About this listen
In this episode of the Frankenstein Revision Masterclass, we explore how Mary Shelley turns Enlightenment ambition into Gothic warning. Victor’s pursuit of science shows his hubris and desire to conquer nature, while the subtitle The Modern Prometheus signals his downfall. Shelley then reveals the consequences of forbidden knowledge: the Creature’s corruption through rejection, the silencing of women such as Justine and Elizabeth, and Victor’s nightmare and storm imagery as symbols of guilt and nature’s power.
