Consider the novel Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, written by Mary Shelley, and the following assumptions:
1. The novel is constructed of three concentric layers, one within the other. In the outermost layer, Robert Walton, in his letters to his sister, describes his voyage towards the North Pole and his encounter with Victor Frankenstein. In the main, middle layer, Frankenstein tells Walton how he created the monster and abandoned it in disgust, how it revenged itself by murdering all those he loved and how he finally turned and pursued it. In the very center the monster himself describes the development of his mind after the flight from the laboratory and his bitterness when men reject him.
2. The novel is about a student of natural philosophy who learns the secret of imparting life to a creature constructed from bones he has collected in charnel-houses. The story is not a study of the macabre, as such, but rather a study of how a man uses his power, through science, to manipulate and pervert his own destiny.
3. Frankenstein was written during the Romantic era, which was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 and 1850. Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature, preferring the medieval rather than the classical.
