    Frankenstein and the Problem in Parenting Ever since Mary Shelley published the novel Frankenstein in 1818, many philosophers have debated its significance and the underlying meanings. While some suggest that racism is the most important theme, others believe that the 1931 movie rendition of Frankenstein more clearly shows that parenting is the key focus. When one considers how Dr. Frankenstein’s creation, the main character, reacts to the world around him, most people would likely be surprised that his actions almost always reflected those of a child.
