Themes of Revenge
• In Frankenstein, revenge becomes the solution for both victor and his monster.
Question About Revenge
A. How does revenge create tragedy in Frankenstein?
B. Who started it? Who finished it?C. How does revenge give both the monster
and victor a purpose in life?D. So, the story ends with the monster
declaring he’s going to do die. But we never actually see that happen. What is the effect of this?
Nature as a revitalist Call of duty Nature vs. Science (the natural vs. the
unnatural) Repetition of the use of Heaven Inside vs. outside Passion Social acceptance and Belonging
Queer theory
Another major theme in Frankenstein deal with queer theory.
In queer theory, the text in Frankenstein is examined from a different standpoint.
What is different between science and nature?
