Exploring the themes in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, the thesis delves into the significance of the Promethean motif, particularly the element of fire, which has been largely overlooked in existing literature. While previous analyses have concentrated on moral dilemmas and critiques of democracy, this work aims to illuminate how the concept of fire serves as a crucial symbol throughout Shelley's narrative. By examining this unique aspect, the thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of Shelley's literary legacy and thematic concerns.
