Question

Is there any real science in the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley?

Answer 1

In terms of what we think of as "science," no... However, Mary Shelley definitely explores the science of the family unit. The Monster's longing for that family unit explores psychology/sociology in some ways.  

Answer 2

No, not really, I would call Frankenstein definitely in the fantasy category, rather than sci-fi.

Answer 3

no.  there is certainly a discussion of what constitutes real science when Dr. Frankenstein is talking about his preference of professors.  Remember, there were two of them that had differing views and it discusses the texts that they issued to their students.  but what our boy was actually doing and did, no. definitely not.
