The X files episode that we watched connects to our definition of science fiction because it involves a scientific mistake that could potentially happen, but is not likely. The main question in this story is "What is the hideous creature that is attacking everyone?" You can tell it is a science fiction story because the answer is scientific, not magical.
The episode of X files that we watched showed the ideas found in the Frankenstein Complex because the child that the old farmer kept was something that was made by humans, then feared by humans. The farmers other son creates this monster and then it begins to terrorize the women in the town, causing all the people in the town to become afraid of this creature. It was a very ugly and unusual looking thing, which is another reason why everyone was afraid of it. However, he did not intend to hurt anyone, he simply wanted to be accepted. But when he shows himself, people react with fear and hatred because they are scared of him.
Personally, I liked this episode of the X Files, it was very suspenseful and interesting. It also definately showed the Frankenstein Complex.
