【正文】 nds up as a monster. On one level, Frankenstein is entertaining— a good horror story, though a little dated when pared, for example, to Stephen King’ s best sellers like the Dark Tower series. But Shelley writes more than just scary entertainment. On a deeper level, her book forces us to ask whether humans reach too far in playing God. Geic engineering(基因工程 )already enables us to change the food we eat and the very bodies in which we live. At what point are we trying to take over God’ s creativity, to gain knowledge that is as forbidden as the fruit of the Garden of Eden? Shelley, of course, knew nothing of geic engineering. But she did know that the Industrial Revolution was sweeping across England and ambitions for scientific progress were intense in the eighteenth and early nieenth century. She was deeply troubled by what human beings might discover about themselves, and the effects of those discoveries on society. Our reading of great literature can also be enriched by understanding the author’ s personal interests and anxieties. Shelley was only eighteen when she wrote Frankenstein. Birth and death are closely linked in her prose and in her experiences. Her mother had died giving birth to her, and by the time she began writing this great novel, she herself had already had two babies out of marriage. One had died within a few weeks. The novel reflects her deep anxieties about giving birth and her fears that birth will bring death. 62. According to the passage, reading fictions _____________.
