Frankenstein as a modern Prometheus
Victor Frankenstein is likened to the titan Prometheus from Greek mythology. In the story, Prometheus steals fire from Mount Olympus to bring knowledge and enlightenment to mankind, and is punished severely as a result. Similarly, Victor becomes fascinated with electricity and the power to create life, leading to the creation of the monster which brings him inner torture and suffering that mirrors Prometheus' eternal punishment. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein novel is seen as mimicking the Prometheus myth.

Identity
Baraiya Bhavna P. is a second year student with Roll Number 3 studying in the year 2012-13. The document discusses how identity is socially constructed and dependent on one's relationships and roles within a social context.

This document summarizes key elements and themes from Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot. It discusses how:
1) The play presents a logical problem as the two main characters do not remember what they did the day before and fail to recognize their surroundings.
2) Nothing new happens in Act II as scenes repeat themselves and the characters suffer from memory loss, unaware of the repetition.
3) The tramps try to stay occupied by engaging in trivial activities and conversations to pass the time but ultimately remain in the same place.
4) They are codependent on each other for company to endure their meaningless existence.
5) The play emphasizes how waiting is a universal human experience

He is horrified by his creation and rejects it, leaving the creature to face societal rejection. This causes the creature to seek revenge against Victor. The story is framed through a series of letters written by Robert Walton, who rescues Victor while exploring the Arctic. Frankenstein is considered an early example of science fiction and examines themes of scientific hubris, parental neglect, the consequences of rejection, and other philosophical ideas from the Enlightenment and Romantic periods. It is seen as a cautionary tale about scientific progress

It also examines Fanon's rejection of Darwinism and ideas of inferiority complexes developed by colonized people and nations.

“Man Can be destroy not defeated”- How it proved Wrong in mourning becomes E...
The document compares two novels, The Old Man and the Sea and Mourning Becomes Electra. The Old Man and the Sea depicts a common man who finds self-trust, passion for life, and ultimately victory, while Mourning Becomes Electra shows a lack of self-trust and passion that leads to destruction and defeat of the main character.
Literary Criticism
Baraiya Bhavna P. was a student in Sem 2 of 2012-13 with Roll No. 3. The document discusses post-structuralism and deconstruction, explaining that post-structuralism dismantles the idea of a universal structure to reality and that deconstruction reveals the slippery nature of concepts like truth, meaning, and author by reading texts against themselves. Deconstruction analyzes texts to undo hierarchical oppositions and subordinations rather than destroying texts.
