The book that I am reading is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This book was about a scientist who went on a voyage to search the world. Then he meets an unlikely man when his ship was stuck in a frozen wasteland. The man he met was Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Then once meeting him and making him feel welcome Dr. Victor Frankenstein speaks about a story of his life. It was known that before he was in pursuit of another man who was far ahead. Then Dr. Victor Frankenstein goes into speaking of his story to the voyager. Then going into the story he creates a monster that comes to life and walks away. Thus creating a monster he finds out that his younger brother William had been murdered. Victor knew who had murdered his brother because he went to the murder site and during the night in the rain lighting struck to reveal that the monster was watching him. So then and their he knew it was his own creation was the one murderer. After pursuing him even more the monster came to him and began to speak about sympathy..........

Your question seems to be one that frustrates you. Let's think about how the life (the monster) was created? It was manufactured, no? The industrial revolution is about technologies' ability manufacture lots of things with ease....starting to see a connection? How does Shelley portray this tampering with life via the use of science?Let me know if this helps you out. If not, we can definitely meet in class to discuss.
