The primary theme is a parallel to the aspect of the Prometheus myth which concentrates on the creation of man by the Titans, transferred and made contemporary by Shelley for British audiences of her time. The subject is that of the creation of life by a scientist, thus bestowing life through the application and technology of medical science rather than by the natural acts of reproduction. The short novel has been adapted into many films and productions ranging from the early versions with [[Boris Karloff]] to later versions including [[Kenneth Branagh]]'s [[Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (film)|1994 film adaptation]].
