Question

Which author first envisioned the conflict that would result from creating new life out of dead body parts?

Answer 1

The answer is Mary Shelley

Answer 2

Answer:

A). Mary Shelley.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley, the popular English writer, known for her marvelous scientific fiction titled 'Frankenstein' or 'The Modern Prometheus.' She was the first who envisaged the conflict created by the transformation of dead body parts into a new life through her most acknowledged work i.e. 'Frankenstein.' The 'Monster' in the novel is clearly substantiating this vision of her. She portrays the monster as Victor's creation(represents scientific advancement) by animating the collection of old body parts and strange chemicals which eventually becomes a threat for his(Victor, the creator) own life. The key idea behind the depiction of this conflict is to show the 'brutal consequences associated with the excessive pursuit of science to overpower nature.' Thus, option A is the correct answer.
