<span>1. </span><span>I believe the correct answer is Percy Bysshe
Shelley. </span>
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.
<span>2. </span>I
believe the correct answer is for the contest with friends.
<span> The purpose for written the novel “Frankenstein”
was for the contest with her friends when she was residing in Switzerland
during summer. The contest to write a ghost story was proposed by Lord Byron and
in this contest participated Lord Byron, Percy Shelly, John W. Polidori and
Marry Shelly.</span>
<span>3. </span><span>I believe the correct answer is German ghost
stories.</span>
According to the Shelly in the prologue, on the
rainy day they stumbled upon the German horror stories translated in French
which inspired the idea of writing the "ghost stories" that summer.
The most influential from those stories was “The History of the Inconstant
Lover”.
<span>4. </span><span>I believe the correct answer is using electricity
to create life by reanimating the corpse and manufacturing certain part
according to galvanism.</span>
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.
<span>5. </span>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.
<span>6. </span>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.

Shelly began writing the novel “Frankenstein” due to the contest with her
friends when she was residing in Switzerland during rainy summer night. The
contest to write a ghost story was proposed by Lord Byron and in this contest
participated Lord Byron, Percy Shelly, John W. Polidori and Marry Shelly.
