3. What is culture?
 (Naun) = The definition of
Culture means a particulour
set of customs, morals, codes
and traditions from as specific
time and place.
 An example of Culture is the
Ancient Greek Civilization.
 Culture is defined as a
highdegree of taste,
knowledge, and interest in
arts, literature and other
scholarly fields.

4. Study of Frankenstein.
• The cultural fears that are represented in Marry
Shelley's 1818 novel freakenstein are concerns
about misuses of technology and interracial
relationship cased by conflicts between what is
culturally or socially accepted and the humanitarian
nature of people.

5. How to use as a
symbol?
 Here, we find cartoon show
and how to use Frankenstein -
as a title of the show,
"Franke."

6. Major conflict in Frankenstein
• The conflict between love and revenge.
• Victor's monstrous creation is also turn apart by
conflict.
• At heart, the monster wants to love and be loved:
his violence is the breathtaking rage of an oversized
and brokenhearted child. So, he pursues revenge
because there is no another way to purge his pain.

7. Continue...

8. The creature Lives!
• Novel has morphed into countless forms in popular
culture, including the visual arts, fiction and
nonfiction, stage plays, flim, television, advertising,
clothing, jewelry, toys, key chains, coffee mugs,
games, Halloween costumes, comic books, jokes,
cartoon, pornography, academic study, fan clubs,
web sites, and even food.
• Shelley's creation teaches us not to understimate
the power of youth culture.

10. Novel as a
symbol.
 Here we can find
that one poster, we
see how to use
Frankenstein as a
symbol of about
gender.
 I have a question,
why this poster on
only talk about 'All
Girl' compares with
Frankenstein?

11. 1) Revolutionary Birth;
• Born like it's creator in an age of revolution,
Frankenstein challenged accepted ideas of its day.
• As it become increasingly Co modified by modern
consumer culture, one wonders whether it's
original revolutionary spirit and it's critique of
scientific, philosophical, political, and gender issues
have become obscured, or whether instead it's
continuing transforming attests to its essential
oppositional nature.

12. Continue...
• George Levine remarks, Frankenstein is "a vital
metaphor, peculiarly appropriate to a culture
dominated by a consumer technology, neurotically
obsessed with 'getting in touch' with it's authentic
self and frightened at what it is discovering."
• 1) The creature as proletarian,
• 2) A Race of Devils,
• 3) From Natural Philosophy,

14. In Frankenstein we find this,
 for example, such female
characters as Mrs. Margaret
Saville, Elizabeth Lavenza,
and Justine Moritz? In this
case the novel will have no
meaning. All the women
help to develop the plot,
and without them
Frankenstein will lose its
spirit.
 So, here we find, according
to traditional culture
womens roles are minor.
