Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Genesis 1-3 share common themes, such as the creation of life and the consequences that come with it. In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein creates a being through his scientific experimentation, and the creature's subsequent actions lead to tragedy. In Genesis, God creates Adam and Eve, and their disobedience leads to their expulsion from paradise. Both stories deal with the idea of playing God and the dangers that come with it. This essay will examine the similarities and differences between Frankenstein and Genesis 1-3 and argue that both works caution against the hubris of humans who seek to create life beyond the natural order.
