Although there is slight ambiguity here, I believe &#8220;the modern Prometheus&#8221; is Victor Frankenstein and not the monster* he created. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prometheus#Hesiod_and_the_Theogony_and_Works_and_Days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How about a brief recap of the story of Prometheus?<\/a><\/strong> What is the relationship to the novel and the overall, big picture for science and technology?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*The creature isn&#8217;t really a monster as we learn. He&#8217;s a golem that wasn&#8217;t cultivated but scorned by humanity. It became what people said it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Captain Walton&#8217;s Adventure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Captain Walton parallels Victor Frankenstein&#8217;s story because Walton also sets out on a perilous endeavor that, if taken to its &#8220;logical&#8221; conclusion in light of Shelley&#8217;s warning, will destroy him. Let&#8217;s consider some of themes. As usual, we&#8217;ll avoid controversial subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Feminist Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me set the stage for you. Capt. Walton wants to show he&#8217;s a big boy and can do something great. The actual &#8220;great&#8221; thing isn&#8217;t specified, but it&#8217;s most likely a generic substitution for conquest or getting somewhere first. Mary Shelley was no stranger to (proto-)feminism, and the novel comments on science, technology, and adventure being male-dominated activities. A reading on this is that Shelley wants readers not to ignore women&#8217;s contributions to humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;A youth passed in solitude, my best years spent under your gentle and feminine fosterage, has so refined the groundwork of my character that I cannot overcome an intense distaste to the usual brutality exercised on board ship.&#8221; (Preface, Letter II, para. 4)<\/li><li>&#8220;How gladly I would sacrifice my fortune, my existence, my every hope, to the furtherance of my enterprise. <strong><font color=\"red\">One man&#8217;s life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge<\/font><\/strong> which I sought; for the dominion I should acquire and transmit over the elemental foes of our race.&#8221;&nbsp;(Preface, Letter V, para. 2)<\/li><li>Victor tells Capt. Walton, &#8220;You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that <strong><font color=\"red\">the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you<\/font><\/strong>, as mine has been.&#8221; (Preface, Letter VI, para. 1)<\/li><li>&#8220;[Victor&#8217;s mother] presented Elizabeth to me as her promised gift, I, with childish seriousness, interpreted her words literally, and looked upon Elizabeth as mine&#8211;mine to protect, love, and cherish&#8230;.till death she was to be mine only.&#8221; (Chapter 1, para. 11)<\/li><li>&#8220;Elizabeth was of a calmer and more concentrated disposition&#8230;.She busied herself with following the aerial creations of the poets; and in the majestic and wondrous scenes which surrounded our Swiss home&#8211;the sublime shapes of the mountains; the changes of the seasons; tempest and calm; the silence of winter, and the life and turbulence of our Alpine summers&#8211;she found ample scope for admiration and delight.&#8221;&nbsp;(Chapter 2, para. 1)<\/li><li>&#8220;I was capable of a more intense application, and <strong><font color=\"red\">was more deeply smitten with the thirst for knowledge<\/font><\/strong>&#8230;.Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature&#8230;are among the earliest sensations I can remember.&#8221; (Chapter 2, para. 1)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The last two points show Victor&#8217;s cold, but inquisitive, scientific mind and Elizabeth&#8217;s humanistic lens to view the world. Later in the novel (end of Ch. 9 and beginning of Ch. 10), Victor states the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;The immense mountains and precipices that overhung me on every side&#8211;the sound of the river raging among the rocks, and the dashing of the waterfalls around, spoke of a power mighty as Omnipotence&#8211;and I ceased to fear, or to bend before any being less almighty than that which had created and ruled the elements.&#8221; (Chapter 9, para. 13)<\/li><li>&#8220;Through the silent working of immutable laws&#8230;.These sublime and magnificent scenes afforded me the greatest consolation that I was capable of receiving. They elevated me from all littleness of feeling; and although they did not remove my grief, they subdued and tranquillised it.