Analyzing critiques:"The Modern Prometheus"

Frankenstein was considered the modern Prometheus because just as Prometheus brought forbidden knowledge to humans, Victor brought forbidden knowledge to his own humans. According to the legend, Prometheus only defied the Gods in order to help his own race. They were always shivering and they ate raw meat. His goal was to bring the knowledge of fire to his brethren. Prometheus only had good intentions and so did Victor. His goal was to save humans from death; but he did not know that life and death was God's territory. Prometheus also did not know that the power of fire was the power of the Gods. When an omnipotent being is defied only destruction comes. Victor's consequence was his early death, which is ironic because he was trying to save people from dying, and Prometheus' consequence was his eternal suffering.
