Allusions Within Frankenstein Nirav Mehta Dylan Clark Yvonne Soulliere

The Modern Prometheus This is the subtitle of the book and alludes to the play by Percy Shelley, Prometheus Unbound Frankenstein parallels the themes of Prometheus Unbound such as creation and regeneration

Dante’s Inferno When Victor Frankenstein encounters the monster leaving his house/lab, Victor states “…it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived” Frankenstein alludes to Dante’s version of Hell and that the creature is more horrible than something Dante could think of, essentially stating that the creature is more evil than hell itself.

Coleridge’s “Ancient Mariner” In Walton's letter, he states "I am going to unexplored regions, to 'the land of mist and snow;' but I shall kill no albatross, therefore do not be alarmed for my safety" This statement, unfortunately, foreshadows exactly the opposite of what is to happen: the near mutiny of his crew, the appearances of Frankenstein and the Creature.

Ruins of Empires This is the first story that the creature is exposed to (read by Felix). The Creature is exposed to bits of the history of the world, the way that some take advantages of others. Creature wonders how humans can act in such a way, but later uses this to solidify his hatred towards humans when they act in this way towards him.

Paradise Lost When Frankenstein is first addressed by the Creature, the Creature states: “Remember that I am thy creature: I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed." The Creature had found and read a copy of the story and now compares himself to both Adam and Lucifer. He also brings up themes of abandonment and what is owed to child/creation.

Daemon vs Demon Daemon: Good/benevolent supernatural being between mortals and gods Creature is often described as "good and benevolent" but has been corrupted by the ways that humans have treated him. This fits with the Ancient Greek Daemons.

Stoicism Stoics considered destructive emotions to be the result of errors in judgment. Frankenstein, in his mind, made a very large error in judgment by creating the monster. As such, he becomes overwhelmingly consumed with grief and other emotions every time he experiences something that the monster has done.

La Fontaine's Fables The Ass and the Lapdog: The ass sees the lapdog being pet after the lapdog rubs against the owner's leg. It tries to immitate but is shunned. “It was the ass and the lap-dog; yet surely the gentle ass, whose intentions were affectionate, although his manners were rude, deserved better treatment than blows and execration.” Metaphor for Creature, who tries to imitate humans but is hurt and shunned.
