In the era of the Enlightment movement, lots of new knowleges and ideas came out.And people thought that everything must have a scientific way to explain it.Things should be logos and morol.But the book Frankenstein didn't follow the idea of Enlightment. What the auther write can't find a science way to explain it and it didn't logos. When everybody follow the idea of Enlightment, Mary Shelley didn't, she used her own to creat her artifacts. She didn't effect by the Enlightment movement. So that's why her artifacts can be so special at that time.
