Frankenstein was written in 1816, (thought by many to be the first authoritative science fiction novel) during the age of Romanticism and it tells the story of a selfish man, Victor Frankenstein, whose ambition conducts him to seek for supernatural powers and leads him to death. He is a young scientist, overeager to discover something new, the key to life, help to make scientific advances and let other scientists get a better idea of how the body works and who after canvass chemical processes and the decay of living beings, gains an insight into the creation of like, leading him to create a monster that becomes malicious, in his attempt to reach a God-like level, to see his prepare glorified by humanity.However, I will be concentrating mainly on chapter five as this is the point in the novel where Victors scientific obsession appears to b e a kind of dream but near the end we are left off with the birth of the creature. The horror of his project totally strikes him when it is too late, when the creature itself, comes to life.

This use of pathetic fallacy emphasizes what is about to happen, and gives us a better idea of the mood around, letting us understand what she is trying to say.
