Relating the creation of monster to Romanticism

Frankenstein is a science fiction written by Mary Shelley. It is a story about the eccentric scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment, and it includes many motifs related to romanticism. Romanticism is always about conflicts between science and spirituality, the imagination over reason, emotions and etc. Frankenstein is an individual who went beyond society's norms to bring enlightenment back to us poor mortals. Creating a grotesque creature is an unreasonable and unimaginable thing for that moment of society. Here, we can easily see the conflict between science or social norms and spirituality from this eccentric scientist. Also, the techniques of creating monster seem to be impossible for that moment, so that the creative experiment of grotesque giant is the imagination over reason. After Frankenstein has created the monster, his emotions change a lot. He has worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this he has deprived himself of rest and health. He has desired it with an ardor that far exceeded moderation; but when he has finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled his heart. From the above, the change of emotion of Frankenstein proves that there are signs of romanticism, which are related to emotions.
