Key learning points: - Many critics read 'Frankenstein' as a criticism of the Scientific Revolution. - The Scientific Revolution ushered in a new era, where assumptions about the natural world were questioned. - Some saw the progress of science as limitless and, in some cases, immoral and unethical. - The novel's alternative title is 'The Modern Prometheus' suggesting that, like Prometheus, Frankenstein stole from God. - 'Frankenstein' could be a warning about what happens when science is not paired with individual moral conscience.\n
