The subtitle of Frankenstein is “The Modern Prometheus.” Prometheus is a character of Greek mythology who defies the gods in order to pursue knowledge and suffers serious consequences. Like Prometheus, Frankenstein chooses to defy nature by using his scientific knowledge to create life and, in the process, gives life to a mutant being.
