1. I believe the correct answer is Percy Bysshe Shelley.

The prologue of the novel “Frankenstein” (also known as “The Modern Prometheus”) and is signed by the English author Mary Shelley, but it is commonly supposed that the prologue has been written by her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Marry Shelly often listened to the conversation between her husband and Lord Byron. The one that triggered her “waking dream” was the conversation about Dr. Darwin’s experiments - using electricity to create life by reanimating the corpse and manufacturing certain part according to galvanism.

5. I believe the correct answer is because the writer is portraying human passions more comprehensive and commanding than any ordinary relations of existing events could portray.

In the preface of the “Frankenstein”, Percy Shelly writes that I he doesn’t consider himself as “merely weaving a series of supernatural terrors”. He admits that inspiration did come from "a mere tale of spectres or enchantment", but it conveys human passion more comprehensive and commanding than any ordinary relation could have.

6. I believe the correct answer is “The Iliad”, “The Tempest” and “Midsummer Night’s Dream, “Paradise Lost”

The works about human nature inspired “Frankenstein” were Homer’s epic “Iliad”, Shakespeare’s dramas “The Tempest” and “Midsummer Night’s Dream” and Milton’s epic “Paradise Lost”. Percy Shelly states that he didn’t scrupled to innovate upon the elementary principles of human nature, but their combinations.

7. Marry Shelly began writing the novel “Frankenstein” due to the contest with her friends when she was residing in Switzerland during rainy summer night.
