Final answer:

The excerpt from Frankenstein reflects the themes of scientific pursuit, Enlightenment thinking, and societal beliefs presented in the novel.


Explanation:

  2. Enlightenment thinking included the idea that science would solve all the world's problems within a few centuries. The influence of Enlightenment ideals of science and progress can be seen in Frankenstein's relentless pursuit of scientific discoveries.
  3. Science and reason interfered with long-held beliefs about government and society. The novel challenges Enlightenment views of science and Romanticism's ideals through the characters of Frankenstein and Robert Walton.
