    Mary Shelley was influenced by the French Revolution and interested in science and scientific theories. She moved to Geneva after her mother died shortly after Mary's birth. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in 1818, which explores themes of interest in revolutionary ideas but also fear of their consequences, the quest for forbidden knowledge through experiments that go beyond natural limits, and social prejudices against those seen as outcasts like the Monster.
