2. The Theme Of Dangerous Knowledge
In the novel Frankenstein, the pursuit of knowledge by the main characters of Victor, Walton, and even the monster sometimes proves to be dangerous and problematic.

3. Example 1
Tuck Everlasting: A family finds out that they can become immortal by drinking from a spring. They come to realize that being immortal isn’t as great as it seems. The privacy of the family is put into jeopardy, because a man is wanting to sell the spring water to the locals. If the family had never found the immortal spring water they wouldn’t have to deal with the issue.

4. Example 2
Limitless- this is a movie where there is a pill that allows a person to use 100% of their mind.

5. Thesis Statement
In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, dangerous knowledge is represented by the creature learning to talk, the creature realizing what a family is, and the monster learning how to manipulate Victor to get what he wanted, therefore this proves knowledge to be dangerous and problematic.
