Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Mary Shelley’s text is directed at middle-to upper-class English readers during her lifetime.
Detailed explanation-2: -This is where Mary conceived the idea for her novel Frankenstein after the group read a book of ghost stories on a rainy day and Lord Byron suggested that they all write their own horror stories.
Detailed explanation-3: -Published in 1818, Frankenstein was a success and became so popular that the character of Frankenstein’s monster became a well-known image even in the 1800s.
Detailed explanation-4: -Whether or not Mary was influenced by Dippel’s story, the premise for Frankenstein seems to have been lurking in her subconscience. In her 1831 preface to the novel, she attributed her inspiration to a nightmare she had at Geneva, where the company spent their evenings terrifying each other with chilling stories.
