A. Why do you think Mary Shelley chose this alternative title?

 

In some stories he is the creator of the first man from earth and he stole fire from Zeus to bring it to humans. Probably Mary Shelley saw a relation between Prometheus and Dr. Frankenstein, because Dr.Frankenstein had also been the first creating a new life (the creature) and he also challenged god. This can be a reason why Mary chose “The modern Prometheus”.

​

B. Do you think Prometheus is good (he gave fire to humans) or bad (he disobeyed the gods)?

​

 I think Prometheus is good because he gave fire to humans challenging his own people and he does it knowing that this act is going to have bad consequences.
