Frankenstein Critical AnalysisProfessor Naomi Hetherington critiqued the novel ‘Frankenstein’ 1818 version. The professor herself is a University tutor in English and Humanities at the University of Sheffield (“Dr. Naomi Hetherington”). She also co-leads the Gothic Bible project in the same institute. The research interests of the critic have remained religion and gender from the beginning, particularly from the late-Victorian period. Further expanding on these interests, she shows interest in various representations of the religion with its Gothic side in the famous TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003).Further, she is found to be the General Editor of a 4-volume unique text called Nineteenth Century Religion, Literature, and Society that is published by a well-known firm, Routledge (“Dr. Naomi Hetherington”). Since she is a researcher, her current work is writing a lengthy piece of research directed towards female freethinkers from the New Woman fiction, which is almost the length of a book.

…is evident when he becomes a victim of worldly circumstances and tries to win over them with his good or bad use of the powers. He gradually strays sway from the God-like features that God created close to Himself, which later turn things upside down (“Frankenstein and the Miltonic Creation”).Naomi has presented the critique with an exposition and substantiation of texts that do not leave the reader confused that man was made God-like, but with his misuse of powers, he turned evil. Frankenstein, just like man, blamed God for making him like that and did not want to admit that he was immersed in worldly attractions and possessions. Frankenstein and the man became victims of their actions, their innocence turned into miserable lives, and blame still is put upon God. Naomi created an association of theological works with Biblical indication of the thesis’s rationalism and a comparison of different versions of the novel that reiterate the thesis with clarification of what man as divine….....
