It cannot be denied that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) poses a number of such unfathomable questions‚ largely concerning that which separates men from gods‚ and the point at which supposedly beneficial ambition becomes mindless and destructive obsession. The best alternative

The analogy between rocky deserted caves and the witches’ homes is revealing. It decodes the early dwellers of such places. Primitive people
