Other works were often more focused on love, morality, or adventure.

This was a less conventional structure for the time. 4).Moral Dilemmas: The novel raises complex moral questions about the responsibility of the creator towards their creation. This was a relatively new theme in literature and challenged traditional notions of good and evil.

8. 5).Female Authorship: Another unique aspect is that Mary Shelley, a woman, wrote this novel. During the early 19th century, female authors were not as prevalent in the literary world, making her contribution particularly noteworthy.
