Its two central characters, the scientist Victor Frankenstein and the being he creates, have gained mythic status in their own right. Engaging with the novel's characterization is crucial to gaining a real understanding of its themes and contexts, including education, gender difference, imperialism, personal identity, revolutionary politics, and science. This study includes: an introductory overview of the novel, including a brief account of its historical and literary contexts; its reception history; discussion of the major themes and narrative structure; detailed analysis of, the representation of main characters, such as Walton, Frankenstein, and the creature; and a conclusion reminding students of the links between the characters and the key themes and issues. 410 0$aContinuum character studies. 606 $aFrankenstein, Victor (Fictitious character) 606 $2Literary studies: general 606 $aHorror tales, English$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aFrankenstein, Victor (Fictitious character) 615 0$aHorror tales, English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a823.7 700 $aHiggins$b David Minden$f1974-$01600897 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820910503321 996 $aFrankenstein$93924238 997 $aUNINA
