Explanation:

In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley does not actually appear to have a negative view of all science, or all scientific discoveries. Instead, she seems to imply that, while science itself is not necessarily bad, some scientific discoveries might be. She particularly focuses on scientific discoveries that are made for personal glory. She believes that these pose a great danger to society, as they follow the wrong motivations.
