This very gloomy and fictional tale of Frankenstein shows the reaction between a monster and its creator. Taking place during the Industrial Revolution time, it demonstrates a very interesting point about science involved since it was during the times when science was advancing quite quickly with new discoveries, also it makes the readers notice a line between pure science and playing god.

Because still today we apply the same type of science that Victor created in the 1700's, she seemed to be very modernized. Today we have higher technology and more source of electricity we are trying to do artificial intelligence, cloning, DNA, genetics, neuroscience, and stem cells, which Victor was able to do in the past with no source of technology and high electricity that we have today (Baker). The monsters type fears, were because of how the villagers