&#8221; (Chapter 10, para. 1)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the presence of what he believes an omnipotent deity created, he is humbled and serene, feeling bad for his attempt to &#8220;overstep&#8221; his bounds as a mortal. The term <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/hubris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>hubris<\/strong><\/a> is important for literature. One pushes on to lofty goals only to allow pride (usually&#8230;arrogance, too) to drive one&#8217;s ambition, which brings them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thirst for Scientific Knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn&#8230;still my inquiries were directed to the metaphysical, or, in its highest sense, the physical secrets of the world.&#8221;&nbsp;(Chapter 2, para. 4)<\/li><li> At 13, Victor travels to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thonon-les-Bains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Thonon<\/strong><\/a> (on Lake Geneva) for a family trip, &#8220;a party of pleasure and baths,&#8221; and has to spend a day confined to the Inn because of the weather.  (Chapter 2, para. 7) {sound familiar&#8230;?}<ul><li>He learns about the occultist <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heinrich_Cornelius_Agrippa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cornelius Agrippa<\/a>, spurring him to seek out similar mystics, such as the alchemists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Paracelsus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paracelsus<\/a> and (the assumed-to-be alchemist) <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Albertus_Magnus#Alchemy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Albertus Magnus<\/a>. (Chapter 2, para. 9) <\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>&#8220;My father was not scientific, and <strong><font color=\"red\">I was left to struggle with a child&#8217;s blindness<\/font><\/strong>, added to a student&#8217;s thirst for knowledge.&#8221;&nbsp;(Chapter 2, para. 11)<\/li><li>&#8220;I was occupied by exploded systems, mingling, like an unadept, a thousand contradictory theories, and floundering desperately in a very slough of multifarious knowledge, <strong><font color=\"red\">guided by an ardent imagination and childish reasoning<\/font><\/strong>.&#8221; (Chapter 2, para. 12)<ul><li>Here we learn that he investigated without proper guidance from established scientists.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>&#8220;[Henry Clerval&#8217;s] father was a narrow-minded trader, and saw idleness and ruin in the aspirations and ambition of his son. Henry deeply felt the misfortune of being debarred from a liberal education.&#8221; He had a &#8220;firm resolve not to be chained to the miserable details of commerce.&#8221; (Chapter 3, para. 5)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice how Victor dismisses commerce&#8211;an allusion to practical endeavors&#8211;in favor of pure science or knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Remember, the Time Traveller&#8217;s friends in the film encouraged him to follow commercial, practical endeavors (well, endeavours&#8211;HA!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peer Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;M. Krempe, professor of natural philosophy. He was an uncouth man, but deeply <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/imbue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">embued<\/a><\/strong> in the secrets of his science.&#8221;&nbsp;(Chapter 3, para. 9)<ul><li> M. Krempe denounced Victor&#8217;s inquisitiveness &#8220;with exploded systems and useless names,&#8221; claiming he &#8220;must begin [his] studies entirely anew.&#8221;  (Chapter 3, para. 10)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>&#8220;M. Krempe was a little squat man, with a gruff voice and a repulsive countenance; the teacher, therefore, did not prepossess me in favour of his pursuits.&#8221; (Chapter 3, para. 12)<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/collectionimages.npg.org.uk\/large\/mw66653\/Marty-Feldman-as-Igor-in-Young-Frankenstein.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">There&#8217;s another character who has these traits in the Frankenstein universe&#8230;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>&#8220;I had a contempt for the uses of modern natural philosophy. <strong><font color=\"red\">It was very different when the masters of the science sought immortality and power; such views, although futile, were grand: but now the scene was changed<\/font><\/strong>. The ambition of the inquirer seemed to limit itself to the annihilation of those visions on which my interest in science was chiefly founded. <strong><font color=\"red\">I was required to exchange <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/chimera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chimeras<\/a> of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth<\/font><\/strong>.&#8221; (Chapter 3, para. 12)<ul><li>Victor commits his biggest mistake&#8230;skips class.

