The subtitle of Frankenstein is "The Modern Prometheus." Prometheus is a character of Greek

mythology who defies the gods in order to pursue knowledge and suffers serious consequences

Like Prometheus, Frankenstein chooses to defy nature by using his scientific knowledge to create

life and, in the process, gives life to a mutant being. Both Prometheus and Frankenstein are

ultimately punished for their defiance. Their stories are allegories that convey the idea that those

who intentionally defy divine or natural law bring serious consequences upon themselves and

others
