FRANKENSTEIN IN POP CULTURE

OUR FOCUS Is knowledge power? What responsibility do we have with our own knowledge? How is knowledge dangerous? How does nature play into knowledge?

PROMETHEUS In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan, gods who ruled the earth in a golden age. He and his brother, Epimetheus, were tasked with creating humans from clay and fire. Prometheus betrays those of his kind and shares the secret of fire with men, allowing humankind to make great strides of progress. Because of his betrayal, he was said to have quarreled greatly with Zeus and was punished, but escaped ultimate punishment because of rescue by Hercules. In Greek mythology, he is credited with the creation of humankind.

ROMANTICISM Appreciation of common man Interest in the past, the “gothic,” the supernatural, the mystical, and the exotic Respect and reverence of nature (country life over urban settings) Imagination and emotion are more important than logical considerations Attracted to rebellion and revolution (human rights, individuality, freedom from oppression) Emphasis on introspection, psychology, melancholy, and sadness

GOTHIC FICTION (OR GOTHIC HORROR) Terror (not just the physical, but also psychological) Concerned with the supernatural Common elements include death, decay, madness, secrets, big scary castles, dopplegangers, etc. Combined elements of Romanticism Stock characters include tyrants, villains, bandits, maniacs, persecuted maidens, femmes fatales, madwomen, magicians, vampires, werewolves, monsters, demons, dragons, angels, fallen angels, ghosts, perambulating skeletons, and the Devil himself.

EPISTOLARY FICTION Fiction in which the story is told through a series of documents: Journal/diary entries Letters s Examples: Dracula by Bram Stoker, Bridget Jones’ Diary by Helen Fielding, Carrie by Stephen King, Diary by Chuck Palahniuk

THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER Written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and published in 1797 Famous Quotes: “Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” “Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony. “The many men, so beautiful! And they all dead did lie: And a thousand thousand slimy things Lived on; and so did I.”
