Show transcript
Liminality describes the physical process of crossing across boundaries and borders.
The Creature is a liminal creature because it is characterised as a living corpse.
Victor has committed a moral transgression against nature, God and science in creating the Creature.
Shelley uses the Gothic genre to explore the darker side of humanity and consuming ambition.
Shelley arguably presents us with the idea that real monsters are not born, but shaped by society or those around them.
