The article is telling us that the story of Frankenstein is identical to many myths because Frankenstein is a story that is paradoxical to life and death. The monster is someone who is portrayed as a hero and a villain at the same time. The reason why Frankenstein has been beloved for years is because of the history of the 19th century that Mary Shelley incorporated in her novel. The romanticism contained in the novel and the idea of the monster being shunned by society and also Victor Frankenstein who is trapped between doing the right thing and doing what he wants.
