i also have a 5 minute speech but my question is different.

mine is "to what extent is Mary Shelly's Frankenstein a product of its time for which it was created"

Help!!! lol

The main thing you have to do here is look at what was happening in society. Ie. the 19th century. Any particular movements that were occuring? Then look at the complication of Frankenstein- that is what Shelley is commenting/concerned about.

Look at how both texts ridiucle the people involved, the inherent predjudice against the replicants in BRDC, the fact that F cannot reveal the existance of his monster without being thought insane and to a lesser extent, waltons lack of acceptence by the crew because he believes F, make sure you always say directors cut when refering to BRDC and put in plenty of quotes!
