    Frankenstein Novel Help!

    Conflict in a novel creates more than just interest. In what ways can conflict be interpreted as the most important literary element in Frankenstein?

    Hi mattmartin, perhaps start with listing the different conflicts in the novel. There is the conflict between Frankenstein and the monster, Frankenstein and himself, the monster conflict of good and evil, the overall conflict of Man/Science and God. How do these things define the story? How are they important, what do they mean, what impact do they have on the novel or your own thoughts as you read?

    I think Frankenstein was a ground breaking advancement in the science fiction genre of the century in which it was published.. It stands strong on its originality.. For our gen that has seen many Zombie movies this might come out as just another such story, but when you think of that book as the first of its kind during those days must be ingenious..


    I haven't read the book yet. But i think the conflict in the book according to me was that the Man trying to outdo the nature will have its effects adversely.. This is depicted in a very good way in the story.

    Well I don't know it is the fact that one can create a monster human lookalike is conflict. The concept of creationism in a lab under a form of human lookalike is conflict for all the bad reasons of course.
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Surely you must have some, if you've read the novel.
