Science in "Frakenstein": Evil or Not?

It was once said by Helen Keller that, "Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings."

Throughout Mary Shelley's book, "Frankenstein", there are numerous references to science …

…lightning is a reoccurring theme in the story. It shows how the monster was created by electricity and Shelley proves this to be a drive of evil. Shelley's character Frankenstein demonstrates how human beings can carelessly act. Frankenstein created life in hopes to be powerful and tried to use his intelligence of science to his benefit. The creation that resulted was a monster taking innocent lives. The scientific creation proved to be an evil act.
