The sentences can be classified as 1. complex, 2. simple, 3. compound, 4. compound-complex.
The classification of a sentence as complex, simple, compound, etc. depends on:
- The number of clauses
- If the clauses are dependant (incomplete ideas) or independent
Let's analyze each of the sentences:
1. This sentence contains two clauses The original monster wasn't Boris Karloff and it was a character created more... The second clause is dependant because it has only a complete meaning if the first sentence is included.
- Independent clause + 1 dependant clause = complex sentence
2. This sentence contains only one clause because there is only one verb Is and this idea is complete.
- Independent clause = simple sentence
3. This sentence includes two independent clauses, the first one is Prometheus stole fire... and the second one is Shelley's gruesome tale was influenced... as both are complete ideas.
- Independent clause + 1 independent clause = compound sentence
4. This sentence includes one dependent clause Even though Prometheus..., and two independent ones the gods were, and they chained.
- Dependent clause + 2 independent clauses = complex-compound sentence
