What is something that can appear entertaining but in reality is dangerous? In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the character Victor Frankenstein is consumed by the thought of being able to prevent death. To do so, he begins to research and experiment how to bring a being to life. Frankenstein had successfully brought a being to life, however he saw this creation as flawed and the creature so became it. The creation had begun to murder humans in contempt for Frankenstein.

One example of this show is in the article “The People Onscreen Are Fake”. The “Disinformation Is Real” is when deepfake technology is “used to distort public figures, like a video that circulated on social media last year falsely showing Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, announcing a surrender” (Mozur and Satariano). This video circulating the internet could have created unsafe conditions for both sides of the Ukrainian-Russian war, showcasing how risky it is to have this type of technology around the internet. In Frankenstein, a type of information that was false that was dangerous for the people involved was when the monster had found a girl in a barn, it had turned out to be Justien Morizt, the servant of the Frankenstein family after murdering the brother of Frankenstein, William. When the monster found her, he was angry because he had realized that the human race would never accept him because of his appearance, and he assumed that she would also not accept him, leading him to become more angered.

This led her to get arrested and given the death penalty, leading to the sorrow of the Frankenstin family.

The first atomic weapon was created in 1939 by J. Robert Oppenheimer and Leslie Groves. The atomic bomb was made with a purpose: to stop Japan from being able to create war and to save as many lives as possible. Victor Frankenstein’s creature was made with good intentions: to give life to an inanimate object and to create the first perfect being.

Atomic weapons could be considered a “Modern Day Frankenstein” because like the creatures in Frankenstein, they created terror and they hurt innocent people.
