Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus

This novel called Frankenstein, was also
know as The Modern Prometheus.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus was praised by
human - kinds. He used to steal fire from
Zeus and give it to mortals (human - kinds).
Prometheus's punishment, given to him from Zeus, was to be bound to a rock while a giant eagle ate his liver.
Everyday it would grow back, and everyday the great
eagle would eat it. This legend could relate to Frankenstein,
because although the scientist had good intentions,
as did Prometheus, there are consequences to every action.
In both cases Punishment follows greatness.
