Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was written during a summer holiday in 1816. 1816 was the 'Year without a Summer', and saw the last worldwide famine due to climatic reasons.
Mary Shelley's novel is about what happens when Science begins to do things that only God was supposed to be able to do. In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein creates life - but in fact after 1816 agricultural science was able to control, and mitigate, worldwide famines (which had previously been a regular feature of human life).
Humans are not yet used to how much control we suddenly seem to have over 'Acts of God'. The global plagues and famines which used to be a regular feature of life are now almost history (cholera and smallpox are already historical diseases). We are even able to give people new hearts and allow barren couples to have children through IVF.
Many people worry that Man is not yet wise enough to 'Play God' - but nobody wants to refuse the antibiotics which will stop them from dying in their early 40's.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein examines what happens when an ordinary scientist is given the power of life and death. These days every surgeon in an ER has that on a weekly basis.

In the movie- and this shocked audiences, Frankenstein"s monster attacked and accidentally killed a child by tossing her into a lake in what looked like a park. Naturally, this stirred up the townspeople that a MONSTER was on the loose. Child abuse is a real monster topic and it is intriguing it was worked into the Colin Clive- James Whale Frankenstein film- the critics did not like the child murder sequence- perhaps he could have accidentally dunked her but she survived- or similar (Pink heart) surgery to soften the blows. In the book, his first real victim was William, Victor's younger brother. He had wandered off in the woods, and he insulted the monster for his ugliness. The monster gets angry and strangles him.
