As I told you in Monday's lesson, to do this week's homework you need to find out the meaning of the word HUBRIS. (It is used a lot when talking about Greek tragedy.)
Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein is subtitled "The Modern Prometheus"; last week we talked about the Greek myth of Prometheus.
Your homework is to write two paragraphs, one explaining why the story of Frankenstein is like the story of Prometheus, and the other to explain how Frankenstein's story is an example of hubris.