Waldman tells Victor, &#8220;The labours of men of genius, however erroneously directed, scarcely ever fail in ultimately turning to the solid advantage of mankind.&#8221; (Chapter 3, para. 17)<\/li><li>M. Waldman advises Victor on his studies: &#8220;A man would make but a very sorry chemist if he attended to that department of human knowledge alone. If your wish is to become really a man of science, <strong><font color=\"red\">and not merely a petty experimentalist<\/font><\/strong>, I should advise you to apply to every branch of natural philosophy, including mathematics.&#8221;&nbsp;(Chapter 3, para. 18)<\/li><li>&#8220;Two years passed in this manner, during which I paid no visit to Geneva&#8230;.In other studies you go as far as others have gone before you, and there is nothing more to know; but <strong><font color=\"red\">in a scientific pursuit there is continual food for discovery and wonder<\/font><\/strong>&#8230;.I made some discoveries in the improvement of some chemical instruments which procured me great esteem and admiration at the university.&#8221; (Chapter 4, para. 2)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At the exclusion of his family and other endeavors, Victor goes head first into his research. He&#8217;s good, but he has few peers. Why is that important to mention? Why might having peers to talk with be important for scientists and other researchers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Creator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. <strong><font color=\"red\">No father<\/font><\/strong> could claim the gratitude of his child so completely as I should deserve theirs.&#8221; (Chapter 4, para. 8)<\/li><li>&#8220;I beheld the wretch &#8212; the miserable monster whom I had created&#8230;. the demoniacal corpse to which I had so miserably given life.&#8221; (Chapter 5, para. 3)<\/li><li>Victor travels back home to a frightful encounter. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/Technische+Hochschule+Ingolstadt+THI,+Esplanade+10,+85049+Ingolstadt,+Germany\/Lausanne,+Switzerland\/Geneva,+Switzerland\/@47.4801219,7.7548952,8z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m20!4m19!1m5!1m1!1s0x479efe4d7632ff47:0x230ffbe4e5c7c25!2m2!1d11.4319336!2d48.7667775!1m5!1m1!1s0x478c293ecd89a7e5:0xeb173fc9cae2ee5e!2m2!1d6.6322734!2d46.5196535!1m5!1m1!1s0x478c650693d0e2eb:0xa0b695357b0bbc39!2m2!1d6.1431577!2d46.2043907!3e0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out the Map<\/a><\/strong>.<ul><li>&#8220;During this short voyage I saw the lightnings playing on the summit of Mont Blanc in the most beautiful figures.&#8221; (Chapter 7, para. 23)<br>I think <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Mont+Blanc\/@0,0,3a,75y,272.85h,83.47t\/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s-HjYXne2TZ1M%2FVjTzPg_qAxI%2FAAAAAAAAA9U%2FuDTra1LsZgsuMteACkf3qfpyrHmRAQ2WACJkC!2e4!3e11!6s%2F%2Flh6.googleusercontent.com%2F-HjYXne2TZ1M%2FVjTzPg_qAxI%2FAAAAAAAAA9U%2FuDTra1LsZgsuMteACkf3qfpyrHmRAQ2WACJkC%2Fw234-h106-k-no-pi-2.9999962-ya33.5-ro-0-fo100%2F!7i10240!8i5120!4m5!3m4!1s0x4789459fb534be51:0xa908728c5dcec4c0!8m2!3d45.8326227!4d6.8651788!6m1!1e1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mont Blanc&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong> a bit far away&#8230;<\/li><li>&#8220;A flash of lightning illuminated the object, and discovered its shape plainly to me; its gigantic stature, and the deformity of its aspect, more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly informed me that it was the wretch, the filthy daemon, to whom I had given life.&#8221; (Chapter 7, para. 25)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Golem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;I had been the author of unalterable evils; and I lived in daily fear, lest the monster whom I had created should perpetrate some new wickedness.

How strange, I thought, that the same cause should produce such opposite effects!&#8221; (Chapter 11, para. 6)<\/li><li>&#8220;Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous and magnificent, yet so vicious and base? He appeared at one time a mere <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/scion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scion<\/a><\/strong> of the evil principle, and at another as all that can be conceived of noble and godlike.&#8221;(Chapter 13, para. 15)<\/li><li>&#8220;But where were my friends and relations? <strong><font color=\"red\">No father had watched my infant days, no mother had blessed me with smiles and caresses<\/font><\/strong>.&#8221; (Chapter 13, para. 21)<\/li><li>&#8220;I was unformed in mind; I was dependent on none and related to none. &#8216;The path of my departure was free;&#8217; and there was none to lament my annihilation.&#8221;&nbsp;(Chapter 15, para. 5)<\/li><li>&#8220;<strong><font color=\"red\">Many things I read surpassed my understanding and experience<\/font><\/strong>.

The monster&#8217;s father abandoned him and there was no one to nurture or teach him. Shelley&#8217;s mother, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mary_Wollstonecraft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mary Wollstonecraft<\/a><\/strong>, wanted to make sure women were educated in order to be better partners to men (that was a major justification for her argument for more women&#8217;s rights). It&#8217;s likely that Shelley is warning scientists and inventors&#8211;nearly universally male in the early 19th Century&#8211;not to impose a single gendered lens on their endeavors.
