Write a paper that brings together (1) Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and (2) one cultural artifact of your choice outside of the course syllabus but resonates with the literature and science fiction themes of the course.
Choose a cultural artifact that, when put in conversation with a text from the course, helps you answer the questions with regards to Frankenstein:
How do fictions of science shape the world in which we live?
What is the role of science in fiction, and fiction or cultural narratives in science?
How does understanding how narrative works help us to see and critically examine the power dynamics in fiction and science?
