In the old Greek myth, Prometheus took fire from the gods
and gave it to the people. For this, he was severely punished. His crime was to take
knowledge that was reserved for the gods and give it to the
people.
In Frankenstein, Victor
Frankenstein takes the power to create life away from the gods and gives it to himself.
He is clearly taking knowledge that was never meant for people to have. Because of
this, he is punished as well.
To me, this is the connection
between the two stories.
