In addition, women's novels were valueless at that moment. Since the Enlightenment ocurred, women's values were being more influenced. Mary Shelley, the author of "Frankenstein", has used her right to publish her opinions.

In accordance with the cultural values of the Enlightenment, human thought and behavior dominated by the kind of thinking should be rational rather than emotional, enigmatic or blind superstition. It also should be secular. In other words, should not be disseminated to any supernatural motivation. It is derived from the Gothic horror fiction story of a mad scientist describe a class of fiction. The first one, is Mary Shelley published in 1818 Frankenstein. Gothic horror novels follow the routine, these novel anti-Enlightenment, from the kind of emotional urgency to mine material, moral stories compiled them, under the guise of science to reveal the origin of evil, and how to resist the kind of sin. These novels to illustrate the scientific rationalism for a person's mental health is harmful. Meanwhile, those who hold the secret knowledge of modern secular scientists, according to traditional moral standards, are incomprehensible freak. In addition, these novels also remind the reader that secular science must conform to traditional Christian values of Jewish ethical guidelines.

"Frankenstein" as the founder of science fiction, beyond the ordinary with the profound significance of science fiction. Height of the crisis in modern British Enlightenment to the French Revolution as an advocate of rational context, indeed gave rise to practical benefits, but the reason they can not solve all problems. But this can not replace religion or faith can give people the ultimate goal of bringing mind and comfort. The anti-all itself, or spiritual experience from the inside to find the meaning of life. This respect with the then generally accepted in the Christian West, affect. Therefore, in the belief in the vacuum of modern society , this "Frankenstein" gave us a generalization of the religion into a religious perspective, that the return on the faith and heart of people today can still bring a little enlightenment.

People always gain experiences from failure. In 17th century, scientists improve their invention through their fresh ideas which is discovered from the bad aspects of old invention. Scientisis keep updating their stuff because they know things will being eliminated if they stay in the old style. In the "Frankenstein", if Dr. Frankenstein does not give up his creature, he must fix the bad aspect of the creature he made. If he can make it better, everythings will turn out easily and simply. People should correct the failure to make things getting close to perfect. Only the improvement can keep things longer and being perfect.

During the age of slavery, black people have no value in the society. They are working so hard everyday and even dont have a better rest. Some masters treat them badly like smacking them when they dont do their job well. Through the appearance of Enlightenment, the slavery had been abolished. In the story of Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein should treat the creature equally as human. The Creature is symbolizing the slave because Dr. Frankenstein abandon him and want to destroy him. The creature just want to live in a family like everybody has, he can do what human can do, such as going to school, playing with friends, and having happiness...etc

“What could not be expected in the country of eternal light?” asks Walton, displaying a faith in, and optimism about, science. In Frankenstein, light symbolizes knowledge, discovery, and enlightenment. The natural world is a place of dark secrets, hidden passages, and unknown mechanisms; the goal of the scientist is then to reach light. The dangerous and more powerful cousin of light is fire. The monster’s first experience with a still-smoldering flame reveals the dual nature of fire: he discovers excitedly that it creates light in the darkness of the night, but also that it harms him when he touches it. I think fire also symbols the evil mind in monster's deeply spirit because his experiences. He learns what feeling is, he understands Dr. Frankenstein abandon him and feels hateful.
