18. 1 Read
With the publication of Mary W. Shelley`s novel, Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus, in 1818, the mad scientist replaced the evil sorcerer as the master of monsters. In many respects the mad scientist and the evil sorcerer were very similar. They were not necessarily either mad or evil, at least not at first. Often they were brilliant, selfless, and dedicated to the task of acquiring knowledge –for the sorcerer magical knowledge, for the scientist scientific knowledge –that might benefit the human race.

19. Prometheus He is a powerful Greek god called a Titan
The creator of man ( He`s like Dr.Frankenstein)
He stole fire from Mt.Olympus to give to man
“…but this gift angered that gods and they
punished him savagely.”

20. Prometheus He was punished by Zeus, King of the Gods
He was chained to a rock forever
An eagle eats his liver every day
Lines 9-12: Often for the best of motives,
both sorcerer and scientist released great
evil upon the world, and their knowledge
ultimately destroyed them. That is why
Mrs.Shelley chose the subtitle,
Or, the Modern Prometheus, for her book.
