The Frankenstein Application Essay

Order Description

Can science go too far?
There is an ongoing battle between faith or spirituality and science that has been active even
before the time of Mary Shelley. What are some of the dilemmas she addresses that are still
important today? What are some of the ethical questions she brings up regarding the
scientific definition of life and death? What does she illustrate about the power science has
to blur the line between life and death? What is a current news item that is similar to this
issue?
Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary
Shelley’s Frankenstein address ethical issues of science and/or faith for audiences, regardless
of when they read the novel?”
