The subtitle of Frankenstein is "The Modern Prometheus." Prometheus is a character of Greek
mythology who defies the gods in order to pursue knowledge and suffers serious consequences

ultimately punished for their defiance. Their stories are allegories that convey the idea that those
who intentionally defy divine or natural law bring serious consequences upon themselves and
others
