The story was written largely in a laudanum induced hedonistic weekend with Lord Byron, his cousin, Percy Bissey Shelley and Mary. They were all talking about the idea of Prometheus… for those who do not know Prometheus was a Titan that faced eternal punishment for giving the gift of “fire” to mankind.

When you think in term of Frankenstein being the Period’s equivalent to a Rick Decker from Bladerunner then you begin to see the significance of the novel. The aspects of Civil Rights and discrimination that was faced at the time it was written for women and for races and social classes.

It is in fact the question… what makes a human being a human being. Are we monsters? But then the monster becomes something more in its ability to show compassion… All the deep philosophical questions.

All in all who would not want to to be a creator of our own reflection :) and who would not want to be a compassionate monster? Esp. when you can do it on a budget :)
