Hey /lit/, I've recently read Mary Shelleys Frankenstein

If you hope to be an English major you have to learn to do this yourself.

Really? You can't think of a single thing in fucking Frankenstein to write about?

Write about how Frankenstein is garbage because it was written by a woman

Dude...Frankenstein is Themes: the book

What the others have said so far is true.

One concept I came across when studying Frankenstein that I liked is viewing the text as a sort of Frankenstein's monster in itself in that it relies so heavily on literary allusion, it is almost like a work comprised of piecing together other works like the monster is pieced together. The entire thing is generally an homage to both Paradise Lost and Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. It also alludes heavily to the Greek myths of Prometheus as well as Percy Shelley's Prometheus Unbound (the alternate title is, after all, The Modern Prometheus). Allusions to The Sorrows of Young Werther and Plutarch's Lives are also significant.

Oh and one entire chapter, and the beginning of the next if I remember correctly (chapters 10-11 or somwhere thereabouts) are a blatant prose retelling of Percy Shelley's poem Mont Blanc.
