This capstone paper is a culmination of the nearly a year’s worth of research into the topic of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. With help from LTC Ticen, I set out to explain how societal fears have changed during the last 200 years, and with that explain how the story of Frankenstein evolved right beside of them. With the use of both the original work from 1818 and the 2019 film adaptation entitled Depraved, I sought to compare the two and show exactly which part of society’s fears was addressed through the course of the story.
