Question

Which of the following statements about Frankenstein are correct?

The novel was written during a period of scientific and political upheaval.

The story was written by a young woman with little formal education.

The themes and plot of the novel are considered widely irrelevant in modern times.

Both the monster and his creator share the name "Frankenstein."

Answer 1

Frankenstein was written during a period of scientific and political change by Mary Shelley, a young woman with enriched intellectual exposure. The novel's themes are still relevant, and only Victor, the creator, is named Frankenstein, not the monster.

Step-by-step explanation:

The novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley was indeed written during a period of significant scientific and political upheaval. Shelley was a young woman when she wrote Frankenstein, and although she had little formal education, she was highly educated by her father and had access to many intellectual resources due to her parentage and her association with prominent figures like Percey Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. It's incorrect to say that the themes and plot of Frankenstein are widely irrelevant in modern times, as the novel's exploration of human ambition, ethics in science, and the consequences of isolation continue to resonate. Also, it is only Frankenstein's creation that is often mistakenly referred to as 'Frankenstein'; in reality, the creator's name is Victor Frankenstein, and the monster itself does not have a name. The novel's themes, such as the repercussions of a 'faulty education' and the pursuit of knowledge, have been analyzed for their contributions to the tragedy of Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Frankenstein also utilizes different narrative forms, including letters and journal entries, which adds depth to the storytelling.
