I wish I'd read it last week or else waited until tomorrow. I wanted to bring up today--and still will, pending the flow of discussion--the way fantasy and science fiction mingle in Frankenstein. How maybe it doesn't matter whether the animating juice is technological or mystical and to explore what that means. The story of a person bringing to life a monster and then regretting the consequences is not new or unique. But is there a modern day switch from magic to tech? (Perhaps not, but maybe.) Does the switch matter? What does that say about how we view technology? And how we view magic? Well, this blog posts certainly steals my thunder.

Of course, fantasy had been around long before <i>Frankenstein</i>; so arguably had science fiction. I like your comparison between Shelley and LeGuin. In thinking about their differences, I wonder if it would it be fair to say that <i>Frankenstein</i> lends itself to Freud the way that <i>A Wizard of Earthsea</i> does to Jung?
