摘　　要：Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein written in 1818 was considered to be the world’s first science fiction. The monster in the work is a humanoid creature created by the protagonist Frankenstein using science and technology. The monster began to seek human identity from the day it was born. However, due to its special identity, the monster could not integrate into the human world and eventually died. Through comparing the humanoid creature in the novel with the monster in Bulgakov’s The Heart of a Dog, the author mainly analyzes the same and different metaphors of the image “monster” in both works and reveals the realistic meaning of the works. Finally, the author briefly summarizes the theme of Frankenstein: the eternal conflict between human beings and the scientific development and the deteriorating anthropocentrism in the process of modernization.
