prometheus was, is fascinated by the

Gothic fiction began as a sophisticated joke. Horace Walpole first applied the word
Gothic to a novel in the subtitle -A Gothic Story. When he uses the word it
meant something like barbarous. Gothic novelists usually used A Romance as
their subtitles. Gothic became

dark and scary, such as Frankenstein.

Science fiction is a genre of fiction in which the stories often tell about me science
and technology of the future.
Dracula and The Phantom of the Opera would fit in with the Gothic genre.
Dune
by Frank Herbert and The Eyes of Heisenberg are similar to science
fiction books.
The Ghost of Frankenstein was made in 1942 as a universal film
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man
House of Frankenstein
House of Dracula
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Son of Frankenstein
.. were all created after Mary Shelley published the novel.
How I would describe Frankenstein is ugly with a lot of scars and marks all
over his body. Looks kind of like well, a monster. Abnormal is a good word for it.
