I noticed something interesting in Frankenstein. It's an ironic twist.
Part of what the author is doing is giving us a warning of what can happen when man tries to break the laws of nature, or tries to take the role of God in creating life.
What's ironic about this is Romanticism celebrates breaking rules and striking out on a bold course. Frankenstein is a Romantic work that is giving self commentary about its own style in this me.
