I. Introduction *A. Thesis Mary Shelly, in her book Frankenstein, draws upon many sources of literature such as Paradise Lost, but gives a ironic touch when the monster causes the demise of Victor Frankenstein, and through this, she deliberately challenges the established social order. II. Point One : Brief Account on Mary Shelley's life and how her friends were rebellious *A. Sub point *1. Parallel between Satan in Paradise Lost and Monster's vow to revenge Victor-quotes later *2.

Wrap up the whole thing into how mythical literature influenced Mary Shelley-transition to second point III. Point Two: *1. Brief account on Mary Shelley's biography and how she read these mythical work *2. How Mary Shelley challenged the social order with the story of Frankenstein - Patty Inglish [|__http://classiclit.about.com/od/frankenstein/fr/aa_frankenstein.htm__] IV. Point Three *A. Mary Shelley, although an aristocrat, should be considered as a liberal progressive since her work deliberately challenges all the order, which can be seen as ironic because she attacks with allusions literature that was aimed at aristocratic audience (Paradise Lost and Greek myth were accessible primarily to rich people) Conclusion

In Paradise Lost, Satan fights against God. In Promethean myth, Prometheus betrays God. What is the similarity between these two? Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, draws upon many sources of literature such as Paradise Lost, but has irony when the monster causes the demise of Victor Frankenstein because the creature kills the creator, which can be seen as a challenge to the established social order of the Victorian Age.
