The Story of Prometheus
The full title of Frankenstein is Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus. It would be worth knowing a little bit about who Prometheus is and why Frankenstein is a modern version of him. So, who is he? (Besides a Titan who gets to be chained to a mountain having his liver pecked at by an eagle for years.)
I will say that Prometheus was a Titan from Greek Mythology who played an important role in the development of the Human Race. I’ll give you a few sites to search (feel free to find others) and you’re going to answer the questions below:
Summary of Greek Creation Myth

4. Do you think that human beings would’ve been okay on their own if he had not interfered? Support your conclusion.
