Frankenstein paragraph

An archetype is an original model which later copies are made. Really, it's what sets the "bar" for everything that follows.  At the time Frankenstein was written,  a masterpiece was created , a "horror" novel that terrorized readers not simply by the "creature", but by the reality that they, themselves could be monstrous as humans in their streotypical and bigoted way that they treat each other. Frankenstein was not only dead but he was a living human being before his death and being stichted together by his creator. the archetype that is evident in this novel is the created turning against the creator. Specifically, the monster Frankenstein turns against his creator, killing his brother and framing one of his friends.
