How does Mary Shelley's portrayal of Victor Frankenstein challenge the Enlightenment ideals of reason and rationality?
In what ways does Victor's ambition lead him to create life, and what does this reveal about the potential consequences of unchecked scientific ambition? Consider the implications of his actions not only on himself but also on society as a whole.
In what ways does the creature's journey mirror the search for identity and acceptance?
Discuss how the creature evolves throughout the novel and how his experiences shape his understanding of himself and his place in the world. How does Shelley use the creature's quest for companionship and acceptance to comment on broader themes of alienation and the human condition?
What ethical responsibilities does Victor Frankenstein have toward his creation, and how does his failure to meet these responsibilities influence the outcomes of the story?
Explore the moral implications of creation as presented in the novel. To what extent can Victor be held accountable for the creature's actions, and what does Shelley's narrative suggest about the responsibilities held by those who engage in acts of creation, both scientific and otherwise?
