Playing God in Shelley's Frankenstein

Some science believes that science is a man trying to play God, as long as science exists to satisfy human interests in knowledge and exploration. The 19th century was the beginning of philosophical thinking and people were interested in improving themselves in a psychological way. But during this enlightenment and quest, the criteria of Christianity and ethical thinking challenged science and its moral reasoning. Despite tremendous progress in society, the tremendous power of the Church has made people scare the science.

Mary Sherry's Frankenstein is "a pioneering work of contemporary science fiction" and a horrible story about "mysterious fear to our nature". Mary Sherry laughed at the idea of ​​"playing the god", the idea came from Greek myth of Prometheus, the Greek giant stealed the gift of the life of Zeus.

Shelley's title is thus compared with Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster, with the mythical character Prometheus, who shapes humans using clay and gives them firepower. In Shelley's Gothic story, Victor Frankenstein made living creatures in his laboratory through ambiguous methods of chemistry and alchemy. Shelly expressed the monster as 8 feet tall (2.4 m) tall, very ugly, sensitive and emotional. The monster tried to blend into human society but it was avoided, and it led him to seek revenge against Frankenstein.
