Who should NOT be viewed as Prometheus in Shelley's "Frankenstein" ?

Correct answer: A. Frankenstein's monster

  • A. Frankenstein's monster
  • B. Mary Shelley
  • C. Robert Walton
  • D. Frankenstein

Explanation

Victor, Walton, and even Mary Shelley can be read as Promethean figures because they pursue or create knowledge and challenge limits. Frankenstein's monster is primarily the created being rather than the Promethean creator, so he is the exception.
