Science vs. Nature in Frankenstein
Biography of Mary Shelley
Born- 30 August 1797
Death- 01 February 1851
English Novelist, Short story writer, dramatist,
essayist, biographer and travel writer.
Best known for her Gothic novel “Frankenstein” or “the
Modern Prometheus” (1818)
Historical Novels-Valperga (1823), PerkinWarbeck
(1830)
Apocalyptic Novel-The Last Man (1826)
Final two novels- Ladore (1835) & Faulkner (1837)
Science vs. Nature
 Science related to machinery, lightening and also
technology. Nature related to natural elements and
another meaning of ‘nature’ is human behaviour.
 Victor represents Science and Monster represents
Nature.
 Mary Shelley represents life as “pathetic game”, which
has other meaning than depression, and grief.
 Death of Elizabeth’s parents, the sickness of
Elizabeth, the sickness and death ofVictor’s mother,
murder of William and the beheading of Justine.
 She also represents Nature and life as very pleasant.
This is done by the illustration of love, kindness and
compassion.
 Science and Nature depended upon each other.
 Nature and Science have a life and death relationship.
 Combining life and death into a situation.
 Mary Shelley gives us an idea or warning towards
Science and Scientific knowledge.
 The idea of human nature.
 Victor’s nature represents possession, anxiety, greed
and the desire for supremacy.
 Return to Nature
 Victor is trying to create life artificially to destroy
death itself.
 Victor rises against natural laws.
 Victor is trying to overtake God’s work and power.
 Similarity between him and his creation.
 Both are against their own creators.
 Monster is the another side ofVictor.
 Example of Doctor Faustus and Paradise Lost
 We can conclude that Shelley compares them in a
way which only is not in favour of both Science and
Nature.
