Frankie Stein 2

In 1818, Mary Shelley wrote the story of Frankenstein. Frankenstein is a story about a bright but misguided scientist who wants to create a permanent cure against illness and death. He actually takes parts of cadavers and reanimates the cadaver. The creature is like a alien in a foreign world. Eventually the creature turns on its creator. 1818 was also the beginning of the industrial revolution, which leads me to believe that Shelley is commenting that advancements in science and technology may actually lead to destruction instead of a more harmonious world. If one were to live in an era where such "improvements" were made one could only be skeptical about such things.
