Answer 5

the themes in the book will really make the book magic to you if you pick up on them. teachers will be really impressed with you too. here are some of the most important ones:

birth: the creation of the monster is a version of birth, a perversion in fact. the monster is a b*****d child, innocent when born and longing for a parental figure, which the doctor denies. the appearance of the creature further signifies god's superiority to man-the doctor's creation being ugly and imperfect while god's version of birth is more along the lines of beauty and miracle.

science versus the natural world: keep in mind the time the book was written. it was an age of knowledge; men were preoccupied with science to the utmost. shelley portrays science as it goes to far and reaches unnatural and perverted bounds. the doctor's infatuation with his experiments signify the negatives of the scientific man, as well as reflects the actual scientist of the time.

man versus god: the doctor is a classic example of man playing god. the calamitous consequences of this signify the perfection of god, and the imperfection and folly of man. frankenstein exceeds his human bounds, he crosses the line, and as a result ruins his own life and the lives of others.
