<u>Answer:</u>
In Frankenstein, the two ideas symbolized by Prometheus interact build on one other as R.W. believes firmly in his ability to achieve his goals, but he is challenged by the natural world he seeks to conquer.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Frankenstein is mostly addressed as the Modern Prometheus because he stole something from God which has not been intended to be recognised to humans, and with scientific method and advanced technology he redefined his concept. He like Prometheus and mankind were punished for their actions.
But the difference between the punishments were that Frankenstein was destined to alienation mentally, and the deities bound Prometheus. The difference highlights another point that in ancient times, the Gods controlled everything and were responsible for everything that happened.
But in modern terms, man is in control of his actions and its consequences. Furthermore, the light imagery used as metaphors for understanding such as the "thunder" that Frankenstein had seen in the oak tree account, which embodied motivation and devastation is why Frankenstein is called a Modern Prometheus.
