Answer:

Percy Bysshe Shelley's view is more favorable to me.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percy Bysshe Shelley was more faithful to the Prometheus myth in his work "Prometheus Unbound." This is because in "Prometheus Unbound" we are more exposed to the idea that knowledge generates freedom, but it can prevent the freedom of those who generated it, which is more faithful to the myth of Prometheus than the vision that Mary Shelley presents in Frankenstein , although it also addresses the issues of freedom and knowledge, as it focuses more on the ability to generate human life.
