Question:I have a final to write comparing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus account of death to Socrates in Plato's Crito and Apology. Any ideas?

I was thinking about comparing Social death is a form of ugliness, and suffering that is worth than physical death.

Toss around some ideas?

That sounds really good. Try focusing on how the Monster ran from his "ugliness" and fled into death just like socrates refused exile and prefered death.
