Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, is often regarded as a seminal work of Romantic literature. The novel embodies many of the characteristics and themes associated with the Romantic movement, making it a classic example of a Romantic novel. In this article, we will explore the reasons why Frankenstein can be categorized as a Romantic novel. One of the key aspects of Romantic literature is the focus on individualism and emotions. Frankenstein addresses these themes through the character of Victor Frankenstein, a passionate and ambitious scientist. Driven by his desire for knowledge and glory, Victor becomes consumed by his own creations and the consequences of his actions. The novel delves into the complexities of the human psyche, exploring the range of human emotions such as fear, guilt, and despair. Additionally, Romantic literature often celebrates the beauty and power of nature. In Frankenstein, nature plays a significant role, serving as a backdrop against which the story unfolds. Shelley vividly describes natural landscapes, emphasizing the sublime and awe-inspiring aspects of the natural world. Nature also acts as a source of solace and comfort for some of the characters, contrasting with the dark and destructive nature of Victor's creations. Another characteristic of Romantic literature is the exploration of the supernatural, and Frankenstein incorporates elements of Gothic fiction. The novel introduces the concept of creating life artificially, which challenges the boundaries of science and morality. Victor's creation, often referred to as the "monster," is a symbol of the supernatural and the unknown. This aspect of the story creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, capturing the spirit of Romantic literature. Furthermore, Frankenstein examines the societal and ethical implications of scientific progress, a central concern during the Romantic era. Shelley raises questions about the responsibility of scientists and the potential dangers of unchecked technological advancements. This reflection on the moral implications of science adds depth to the novel and resonates with the Romantic ideals of exploring the consequences of human actions. For those interested in further exploring the themes and impact of Frankenstein, there are several related works worth considering. "Prometheus Unbound" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley's husband, draws inspiration from the Prometheus myth, which is echoed in Frankenstein. Additionally, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson explores similar themes of duality and the pursuit of scientific knowledge. In conclusion, Frankenstein embodies the elements of Romantic literature through its exploration of individualism, human emotions, the power of nature, the supernatural, and ethical considerations. Mary Shelley's masterpiece continues to captivate readers, offering thought-provoking insights into the human condition. To delve deeper into this genre and expand your reading list, we recommend exploring notable Romantic authors such as Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
