Abstract :
The debates between science and religion have
been a long way discussion in many life aspects; especially
how one is compared to another and seen as more
superior or inferior. Science has dramatically developed
since the Renaissance era in the 14th century to the Age
of Reason in the late 18th century, until today. The
tremendous science advancement has been portrayed well
in Mary Shelley’s book entitled Frankenstein where the
scientific act of revival is clearly shown and practised.
This study wants to emphasise the science mythology in
the novel, related to how science and religion are depicted
both in the novel and social practice. Using Roland
Barthes’ semiotic approach, this research has analysed
how science and religion should be perceived through
denotative, connotative, and myth interpretations.
Finally, it can be concluded that there is a tangible bond
between science and religion that is supposed to create
harmony for both aspects of social practices.
