How is the death of Frankenstein's mother ironic?

The lovely Elizabeth, adopted by the Frankenstein family, contracted Scarlet Fever. Though Mrs. Frankenstein was made aware of the possible danger to her own health, "when she heard that her favourite was menaced," she continued to care for Elizabeth. Thus she contracted the Scarlet Fever and died while Elizabeth lived and went on to marry Victor only to be killed by the monster later in the novel. You could also say that since Victor's creator died, he- as the creator of the monster- must also die.


Is Frankenstein scary?

As with all 19th century literature it is long on description, setting and philosophy - many people now-a-days find that boring and hard to get through. You have to approach it with the attitude that it will require 'slow and careful' reading, not something that today's literary body is willing to do. If you can 'get-by' that or (like more elite readers) can appreciate it, then yes, it is quite in-depth and provocative.
