Answer 1

Fire in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley:

In the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, the scientist named Victor Frankenstein resurrects a dead body and bridges the space between life and death.

With the help of some stolen organs and assorted limbs of corpses he builds a lifeless body and brings the creature into life. Then the creature swears a revenge against Victor for bringing him into this cruel world.

Fire, the dual-edged sword of light provides warmth, light and protects from wild animals and in addition to that has many destructive effects.

The Greek god Prometheus bestowed the knowledge of fire upon humans and then as a result of this got punished. Likewise, Victor Frankenstein gets punished and his knowledge of secret of life remains a secret.
