Shelly's legacy


Frankenstein influence in modern culture is very relevant in all forms of media entertainment and advertisements. One of the things in which I find very interesting is that the idea of man’s creation having its free will is retold many times in different stories and genres. An example, is the movie I robot. The movie centers how robots, whose purpose was to serve mankind is suddenly turned against their creators. The robots begin to wreak havoc and thus begin a story of survival. However, during the movie one of the robots begins to act like the monster in Frankenstein as well thus the themes remain similar. Shelly’s legacy is seen throughout all forms of storytelling media and her presence will remain with us so as long her story remains told.
