The reason why this epic prevails is because it is one of the oldest stories known in literature. The epic of Gilgamesh presents the story of a hero-king and his doomed friend, where the themes of love, death, loss, and personal growth take place.

was entrenched in both texts and imagery, through depictions of invented monsters. I will argue how the “monsters” were significant to introduce negative stereotypes, which unpins the characterisation of difference, in relation to race.

Based on the influence of the Romantic era on Shelley, as well as her decision to allude to the Prometheus myth in the title, I believe the narrative in Frankenstein will quickly become very grim and full of violent deaths, as Victor is punished for trying to play God. Shelley was a writer during the Romantic
However, because of gender their lives and experiences differed. In Jacbob’s situation, “He peopled my young mind with unclean images, such as only a vile monster could think of.
