Who was Frankenstein?
 Frankenstein; or,
The Modern
Prometheus is a
novel written by
English author Mary
Shelley that tells the
story of Victor
Frankenstein, a
young scientist who
creates a grotesque
but sapient creature
in an unorthodox
Frankenstein as a gothic
fiction?
What is gothic Fiction?
 Gothic fiction, which is largely
known by the subgenre of Gothic
horror, is a genre or mode of
literature and film that combines
fiction and horror, death, and at
times romance.
 Frankenstein is considered a
Gothic novel due to the presence of
evil, mystery, supernatural, dark
aspects of life and the romanticism
associated to the Goth genre.
Frankenstein is considered to be
the first science fiction novel fused
with supernatural terror.
What are the elements of
Gothic literature?
 Here is a list of some common
elements found in Gothic
novels:
 Gloomy, decaying setting
(haunted houses or castles with
secret passages, trapdoors, and
other mysterious architecture)
 Supernatural beings or monsters
(ghosts, vampires, zombies,
giants)
 Curses or prophecies.
 Damsels in distress.
 Heroes.
 Romance.
Frankenstein a science fiction
Novel?
 Mary Shelley's best-
known book is
Frankenstein; or, The
Modern Prometheus
(1818, revised 1831),
a text that is part
Gothic novel and part
philosophical novel; it
is also often
considered an early
example of science
fiction.
What is the setting of
Frankenstein?
 But the brunt of Mary
Shelley's
Frankenstein takes
place in Europe.
Victor Frankenstein
is born in Italy;
raised in Geneva,
Switzerland; and
then goes to
Ingolstadt, Germany,
for his studies - and
that's where he
creates the monster.
