TITLE. Dr. Victor Frankenstein. A serial entrepreneur in the field of genetic engineering and bio-electronic medicine. THESIS: What does Mary Shelly’s Dr. Victor Frankenstein have in common with?
Steve Jobs, Nikola Tesla, Benjamin Franklin, Richard Branson, Thomas Edison, Elon Musk, Albert Einstein and Jeff Bezos. Really nothing other than they, were all considered to be serial entrepreneurs. You know the folks who in part are responsible for the advancement of human civilization because of their enormous contributions made as scientists, inventors, and innovators through the course of time. And Dr. Victor Frankenstein is part of that club of serial entrepreneur. Mary Shelley frankenstein (The Modern Prometheus) has been interpreted …show more content…
