Frankenstein

Question: How could the novel Frankenstein be understood differently if read in a different culture.

     Frankenstein was  created by a great scientist named Victor Frankenstein. He was formed from dead people's combined body parts .  But after he was brought to life, his creator abandoned him because of his grotesque looks. When the monster tried to "fit in" with other people, he was pushed away by society and was considered a "freak."Thus making him violent towards society and his creator.

    The story of Frankenstein may be viewed differently depending on people's beliefs and culture.
Victor Frankenstein after seeing how grotesque his creation was, abandoned Frankenstein.  In Asian culture it would be unacceptable and a great shame if you abandon your child.  Asians are very
tight knit family, abandoning your  family much so your child is not a common practice.

     Victor Frankenstein created a monster from cadavers. In cultures most specifically in some parts of Japan  and China where they worship their ancestors this would be utterly disgusting and disrespectful.
Furthermore a human creating another creature can be a clash between science and religion. With the onslaught of discoveries and breakthrough in science people tend to act like God.
