Who wrote "Frankenstein"?

  1. Thomas Hardy

  2. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

  3. Jane Austen

  4. Emily Bronte

The correct answer is: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

"Frankenstein" is a classic novel written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The other options listed are incorrect as they are all well-known English authors from different literary periods, but they did not write "Frankenstein". Thomas Hardy was a Victorian novelist, Jane Austen wrote during the Romantic period, and Emily Bronte was a Victorian poet and novelist. Mary Shelley, on the other hand, wrote "Frankenstein" during the Gothic literary movement in the early 19th century. So while they were all important and influential writers, only Mary Shelley can be credited with writing "Frankenstein".
