How does Frankenstein reflect the romantic era?
Everything about Frankenstein is reflectant of the Romantic era. Romanticism was a movement which deviated from the classical writing, which emphasized realism and real issues. Romanticists believed in the focus of, for instance, emotions such as love, horror, sorrow, et cetera. If you think of logical/rational versus emotional/irrational, the latter would best reflect the romantic era. Considering that the story is about a monster that terrifies people and has those emotional undertones, it’s a sort of self-evident example of romanticism.
