The story of Frankenstein is a warning to the discovery of science. Mary Shelley was interested in science and did a lot of research in the 19th century to create this novel “Frankenstein”. Shelley shows the reader how the desire to learn and use knowledge and technology to help humanity and, if not used carefully, can harm and destroy humanity. In Frankenstein, Shelley conveys the role of science through Victor, an isolated scientist. “His vision of the isolated scientist discovering the secrets of life is not a mere fantasy but a plausible prediction of what science might accomplish.” (Mellor,1988:89). Shelley introduces the story of Victor Frankenstein and the discovery of the creature through the use of science and technology. This is a perfect example of incomplete scientific knowledge leading to a burden on one's life. Shelley points out that Victor has a good understanding of the physical world but not the emotional one. Shelley also conveys the nature of humanity through Victor and the creature he created. Victor Frankenstein, thanks to his love for science, created a creature with human qualities, but larger in size. The creature has emotions, feelings of joy, pain and happiness. The creature is rejected by humanity due to its imposing appearance. The creature was without company. The creature transforms into a monster, Victor then decides to destroy the monster, but in turn the monster threatens Victor to create a companion for him. Victor is between two responsibilities. The first responsibility is towards his creation and the second responsibility towards humanity, which is now afraid. Victor ultimately decided not to create another creature as a companion. The monster finds himself isolated due to his massive appearance, but tries to interact with DeLacey's family. The monster educates himself but still feels neglected. At this point, the monster brought misery to the creator Victor. Shelley uses Victor to demonstrate that science is good to know, but the consequences are uncontrollable. It is obvious that the story is a rejection of romantic literature. Shelly used the monster to warn the rest of the world about the problems created by the evils of science and its developments. Science is an important topic in Shelley's time, but she thinks it creates evil and is not important in everyday life. "He used this knowledge to both analyze and criticize the most dangerous implications of the scientific method and its practical results" (Mellor, 1988:89).
